We all know that function is important, but this is a designer shoe blog, after all.
We recently rounded up some of the most functional boot inserts to keep your boots from slouching, so now it’s time to get a little more creative with some fun picks that serve the same purpose.
These fluffy, functional and totally adorable boot shapers are a great way to bring some cute childhood nostalgia into your footwear wardrobe.
Just check out the creative boot trees from shoe care brand Bootniks that turn the classic teddy bear and stuffed bunny into our favorite shoe accessories of the year!
1. Bear Boot Trees, $49.95 at Amazon
The Bootniks’ Boot Saver collection includes the brand’s best-selling Bears line, which features a bear head attached to furry prongs that insert into the boots.
The collection consists of five bear colors: buttercream, black, honey, smokey gray, and polar white.
The bears are named Logan, Maxwell, Harrison, Oliver, and Charlotte respectively.
Each bear comes with an adorable winter scarf around its neck.
Bootniks offers affordable, quality made, whimsical products that protect your investment by extending the life of your boots
2. Bunny Boot Shapers, $29.95 at Amazon
Just in case you’re not the biggest teddy bear fan, Bootniks also has a bunny line.
This fluffy line consists of critters in black, buttercream, white, blush pink, and gray.
The bunnies are respectively named Hadley, Willow, Chloe, Madison, and Marni.
Each adorable shoe bunny comes with a ribbon around its neck.
The stuffed shoe trees are manufactured by the Vermont Teddy Bear Company, which has been known for its craftsmanship and history in toy making.
These boot shapers are polyester-filled and covered in 100 percent acrylic fur, and can fit boots seven- to 16-inches tall.
3. Decorative Plush Fabric Boot Trees, $24.99 at Amazon
While this product is not from Bootniks, we figured it was worth including anyway.
Shoe care brand My Boot Trees went for simple, functional, and fun by turning elongated pillows into boot shapers. Genius.
Just like Bootniks, My Boot Trees didn’t hold back on the variety of designs available. In fact, the brand offers a dizzying array of polka dot, chevron, and checkered prints available in a multitude of colors.
These 100 percent cotton products are manufactured in the United States and even come with adorable tags so you can personalize each pair.
My Boot Trees also offers a lifetime guarantee, which promises to replace each worn-out pair for the rest of your life — provided there’s no deliberate damage. Pretty nifty.
4. Boot Shaper Form Inserts, $13.99 at Amazon
Available in black and white, these boot shapers easily insert into your boot to protect your favorite shoes. They are very sturdy but soft enough to shape.
5. Hangable Boot Shaper Form Inserts, $11.46 at Amazon
These versatile boot shaper inserts fit any size and style of boot to reduce cracking and sagging.
We also love the handy loop that lets boots hang on boot trees for space-saving storage.
Mix and match the pillow, teddy bear, and bunny boot shapers to add color and print to your closet. Shoe storage will never be the same again.
