shoe trees for boots?

[Anonymous]

This season I bought several nice pairs of tall boots. Is there some sort of shoe tree that I can store in them to keep the leather in shape all the way up the shaft?

Yes - they sell them at the Container Store, among other places. Or, you can just use rolled-up old magazines.

I put shoe trees in the bottom for the toe box and then boot trees (tall) in the calf area. A must so the leather doesn't collapse onto itself.

I thought you were supposed to store them on their sides rather than upright?

[Anonymous]

Store on their sides if you don't have trees. Upright if you do.

Another cheap solution is to tape together 2-3 paper towel rolls.
