Highland Park, Illinois - Shoe Tree - Vague Recollections I grew up literally 4 blocks from the Highland Park Shoe Tree. This shoe tree is at Berkeley Rd. and Ridge Rd., on Ridge Rd. I was born in 1969 and have been seeing this tree for as long as I can remember! What an oddball thing, but crazy, kooky, and something we always noticed! What's more, we'd always notice when there were new shoes in the tree!

Highland Park, Illinois - Shoe Tree I was salivating over some of the sweet looking shoe trees on roadsideamerica.com and I was seriously dying to add to one. Unfortunately, I could not find one near me. I was psyched when I saw that there was one in Highland Park, IL, which we would be passing through. Armed with my step-dad's dress shoes we finally hunted it down. Sadly, there was probably only half a dozen pairs on the tree. Still, I added my step-dad's shoes. After all, don't these shoe trees need our shoes the most?

Highland Park, Illinois - Shoe Tree This
shoe tree has been there all my life (1963) and was still there when I moved from the area in 1996. Anyone who went to high school around Highland Park or Deerfield or even Highwood would know of the shoe tree, although it is not on a really busy road.
