And I loved it! However, I didn't use it to store the shoes--we used it to hold the lightbulb that my husband smashed during the ceremony. Mazel Tov! I know, not what it was intended for, but special none the less (I had forgotten to get a bag for the purpose, and used what was at hand.) And I think you can read the "Benjamin Adams" embroidery in some of the wedding pictures... My Benjamin Adams wedding shoes were the first pair I’ve ever bought that came with a duster.

These really do work wonderfully! I am a bit of suede shoe fetishist... and they are not too expensive 10 -15$!!!! Too Good!

My feet are short, wide, and ridiculously high-arched. I walk on cubes. Ah well. If only there were shoe trees that could make shoes stretch so that my insanely high arches fit into them.
