Shoe trees

Hey guys,

Any idea where I can buy a pair of cedar wood shoe trees in Dublin?

I've tried googling and can only find places abroad selling them.

Thanks!

Don't know about here for certain, but if you wanted to give Boylan's a ring you couldn't go too far wrong.

I get mine from Bexley (http://www.bexley.com/Bexley/shoe-Embauchoirs-ACCPRD-EN.htm). They've a sale on at the moment too, so well worth checking out.

I got mine in Arnotts. Remember that you only need one or two pair at the most. The moisture (from normal wear) in your shoes will dry out in about 24 hours and the tree dosen't really do anything after that time. So just put the tree into whatever shoes you wearing that day. You don't need trees for every shoe (even though it does look magnificent).

Thanks for the tip, hadn't really thought about many pairs I would need.

Were they downstairs in the basement section of Arnotts with all the suits?

Nope, not downstairs but with the mens shoes - where they used to keep the Loakes and Barkers shoes before they rearranged the shoe dept. a few months ago. Ask a staff member as they may have some out in the storage area.
Lidl/Aldi did some a while ago but I don't think they were ceder.

I'll pop in tomorrow morning then. Thanks a million OldGoat!
