Poor Sod's Cheap Shoetree - Poor Sod - 06-03-10

I came up with a cheap substitute for expensive shoetrees and like to share my little invention with you:


1. You need some old socks that you don't need anymore and some newpapers


2. Crumble up the newspaper


3. Stuff the newpaper in the sock and shape it so it fits in your shoe


4. Tie a knot to keep the shape and leave the "tail" empty


5. Press the “Poor Sods Cheap Shoetree” into the shoe and shape it further to fit properly. Use the “tail” to pull it out!

Well yeah I did that before, but it's a mess with all the crumbled paper and hard to pull out the pieces from the toe. With my solution you just pull the "tail" out. Yeah like a tampon.

Interesting idea PS. I have to say though that none of my pairs have any shoe trees or padding in them and I havn't noticed any adverse effects...

Not really sure what you're trying to do? Shoe trees don't look anything like that and don't work like that either.
