Nowadays, many men in Vietnam pay more attention to preserving thier leather shoes. However, many people are not seem to care about keeping their shoe's form but leather care. If not being preserved, shoes will lose the form regardless of their high quality. There is a "treasure" that leather shoes lovers in the world always use to keep fit for the shoes and currently in Vietnam we have not known or misjudged the importance of it - shoe tree.

The role of shoe tree

Whatever the weather, our feet always have a certain amount of sweat throughout the day. Shoes will absorb sweat and produce unpleasant odors. However, the leather will be worn and deformed over time because of the saltyness of the sweat, especially with the hot and humid climate of Vietnam.

To maximize the shoe spanlife, the shoe tree is used to help dry the shoe completely for the next use. Not only does it help keep the leather from being damaged by sweat, it also makes it easier for the shoe to breathe. Most importantly, the shoe also keeps the shoe in form when drying. This will make the shoes not weakly sag after wearing and keeping the shape of the shoes. In addition, the wood will also dry the lining of the shoe so that the wearer feels more comfortable and the foot does not smell.

In short: using shoe tree will cost you less money than buying a pair of new shoes.
