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.

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

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...

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.

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.

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

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.
