Saphir's cedar trees hold your shoes in shape while doing something the lacquered versions can't: unfinished aromatic red cedar draws moisture, salts and acid out of the leather and lining, then deodorises as it dries. That's the reason cedar remains the standard for daily-wear shoes stored at home.

Cut from a single block — not glued, as cheaper trees are — with a full rounded last and a spring-loaded split toe that adapts across different shoe shapes. Brass twin-bar fittings and pull ring.

Available in EU 37–46. Saphir trees run generous: order a size below your usual, and two below for women's sizing.
