Anyone use shoe forms(I think that's what they are called) to keep your shoes from getting smashed while they are in your bag? If you do, where'd you get them. I'm trying to online shop for some and not having very good luck.

I saw some very nice ones at the Value Village yesterday (purple tag day, when everything with a purple tag costs a dollar, regardless of original price). I doubt they're available on-line, though.

I tried Wally World today...no luck.

My shoes came with them.

Don't use them :cool:

When all else fails try EBAY. :) They have them at ebay.

My shoes don't get smashed in my bag because I pack my barbells, cement blocks and bowling ball separately. :p

tj....

most walgreens, osco drugs, k-mart, wal-mart, target, retail shoe stores carry metal, plastic or wooden models in all price ranges. i've always called them "shoe trees"....don't know why, but when i mention them....people seem to know what i'm refering to...:confused:

Then you either didn't look in the right place or that Wal-Mart was out of business :)

You might try asking a Finish Line for some of their shoe forms. I doubt they would say yes, you would need a really nice manager, but the worst they can say is no.

iamref,
You nailed it. That's what they are called! Thanks.

If you get cedar shoe trees, they will help draw the moisture from your shoes. I've seen them in Marshall's and TJ Maxx before. I'm guessing those are national chains.

jdpeo Thu Feb 10, 2005 08:52am

wooden cedar shoe trees at Wal-Mart a little over $5.00 - wooden ones are best because they absorb moisture!!!

pac my bowling ball seperate - that's a good one!!!

Shoe Trees
 
I have been using wooden cedar shoe trees in both pairs of shoes for a couple of years. They work great, especially when you have multiple games within a couple of days, I alternate between 2-pairs of shoes, and when you put them on they're not cold and damp. Keeps them from getting smashed in the bag as well.
