Shoe trees

[coatsie]

Spotted in Derbyshire - a shoe tree!

Apologies for the photos not being too sharp - it was on a very busy main road, no where to park and a police car looking at us strangely!

This must be a local tradition in Buxton or is it a new out-of-town branch of shoe shop?!

(Apologies in case we have put this in the wrong section!)

Umm... There not gettin much use up there. Unless the tre is gonna walk away.

Reminds me of soemthing you'd see on weird homes, on discovery.

This must be a local tradition in Buxton or is it a new out-of-town branch of shoe shop?! Dunno where it started, but I found several references to this phenom in the US:
