re: What type of shoe trees are you using?

It's a set of bespoke shoe trees. You can get them on shoes such as Edward Green if you wanted to spend the extra money over a shoe tree shown in the first picture. Probably overkill but if you're already spending $1000+ on shoes then why not get them.

That is the last for a bespoke shoe - you can see that one has the detail for the brogueing drawn on the toe. Now maybe there are some bespoke shoemakers that give a customer the last to use as a shoe tree, but it would be fairly impractical, as you can see there is not really a mechanism for removing the tree easily from the shoe, not to mention, the next time the customer wanted to commission another pair of shoes, the shoemaker would have to go through the time and expense of making another last (form). Typically the company will keep those at the shop just as a bespoke tailor keeps the form for a suit.

And you are not getting bespoke shoes for $1000 - think more like $4000.
