IKEAMen's Keep Shape Shoe Tree 2 Pairs

Update: Jan 16. I've had really good service from these shoe trees and today ordered a second set. you can't beat the price and they've held up and again, the caveat is that you can't have big feet. i'm a 9.5, just small enough.EArlier review: I've seen some 1-star reviews (most 1-star reviews are tantrums, not reviews) and my experience is that for a size 10 medium Puma cross trainer shoe, this is an excellent buy. I'm not looking for a massive, super sprung shoe tree to stretch the shoe into shape. I just wanted a well made shoe tree (for $5, including S&H with Amazon Prime) that I could slip into my shoes when I return from a workout. This fits the bill nicely. Acutally, it may work even better for smaller sizes because more bend will go into the spring and a bit more force applied to the head of the shoe tree. I've used shoe trees all my life and what I've learned is that some shoes, more expensive and requiring more absorbant power from cedar and more stretching power, get my more expensive shoe trees and my cross trainers and some other, lighter weight and lighter use shoes, get shoe trees like the ones in this ad. *I think the only caveat I would add is that the head of the shoe tree (in keeping with the price) is small and narrow, and might not suffice for a shoe with a large toe box. Still, a good buy for me.

These do the trick to keep my sneakers shaped and crease free.

I'm writing this review because this product was a waste of my valuable time and I hope I can prevent you from making the same mistake.One of the 4 arrived broken (box wasn't damaged). But it's not only that, their width is too narrow for any men's shoes and they are much heavier than they should be. Bottom line: wrongly shaped, super fragile AND much too heavy (if weight's not an issue, I suggest you get wood shoe trees, their so much better), so what else could go wrong? I guess nothing, this product is wrong in just about every way.Now, to ship it back and get a refund.

These do what they are supposed to, but be careful, the plastic that goes into the shoe cracks easily. This comes with 22 pairs of these, and I have had one shoe shape from each pair crack. They still function fine, but that crack will get worse with more use.

I know that some people are upset that these are IKEA shoe trees sold for a higher price. I actually bought the same shoe trees at IKEA for my husband's shoes and loved them so much that (since there is no IKEA near where I live) bought these from Amazon at a higher price and still feel it was worth it. They are not wooden shoe trees so they do not hold your shoe's shape completely but they are light and sturdy, good for travel and works just fine. You may have to adjust it a little to make sure that the top of the shoe tree smooths out the leather the way you want it to, but very easy once you get the hang of it.

i have been using a pair of these for around a month time. I only apply them to 1 single pair of shoes. I notice some cracks are forming at the joint of the metal piece and the plastic piece. Also, the ball point part of the shoe tree will leave marks on the insole of your shoes so use that information to your advantage when deciding on which products to go for.

This thing is cheap and gets the work done. Great productOnly thing this may lack in terms of functionality in comparison to an actual shoe tree is that, this only applies pressure on the front top portion of your shoes, whereas in an actual shoe tree I believe you can get uniform pressure on all sides.

These fit certain shoes perfectly and other shoes excellent. My adidas Tubular X, Perfect. Width (at the toe box) and length. Casual Moccasins, Excellent. On some of my Wingtip Oxford the front of the Shape is a bit narrow. I've found I can add wool sock material to widen the toe, so that the shoe trees are wide enough on a few pair of my shoes. Yes, you could buy these at Ikea. But if you can't get to Ikea....buy them here. I wear a Size 9.5 - 10 medium depending on the shoe type. Dress, Casual, OG, SB, shoes, These do a nice job at keeping my shoes shapes.
