curious question here, what's the sole cleaning routine of you guys??
I just brush it down to remove the debris (might need more brushes for this) but i see that sometimes its recommended to put some cream on it to condition it.

I am curious too, now that you mentioned it. I guess this question is more for shoes which one did not apply topy.

If order 5-6 pairs of Woodlore (US$20) or Allen Edmonds (US$25) from Amazon.com, u will get free shipping to SG. This will translate to about S$30each. Could be same OEM as China TaoBao, but at least QC is guarantee.

Any1 organizing MO on it..? Dont mind me joining..? :s13:

Even though I topy, I will brush the exposed part, and just put mink oil on the exposed area.
Not sure if its beneficial but it doesn't hurt (I hope).

I bought the Woodlore twin tube before which is very good quality. Its $29.28 works out to be about S$38.10 based on the recent exchange rates for my purchase with Amazon.
There is another cheaper Allen Edmonds Men's Combination Cedar Shoe Tree at US$24.83 (S$32.29).
If you see the photos of the Woodlore and Allen Edmonds tree shoes, you can see that the Woodlore has got a round full part at the back (heel part) and 2 metal tubes. So It is more solid than the Allen Edmonds one with more support for the back. But it also means harder to put in and remove from the shoe.

I have also purchased from Tao Bao when I was in China. The cedar shoe tree's wood is good but the metal rod portion is very loose and filmsy. There are also different types of shoes trees in Tao Bao some of which are not cedar wood but some cheapo wood. Tao Bao's shoe trees are very cheap but I think shiping from China to Singapore for such heavy items might not be worth the cost.

Above U$125 can have free shipping from Amazon (for those items which are eligible for Global shipping and sold by Amazon).

I need to get another shoe tree for my AE shoes and I don't mind to add and pool some other bros' orders.
But for those who want me to help order, please see the following conditions. PM me with your orders and phone numbers if you are agreeable:
- Check the size you want and don't ask me on the sizing. Cos I don't want to be responsible if the size I tell you becomes unsuitable when the actual item arrives.
- If you place order with me and decides to back out, please still pay and collect the shoe tree then find other buyer for it. Don't expect me to help to find a buyer to take over your item.
- Collection will only at my convenience as I am not making a profit for this. Either at Novena on weekdays (before 7pm) or Sundays (lunch time) at AMK/Yishun/Bishan
- Items take about 2-3 weeks to ship over to Singapore
