This shoe tree is in Kalkaska County on US-131 between Mancelona and Kalkaska. I'm not sure when it originated, but it has been collecting shoes for at least eleven years, as there is a pair with a 1995 date on them.

This is my 2nd shoe tree sighting. Folks say that the high school graduates started throwing their shoes there upon graduation. Who knows if this is true?

It's a big hardwood shoe tree. Lots of shoes - some pretty high up. It looks as though some of the shoes have notes tied to them.

There is a large shoe tree right beside US 131 just north of Kalkaska, Michigan on the left side of the road as you are traveling north. It's gotten pretty popular, and I would bet that there are over two hundred pairs of shoes hanging now.
