I have a Dasco horsehair brush. The shoe cream contains beeswax, which most quality shoe care product have.

Mustafa center will be the place to find a wide variety of Dasco products.

ANY shoe care is better than not maintaining the leather.

Better than the Woodlore ones?

Which Muji did you go? I can't locate them when I was at Marina Square's Muji

Muji shoe trees are always out of stock. Call the shops before you go down. But they are the cheapest cedar wood shoetrees you can find locally.

Woodlore ones are better imo, have sizing. Muji ones comes in 1 standard size around US 7-9 based on my estimate.

Checked Ion's last week, lots of shoe trees there with hangers and etc around the lifestyle section at the back.

Generally speaking yes. But $180 price point is tempting and some of the shoes look quite nice.

whats the $180 price pt for? i see ed et al shoes are all $300. $180 would be really interesting. looked back a few pages to find out but cant find any info haha

Woodlore ones are cheap and good, their smell is still strong after so long and its well built compared to my Herrings shoe trees which the kob came off after only about 2 months.

Curious on how Muji ones are like, shall drop by Ion store when I am in the area

I cannot comment on the quality of any of these shoe trees. But I was told that the cedar fragrance will return if you lightly sandpaper the surface.

woodlore shoe trees from amazon is fantastic. Cost effective, great smell, and stylish looking. About sgd$30/pair. Saw the shoetrees from muji, not really impressed.

Agreed! Best thing is that you can combine orders with others to take advantage of the free shipping from Amazon. Great price and brilliant quality. Half the price of the ones from Ed Et Al as well. Highly recommended.
