Description Just like the signature lasts that give our footwear its form during the construction process, shoe trees are essential to maintaining a shoe's shape over time and preventing bending and cracking in the uppers. Our styles are made in Wisconsin using sustainably harvested, American hardwood cedar, a material that helps to absorb odors and harmful moisture. Made from aromatic cedar, the two part construction and adjustable width split toe design helps to retain the shape of your shoes. Recommended by most fine shoe manufacturers. Founded in 1922, Allen-Edmonds Shoe Corporation manufactures premium men's footwear, accessories, and cedar products using the philosophy of quality, service and integrity. Taking shoemaking to the level of an art form, each pair of Allen-Edmonds shoes are carefully crafted by hand in a process that includes 212 separate production steps. No detail is too small, because supreme quality is the cornerstone of the Allen-Edmonds name.
