I had another shoe tree a little too big for my new pair of shoes, size 43, asking me to put them and remove them with force. I was afraid that they are also a bit too big for size 43-44, but no, they are perfect. The springs are well fit my shoes without me having to force. The smell is always nice. Finally, to top it all, having ordered these shoe trees and shoe horn, I got a special detergent bottle gift shoe in the package. Nothing to say, I know where my next purchase products related to shoes! Again thank you!
