Its a ghetto way to pad out the shoe to keep its shape when the shoe is not being worn...

I'm making an easy and cheap solution so you don't have to buy a lot of these:

I came up with a cheap substitute that works fine. It keeps the shoes dry and in shape. Off course on a superstar the shell toe do most of the work but it's good anyway.

I've never used shoe trees. Don't like the idea of stretching the supes.
Have you copyrighted this idea Poor Sod ?

I've found that using shoe trees stretch out the shoes if left in too long. Better just to wear and rotate more often.
Of course your tinkerer version won't have that problem.

h ha i love this invention well played sir

or you could just keep and re-stuff the paper that originally was inside the shoes when you bought them?
