| Member Since: September 9, 2009 Favorite Golfer: Rickie, Bubba, Phil, Rory Favorite Golf Course: I love em all    | Thursday July 12, 2012 12:58 PM "One half-pint. The human average amounts to one cup of foot sweat per day. " and I am sure for us walkers out there, sweat much more... Having just bought 2 pairs of new shoes... I am wondering if I should spend $40 for 2 shoe trees. It is said, they help dry the shoes but, playing in the rain and such... does it really help that much? I take great care of my shoes but as it stands right now, I have a pair that MUST go in the trunk.Anyone have any thoughts on this?  |

 Member Since: January 18, 2006 Favorite Golfer: Phil Favorite Golf Course: Keystone River Course | Thursday July 12, 2012 2:32 PM Not including athletic shoes, I have about 15 pairs of shoes, and several pairs of golf shoes. I put shoe trees in all of them. (not the athletic shoes). I've been doing this for years. There is no doubt that this keeps my shoes in much better condition. I always purchase a shoe tree when I purchase a new pair of shoes. You don't have to spend $20 per shoe tree. I got several new ones from Bed, Bath, and Beyond for about $14 each. |

YES!!!KEEPS THE SHOE IN GOOD FORM (ESPECIALLY FOR POLISHING) AND CEDAR OR WOOD TREES ARE UNNECESSARY. ANY INEXPENSIVE SHOE TREES ARE BETTER THAN NOTHING AT ALL! LOOK EBAY OR AMAZON. RUDEDOG |

YES!!!"I use them on my golf shoes and especially my dress shoes. I have a pair of Italian leather shoes that are over 30 yrs old (they have been resoled and heeled), also a pair of Stacy Adams bought both pair on sale $80 each back in the day. Two pairs of golf shoes that I alternate, usually respike them once maybe twice, they last 18 months to 2 years sometimes longer. I also spray the inside with a foot spray. > > It is nothing new or original to say that golf is played one stroke at a time.

I take great care of my shoes but as it stands right now, I have a pair that MUST go in the trunk. Anyone have any thoughts on this? ========================================== Definitely, Shaun. Shoe care is a must. I just got 4 shoe trees for my 4 new pairs of FootJoys. (ha ha) Cedars were just on sale for $9.00 each. Check out golflocker.com. $40 for 2 is well,. it's a bit much, I think. . . though it's a good thing that you have'em. . . it's must be quality stuff. Good for you, man. Mink oil is also one thing that I apply almost year round. But the shoe tree will help keep the form and if it's cedar, it will help absorb the moisture. . . your leather, if it is leather, will last longer. One of my DryJoys are about 8 years old and they are just perfectly shaped and feel good like new all the time. . .hmmm . . maybe a few scratches. (he he) The FootJoy Icons are very stylishly formal. . . love those. Contour Casuals are so fun . . like a rough and ready golf. (lol) But I apply to all the same treatment. I have a collection, but not quite like Ian Poulter like. . . ha ha. Let's see a picture of your shoes!

The fun is all about making it better than the last time. So many good people in golf-- just about everywhere I play. The fun is to go out and play with them.

My shoes, if I didn't use a shoe tree tend to curl up more and more as they get older. Good thing I put a shoe tree in them. . . if I didn't and they were pointed toes, it will probably look like an elf's pair on me (lol) It's never the same each round-- even on the same course.
