Nice image shawn. Can you do a series. Is there a boot version of each tree type? Boot tree in every state, County, city? I saw one with Tennis Shoes, I'm trying to remember where.

There's a shoe tree just north of Shaniko, Oregon. Mostly tennis shoes.

Thanks, fellows!

I got a rather perplexed look and a few questions from a police officer while exposing this.... luckily it was another cop who told me about it in the first place and was able to drop his name. It is located in an area of the municipality that's between the maintenance garage and the river. I suppose they don't want the local paper doing a story on their messy tradition! =)

Nice capture & print Shawn!
Gotta love shoe trees.... I mean, boot trees. I wonder where the 1st shoe tree was? Seems every town has one....two or three.
