Nicely, that is fairly embarrassing however I suppose is typically simply the character of enterprise, making errors and studying from them.
As we now have stopped promoting The Shoe Snob equipment and thus wished to rebrand our shoe bushes to our J.F model, we tried a brand new colorway and lighter weight shoe tree, the white model as you possibly can see right here.
I assumed they regarded nice. However there have been some points. They had been exhausting to photograph. The sunshine actually displays. And about half of the inventory, misplaced their ‘whiteness’ and look extra like off-white/beige with the pure wooden end coming by. Each not very best for a long run manufacturing product. The ending merely was lower than par and now left with a bunch of bushes not value full value.
In mild of this, I shortly made two extra samples, as you possibly can see above. I put these three colours to a vote and it could seem that the pink ones are nonetheless the favourite and the black ones not far behind. So I’ve determined to eliminate these white, as I ordered these different two colours, and am doing so by providing them at $20 low cost/pair.
A disclaimer: these are discounted for his or her inferior ending and for the truth that I ordered new ones and have to eliminate these for house availability. The ending is lower than scratch however the high quality of the shoe tree remains to be intact. They’re a nicely constructed, light-weight alderwood tree that can suit your footwear simply as phenomenally as our earlier pink ones, however at almost half of the load.
They provide you about half lb – 1 lb of weight distinction to our authentic Alderwood bushes, thus making them extra sensible for journey and transport.
They’re now priced at $40 per pair which remains to be a heck of a deal for an excellent high quality (albeit poorly completed) product!
