From the people who make the shoes. Allen Edmonds designs their trees to fit their lasts perfectly. If you own AE shoes, these are the obvious choice.

Woodlore
The affordable cedar tree that works. Woodlore isn't premium-brand fancy, but it's real cedar and maintains shoe shape properly.

Better than nothing, but just barely. Plastic trees maintain shape but miss cedar's moisture and odor benefits. Use these for casual shoes you don't love.

Cedar benefits in a travel-friendly package. Lighter and smaller than full trees, but still absorbs moisture from sweaty travel shoes.

For leather dress shoes, absolutely. For sneakers and casual shoes, optional. Trees make nice shoes last dramatically longer by preventing creases and absorbing sweat.
Cedar for leather shoes—the moisture absorption and antibacterial properties matter. Plastic is fine for casual shoes where you just want shape retention.
Ideally, yes. At minimum, rotate trees between your most-worn dress shoes. Insert immediately after wearing and leave until next wear.
