If there’s one thing Baxter & Black recommend to care for your shoes, it’s a pair of Trimly Cedar Boot Trees. They’re more than a tool, they’re a ritual of refinement. Made from premium aromatic American red cedar, they draw out moisture, banish odour and keep bacteria at bay. The result is simple yet essential: boots that stay dry, fresh, crease-free and ready for the next wear. Over time, the cedar’s natural oils help the leather breathe, keeping it stay supple and well-shaped.
Each pair of boot trees is sculpted to follow the natural contours of your boots. The split-toe design adjusts smoothly to support the forefoot, while the spring-loaded shaft maintains tension through the vamp and heel. This combination prevents deep creases, smooths the leather, and preserves the original silhouette. Slip them in after a long day, and they get to work immediately, absorbing excess moisture and restoring form while you rest.
At Baxter & Black, we admire thoughtful craftsmanship and precision, and the boot trees embody both. They’re elegant in appearance, functional in design, and timeless in purpose. The warm cedar scent adds a touch of natural luxury while helping deter insects and bacteria. For anyone serious about their footwear, these are non-negotiable.
These cedar boot trees suit premium Goodyear welted and hand-lasted boots from brands such as Red Wing, Viberg, Tricker’s, Crockett & Jones, Alden, Loake, Grenson and Church’s. We especially recommend boot trees for RM Williams boots because they minimise creasing and help avoid leather splitting which we see numerous times a day. They’re perfect for boots with structure and presence, where maintaining shape matters as much as style. Whether it’s a refined Chelsea or a rugged work boot, they ensure each pair rests properly, stays balanced, and ages gracefully.
Boot trees extend lifespan, enhance comfort, and maintain that freshly polished look between wears. Every pair demonstrates that caring for your boots is not just maintenance, it’s respect for the craft. We have sourced this Melbourne-based brand of shoe trees to be an affordable option. We highly recommend coming in store to try them in your shoes because the boot tree sizes rarely are the same size as the boot.
