Shoe trees for Allen Edmonds
Allen Edmonds started Woodlore in 1987 to make cedar shoe trees for its welted leather shoes. The plant sits across the road from the shoemaker in Port Washington, and its address is 3820 Highway KW. It was given its own name so it could also supply other shoe brands and department stores.
The range later grew to cedar hangers, shoe and clothing racks, closet organizers, pant trolleys, pet products and gifts.
Ozark cedar, milled in Wisconsin
Woodlore says every "Made in the USA" shoe tree it makes starts as Eastern red cedar cut in the Arkansas and Missouri Ozarks. It guarantees at least 80% red heartwood, the part of the tree that holds the aromatic oils and absorbs moisture, and warns that many competitors use imported sapwood. Hardware is brass-plated, and the trees carry a lifetime guarantee against mechanical defect.
The Boss boot tree page says it is made in Woodlore's Port Washington factory. Listings for the men's shoe tree 3-packs, boot trees and Shoepals sneaker crease inserts say made in the USA or made in Wisconsin. The cedar lavender refresher spray gives no origin, and many other product pages don't print one, so check before buying anything outside the core shoe and boot trees.
