Have you ever seen a Shoe Tree?

No never, in an odd sort of way that looks so beautiful, in a I'm too lazy to get rid my shoes so I'd ditch them in a tree so kids ask stupid questions sort of way.

I haven't seen one, but I've heard of them and seen other pictures

I'm uncertain. My brother says he saw one when we were on our way to our aunt's one time.

not, in person, but I've seen pictures... maybe I've seen this one, I'm not sure.

I didn't even know these existed. Interesting.

No - but I read a book that revolved around one once.

No. However, when I was a teenager I went to a horseback riding camp in Wyoming. On an overnight trail ride, we stopped to camp at a spot with a big, bare, multi-pronged chunk of dead tree in the middle of it. We all stuck our boots on the defoliated branches and called it the Boot Tree. I have a picture somewhere. It's pretty funny.

No, and I hope I never do. Personally, I find it disgusting, and no amount of Pradas and Guccis could make me stomach the sight. It's just wrong.

No, I have not... I would really like to make one now, though.

I saw one only once in my whole life & that was last year on the way to Vegas. But, I hear that they now grow wild in Hawaii.

No but I've seen shoe power lines...

> No, I have not... I would really like to make one now, though.

I'm with you on that, sister.

That reminds me of something I saw my neighbour doing yesterday. He'd been washing his car, and he was rinsing it off using a watering can. I happened to glance out of the window, and couldn't help but laugh, and then that set my Mum off laughing too and we had to go into another room in case he could hear us. I did wonder whether he'd get the last laugh though - but so far there are no signs of any car trees!

Nope.

No, but that's pretty cool!

What book was that?

The Taxi-Driver's Daughter by Julia Darling. I think she was a British author, but I seem to recall the book having a very American feel to it. It wasn't great, but the shoe tree was very central to the plot.

Sounds interesting. Thanks

If you do see one send me a picture!!

Cletus! How could you do that?? And my good pumps, too!

No, but now I want to start one.

Better yet if you see a money tree ..........tell me where it is so I can prune it.

If I see a money tree, it will probably be growing pounds, not dollars!

Good one!!

No never ever ever anything like this before????? What wow how strange

Hi Fealix and Bill merged my accounts into one and I know should have asked him but oh well said and done,
and this shoe tree I have never in my life seen one of these??
I just cannot wake up this morning so sleepy still
after the other night and I have sinus problems again all stuffed up and runny nose
must be the medications I take for this

Argh I have this cramp on my back and can hardly move my head!

I would help you with your cramp if I were there, and no fun having any kind of cramp Fealix
and do you have somebody who can help you

No I'll get over it.

I think I am looking at one right now.....

Other than that, no, but in Nebraska there is a fence with boots stuck on the posts. It's awesome and some of those boots have to be 50+ years old.

FoxTurtle has never seen one, but loves the idea of it, so...

No. Poor tree.
