These do seem a little small, but not much.  I'm in between sizes and usually size up with Woodlore, so any size difference probably didn't affect me as much, but they don't seem that much different.  I do have nicer split-toe shoe trees, but these are good for the price.  My biggest gripe is that one seems a little shorter/looser, but it may just be the spring, or even my shoes.  It still gets the job done and I'll probably order more.
