Read full description

Shoetree is a simple care journal for your leather shoes. Register each pair with the details that matter — brand, leather type, color, construction, and more — then log every wear, cleaning, and repair as it happens. Over time, Shoetree builds a full history and timeline for each shoe, so you always know when it was last cared for and what it needs next. FEATURES • Register your shoes with photos and details (design, leather type, color, construction method, sole, and more) • Log wear, care, and repair events with photos and notes • See a full history and timeline for every shoe • Set custom care reminders (e.g. "apply cream every 10 wears," "check the heel every 90 days") and get gentle notifications when it's time • Track repair costs and total wear count • Archive shoes you've parted with, keeping their history intact • Sign in with Apple, Google, or start right away with no account at all Whether you own one pair or a growing collection, Shoetree helps you build the habit of caring for your leather shoes — so they last for years. Free to use for up to 3 shoes. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited shoes.
