Do shoe trees actually work?

I want to know if they reduce or prevent creasing in leather shoes.

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 27 12:27:07 2013 No.6046012 yes, they work

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 27 12:28:07 2013 No.6046024 >>6045985 Yes. Use them if your leather shoes are worth anything. Stopping creasing in leather is impossible; shoe trees absorb moisture and maintain the shoe's shape.

this

the notion that they stop creasing is some made up MFA bull shit. Unless your trees are specifically made to fit your shoe, then some kind of creasing is inevitable.

Use them to absorb sweat and maintain a bit of shape. Sand them when the cedar smell has died down

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 27 13:08:37 2013 No.6046250 >>6046246 Yes, I want to minimise the wear marks on the vamps. Apparently shoe trees are good for this, but I;ve heard from other places that all their really good for is moisture control
