Verdict · checked Nov 1, 2026
Mostly yes
Woodlore was launched in 1987 as a division of Allen Edmonds, and it says its "manufacturing facility is located just across the road" in Port Washington, Wisconsin. The company says "Every 'Made in the USA' shoe tree Woodlore makes originates from sustainably grown Eastern red cedar trees - cut from the Arkansas and Missouri Ozarks." Its Boss boot tree page says "Made in Woodlore's factory in Port Washington, Wisconsin." Its Amazon listings say "Made in USA" for the men's shoe tree packs, "Made in the USA" for the boot tree, and "Made in Wisconsin, USA" for the Shoepals inserts.
| Product line | Made in | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Men's cedar shoe trees (full, combination) | Port Washington, WI | Made in USA |
| Cedar boot trees | Port Washington, WI | Made in USA |
| Shoepals cedar sneaker inserts | Wisconsin | Made in USA |
| Cedar lavender refresher spray | Not stated | Origin not stated |
The exception is the accessories: the Amazon listing for its cedar lavender spray doesn't state an origin. The core cedar shoe and boot trees are US-made, but we couldn't confirm every item Woodlore sells.

About Woodlore
Woodlore makes Eastern red cedar shoe trees, boot trees and sneaker inserts in Port Washington, Wisconsin, across the road from Allen Edmonds, which launched it in 1987.
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.
