The primary task of a shoe tree is to keep leather shoes in shape and reduce the risk of creases. A shoe tree with a screw thread offers the highest accuracy of fit, as the tensioner can be adjusted very precisely via the thread and the tension pressure on the shoe is evenly distributed. Natural lotus wood is often used for the production of shoe trees because it absorbs moisture in footwear particularly well and helps prevent unpleasant odors. The heel piece is larger than conventional tensioners with a spiral spring and optimally fills the heel area in the shoe. The shoe tree made of pine with screw thread can also be used as a shoe stretcher, as it comes with 8 plastic attachments that can be attached to the stretcher exactly where the shoe is tight. The attachments gently expand and stretch the leather when tensioned, helping to prevent blisters and discomfort caused by tight shoes. Minimal deviations in the dimensions are possible. Do not over-tighten. Excessive stretching may damage the shoe trees and your shoes.
