How to Use Your Cedar Boot Trees:

Using cedar boot trees properly helps maintain the shape of your boots, absorb moisture, reduce creasing and keep leather healthy over time.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Wear Your Boots First
   Wear your boots as normal - the leather warms and slightly expands during use. This helps the boot tree fit better when you insert it.

2. Insert After Wearing
   As soon as you take your boots off - ideally within a short time - gently place the boot tree inside. Make sure it sits all the way to the toe with the heel block snug against the back.

3. Ensure a Snug Fit
   The spring-loaded design will apply light, even pressure. The fit should feel supportive without forcing the leather apart.

4. Let Them Rest
   Leave the boot trees in overnight or between wears. Cedar naturally absorbs moisture and helps leather dry back into its original shape rather than creasing or shrinking.

5. Remove Before Wearing
   Take the boot trees out before you put your boots on again. This keeps the pressure gentle and ensures maximum comfort when you’re wearing them.

Why Use Cedar Boot Trees?

• Preserves Shape: Helps prevent deep wrinkles and keeps the boot silhouette consistent.

• Moisture Control: Cedar wood absorbs sweat and humidity that can damage leather over time.

• Reduces Odour: Natural cedar scent helps freshen boots and deter bacteria.

• Better Leather Health: Regular use between wears slows ageing and maintains durability.
