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? [Jacob Krejci, 04/08/2009]
Shoe Tree Shoe Tree of Highland Park. [Jennifer Harrison, 10/27/2004]
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. [Lisa, 08/22/2004]
