So you’ve got a couple pairs of dress shoes. Black, brown, maybe some wingtips… but if you take them off and just throw them in your closet at the end of an evening, you might as well use them to play fetch with your dog.
Leather soaks up stuff. Like sweat from your feet. Leather also has a tendency to collapse under the weight of a mysterious force known as gravity.
Y’know, Gravity:
Cedar shoe trees
The leather used to make your shoes wrinkles when you wear and walk in them. The wood molds help to prevent those wrinkles from setting in too deeply. Now, why cedar? Because cedar pulls that excess moisture out of the leather, which if let to sit can do serious damage to your footwear.
That and cedar just smells nice.
A pair of shoe trees for each pair of your dress shoes. No exceptions. Why Allen Edmonds
Not sure what size to get? Regular widths (D) sizes 10, 10.5, and 11 are all large. Here’s the rest:
From Target clearance t-shirts, to 43% off Brooks Brothers 1818 line Italian suits.
Linen-wool sportcoats, UK made dirty buck chukkas, and longingly looking (very) forward to fall.
In person with BR's flagship suit separates.
Significant savings. While they last. Which usually isn't very long.
One of the best affordable watch releases in recent memory. Yours to win. Perhaps.
Nordstrom Rack extra 25% off clearance, Billy Reid Summer Sale, Allen Edmonds, etc.
