Shoe trees: How to insert

There is a bit of a technique but it’s quite simple to master. I’m using the Pierre Corthay Bucy to demonstrate

If the shoes are oxfords or derby’s make sure they’re unlaced, monk straps should be unbuckled. 

Hold the tree at a 45º angle with the outside edge of the tree facing down.

Insert the tree as far as it will go.

Then from the heel push it in the rest of the way.

Next simply push down on the back and you’re in.
