If you got yourself some nice leather dress shoes as a holiday gift, now is the time to start protecting them to make sure they last. The first step in this process is getting some cedar shoe trees like these from Woodlore. The cedar is aromatic, meaning it will soak up your foot stink, and the adjustable toe ensures a prefect fit into your new dress shoes. These tree will help reduce toe creases, and avoid any crumbling when packed in an over-stuffed suitcase. This $25 investment is low cost-high reward in that it will keep your shoes in prime shape for years, allowing you to spend the future shoe-replacement money on something else, like a suit jacket or chinos to wear with those new shoes.

Available on EastDane.com for $25
