I have no idea where and when it originated from,but we've seen several of them and i packed up a bag full of old shoes,loaded them in the trunk of the old Dodge with my hammer and nails and took the family out to one and let the kids go at it.They loved it and they always ask to go back to see the tree.I guess it's called making fond memories for my kids.#14: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Aug 1, 2011 [SPOILER]

In case people didn't know... shoes over a telephone wire means that's a drug free area. :)#17: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Aug 3, 2011
didn't know that,i would of thought just the opposite.If a druggy moves into the area who has to go take the shoes off the telephone wire.lol.#18: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Aug 3, 2011
I've never seen or heard of this before, but I like it. Maybe I should start one.#19: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Aug 4, 2011
Brian do it,put a few pairs on,it doesn't matter what they are,i've seen boots,sandals,all types of shoes,and even slippers.Check now and then and be amazed at how many have been added.#20: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Aug 4, 2011
The trick is finding the right location.#21: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Aug 4, 2011
Brian we see them mostly on rural routes out in the countryside.I'm not sure if you can do it in the city,but why not all the city would do is take them down.#22: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Aug 9, 2013
There's a bra tree in Flagstaff, AZ#23: Ruby Hammer (rubyqhammer) on Aug 9, 2013
Does the shoe trees mean anything?#24: BRASH ATAOM (BRASHatAOM) on Feb 20, 2023
I had heard long ago that pairs of sneakers tied together and tossed over power/phone wires was a memorial for a murdered kid, presumably the one whose shoes were tossed. A later explanation, especially when there were several pairs, it was kids throwing their own shoes over the wires at the end of the school year....
