i was pretty underwhelmed with the sequoias as well. Was too faded black for me, like a shoe left out in the sun too long.

@vinotwofour hit the nail right on the head. What he said applies especially towards the heel of the shoe.

dude really put wooden shoe trees in his racers? I give up. Insert Jerry Seinfeld GIF. What's the point?
Thats like using a rubber with the wife.
I use wooden shoe trees on my Bruno Maglis, but racers? We talking about racers? Not a dress shoe. Racers?

Longtime lurker here (lost my old account info from 200, just to chime in on this shoe tree thing. Seems like most of you guys are in on the whole IKEA shoe tree joke (as in, they don't do **** for any shoes), but let me bluntly drive home the point for you guys.
The two main reasons to use shoe trees are to one, maintain the shape of the shoe and two, absorb fluids and odors (namely sweat) usually with some sort of fragrant and porous wood like cedar. Most people use it in their more expensive leather shoes.
However, that's why it's so damn stupid to see the IKEA shoe trees in any flyknits. For one, IKEA shoe trees do nothing to absorb fluids and odors because that **** is made out of plastic and metal. Two, it will not maintain the shape of any shoe. From here, it only more ridiculous since shoe trees in flyknits are an inherently bad idea. I don't care if you're using $50 shoe trees from Alden or $100 3-point adjustable shoe trees. Unless you're using a XXXXXS small shoe tree, that **** will stretch out your knits.

If YOU like the IKEA shoe tree's that is all that matters. Doesn't matter what other people say.
You make two valid points. Both reasons summarize the misuse of a shoe tree or not using a shoe tree for the right intentions.

The following is based on my opinion. Speaking of misuse, I think a similar topic would be the "misuse" of an actual shoe. I saw a post a while back saying they're RUNNING shoes. I think at the time there are many things which can be used in different and many ways. Which for some may seem as if they are being used incorrectly. For example running shoes. They're main purpose is obviously to run in them. A lot of people use them for other reasons as well. It's not that they're using them incorrectly, but instead because they can be used in many manners some more useful than others. At the end of they day if people want to use a shoe tree to get more likes, then let them be. If they think it helps the shoe, then let them be. If they just like the way it looks, then let them be.
