Interesting and kinda cool that there are so many different styles of footwear -- and a few other items such as roller blades, skates, a skateboard....

The Chagrin Falls/Bainbridge shoe tree is still there. It's located on Savage Rd.

[Francene Payne, 04/28/2020]

This particular tree has been accumulating shoes for at least 20 years. Unlike most Shoe Trees that have shoes hurled into their branches, this one has shoes nailed to its trunk.

The shoe tree is right along the street, and it was not busy, so we made a u-turn and went back to take a picture.
