Slitesterk Cedar Oil – Shoe Tree Care Oil – 20ml

Description

Slitesterk Cedar Oil – keep your shoe trees working properly

If you’ve invested in a good pair of cedar shoe trees, it’s worth looking after them too – and that’s where this cedar oil comes in. Over time cedar wood naturally dries out and loses much of its characteristic scent, which is a shame because that aroma is part of what helps keep your shoes fresh and moisture-free between wears. A few drops of this oil brings the wood back to life.

I always tell customers that shoe trees are only doing half their job once the cedar has dried out, so treating them every few months is a small habit that protects a much bigger investment – both the trees themselves and the shoes they’re shaping.

Untreated cedar can also start to look pale and lifeless over time, losing that warm, reddish tone that makes it so appealing in the first place. A light coating of this oil brings that colour back as well as the scent, so your shoe trees end up looking as good as they smell, and continue doing their job of absorbing moisture and holding the shoe’s shape properly overnight.

Why choose Slitesterk Cedar Oil?

• Restores natural cedar scent. Revives the aroma that helps keep shoes smelling fresh between wears.
• Prevents drying and cracking. Nourishes the wood to keep it in good condition for years to come.
• Precise dropper application. The 20ml dropper bottle makes it easy to apply just the right amount without waste.
• Supports moisture absorption. Well-maintained cedar continues to draw moisture out of your shoes effectively.
• Long-lasting bottle. A little oil goes a long way, so this small bottle treats trees for a long time.

I’d suggest treating your shoe trees on the same day you polish the shoes they go into – it’s an easy habit to build into an existing routine, and you’ll always know exactly when they were last cared for rather than trying to remember months down the line.

How to use Slitesterk Cedar Oil

1. Remove the shoe trees from your shoes before treating them.
2. Apply a few drops of oil directly onto the wood, or onto a soft cloth first.
3. Rub the oil evenly across the surface of the shoe tree.
4. Leave to absorb for around 15-20 minutes.
5. Wipe away any excess oil with a clean, dry cloth before placing back in your shoes.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I oil my shoe trees?
Roughly every three to six months is a good rule of thumb, or as soon as you notice the scent has faded.

Can I use it on other cedar wood items?
Yes, it works well on cedar hangers and other cedar wood accessories, not just shoe trees.

How do I know when my shoe trees need oiling?
The clearest sign is a faded scent – if you can barely smell the cedar when you take the trees out of your shoes, it’s a good time to give them a treatment.

Can I use too much oil?
It’s best to apply sparingly and build up gradually, since over-oiling can leave the wood feeling slightly tacky rather than helping it absorb any faster.

Will it stain the inside of my shoes?
No, as long as you wipe off any excess oil before placing the trees back in your shoes, there’s no risk of transfer onto the lining.
