shoe tree

It is a funky roadside stop. This shoe tree is located just outside Paris on Green Lane. What is it exactly? It’s a dead tree that is covered in shoes.

it was started by Brantford women several years ago. The phenomenon of nailing shoes to trees is a bit of a mystery. Get out and snap a photo.
