Slitesterk Boot Trees – Boot Shapers (Pair)

Description

Slitesterk Boot Trees — keep your favourite boots standing proud.

Boots that flop over in the wardrobe are boots that crease, crack and lose their shape. These Slitesterk boot trees are the simple, sensible answer. Slide a pair into your boots after wearing and they hold the shaft upright, so the leather stays smooth and the shape stays true. It is a small investment that protects an expensive pair for years — and yes, they come as a pair, so both boots are looked after.

Why choose Slitesterk Boot Trees?

• Prevents slouching and creasing: they hold the boot shaft upright so it cannot collapse, keeping the leather smooth instead of folding into permanent creases.
• Protects your investment: good boots are not cheap. Keeping their shape means they look better and last far longer, so you replace them far less often.
• Makes cleaning and polishing easier: with the boot held firm and upright, treating the leather is much simpler than wrestling a floppy boot.
• Tidy storage: your boots stand neatly in the wardrobe rather than crumpling in a heap on the floor.
• Supplied as a pair: both boots stay supported, ready for their next outing.

How to use Slitesterk Boot Trees

1. Let your boots air and dry after wearing.
2. Slide a boot tree into each boot, easing it down so it supports the shaft.
3. Adjust so the tree holds the boot upright and smooth.
4. Leave them in whenever the boots are stored between wears.
5. Remove them when you wear the boots, then pop them straight back in afterwards.

My honest tip: boot trees do their best work if you use them every time you take your boots off, not just occasionally. Leather sets in whatever shape it is left in, so a habit of slotting the trees straight back in is what keeps that lovely smooth line across the front. Pair them with a regular clean and feed and your boots will genuinely outlast the fashions.

Good to know

The most damaging thing you can do to a good pair of boots is nothing at all — leaving them slumped in a corner between wears. Leather that folds and stays folded develops deep creases that trap moisture and eventually crack right along the fold line, and once that happens there is no undoing it. Boot trees cost a fraction of a decent pair of boots yet prevent exactly this kind of permanent damage, which is why I consider them one of the smartest small buys in any wardrobe. Store your boots upright with the trees in and they will look years younger for it.
