Shoe trees in climbing boots?

[Dr_Crash]

Any reason to do it? Have never done that but since I'm getting some for some fancy shoes, wonder whether the climbing boots deserve similar TLC.

don't do it. it's not necessary, and there's something just wrong about the image. bang the mud off them when you get home, store in a cool, dry place. clean and reapply your waterproofing of choice twice a year if you climb a lot. that's it.

I wish I'd put them in my first pair of Zamberlans. While not exactly 'climbing' boots, I did smash the toe box enough while kicking steps the first season I wore them to kill my toenails a couple of times the next season before I figured out what the problem was.
