Why Fresh Flows?

Quickly provide aerated structural protection at home or on the go with Fresh Flows.

  • Added Protection: Leathers and shoe materials sag around heavily creased areas, promoting even
    more structural warping and wear.
  • Size Specific Support: Size specific support provides true toebox, midfoot, vamp, and tongue support.
  • Convenience: Fresh Flow Shoe Trees are simple and quick to use in your dailies.
  • Aeration & Structural Support: Provide internal aeration and structural support to keep shoe materials on point & limit creasing.
  • Versatility: Protect lifestyle footwear anytime, anywhere. Great for travel or the gym.
  • Bacteria & Mold Prevention: Stop bacteria and mold from forming in damp shoes.

Why Use Shoe Trees?

Consistent use of shoe trees immediately after wear is an essential part of keeping shoes & boots clean, uncreased, and odor-free. After wear, shoes need 8-12 hours to fully dry so adding a highly supportive, open structure allows internal & external moisture to properly dry and settle in their original shape.

  • No Shoe Trees: Leathers and shoe materials sag around heavily creased areas, promoting even
    more structural warping and wear.
  • One-size-fits-all shoe trees: Push up on the toebox and back on the heel heel during this drying time to promote more creasing and structural damage to your shoes.
  • Cardboard, socks, rags, or wadded paper: Clogs airflow and promotes bacteria, mold, and shoe odor.
  • Wood: Wood is good, but too expensive and heavy for modern life. It was highly effective when
    your dad stayed home, and only commuted back and forth to work.

Fresh Flows are a highly tested & designed, size-specific internal structure that supports without stretching, allowing shoe materials to dry in their natural shape. Shoe stay fresher, look better, and remain damage free anytime, anywhere with Fresh Flow Shoe Trees.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Do I need shoe trees for all of my shoes?

Using shoe trees can significantly extend the life of your shoes. Shoe trees, like Fresh Flows, are especially beneficial for leather shoes, boots, and athletic sneakers. These materials tend to absorb moisture and lose shape over time. However, all closed-toe shoes can benefit from use of shoe trees to allow sweat and moisture to properly dry and prevent creasing.

What are the benefits of using shoe trees?

Shoe trees help maintain shoes, boots, and sneakers by allowing shoes to dry for 8-12 hours around a supportive internal structure. Below are the main benefits of using shoe
trees:


1. Shape Retention: Shoe trees help your shoes retain their original structure, preventing unsightly creases and warping of materials. This is especially important for leather shoes that can lose their shape without proper support during the 8-12 hour drying time after use.


2. Moisture control: Fresh Flow Shoe Trees provide an open, sturdy structure under the toebox, midfoot, vamp, and tongue to allow shoes to naturally dry while the materials are fully supported by our strong, extra-wide internal framework. This helps eliminate sweat and prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria and mold, keeping shoes fresh and dry.


3. Odor Control: Our open framework helps neutralize unpleasant shoe odor from growing bacteria and mold during the drying process, leaving your footwear smelling fresh and clean.

4. Increased Lifespan: By preventing moisture buildup, creases, warping, and structural damage, shoe trees like Fresh Flows can significantly extend the lifespan of your shoes, saving you money over time.

How often should I use shoe trees?

High quality shoe trees should be used whenever you are not wearing your shoes, especially immediately after wears. This allows the shoes to dry out and retain their shape consistently as shoe materials can dry in a warped, creased state if not supported with a size-specific internal framework. Continuous moisture prevention and shape retention will keep your footwear looking and smelling the best for a long time.

What size shoe tree do I need?

It's essential to choose a shoe tree that matches the size of your shoes. One-size-fits-all shoe trees often push up on the toebox materials and back on the heel to appear to actively remove creasing; however, these shoe trees stretch out materials and warp the original shoe structure – causing more creasing and wear over time. Fresh Flow Shoe Trees at The Kingsland Shoe Project come in various sizes: Medium (6.5-9.5 US men, 8-11 women), Large (10-13 US men, 11.5-14.5 women, and XL (13.5-16 US men, 15-17.7 women) to provide the perfect fit for your shoes.

What is the difference between cedar and plastic shoe trees?

Cedar shoe trees absorb moisture and odors, whereas plastic shoe trees do not. However, cedar shoe trees are heavy, have breakable components that wear down over
time, and are cumbersome to use. Cedar shoe trees can also damage other shoes if they are set on top of them with their heavy wood and metal materials.
