Spring-Type Shoe Shapers / Shoe Trees

Spring-Type Shoe Shapers / Shoe Trees

• These use a spring mechanism (metal coil) to push the heel and toe apart when inserted into the shoe.

• Often compact, lightweight, and inexpensive

• They help prevent creasing and deformation by keeping the shoe stretched.

• Pros: Easy to insert/remove, simple mechanism, usually cheaper.

• Cons: Because the spring fixes a single tension and size range, they can sometimes apply uneven pressure and are less precise for larger or bespoke shoes
