Clever shoe storage tips for endless style!
Storing your shoes correctly is the key to keeping your precious treasures looking their best for a long time. In addition to the classic shoe cabinet, special shoe bags, boxes and shelves are also clever solutions.
The right climate for your shoes
Store your shoes in a cool, dry place – neither too damp nor too hot, as heat and moisture can damage the material. Ensure a constant temperature and good ventilation to prolong the life of your shoes.
Caring for leather shoes
The following applies to leather shoes: closed boxes are taboo. If you still want to use a box, choose a breathable model or make sure that the box is not sealed airtight. After wearing, the shoes should be stored on their side so that the soles can dry and “breathe”. Alternatively, you can use cotton shoe bags. Each pair should be stored in its own bag to avoid damage. Storing them on their sides also prevents the formation of pressure points that could negatively affect the fit.
Seasonal storage
If you store your shoes for several months, thorough cleaning in advance is essential. Use suitable care products to protect the material and extend the life of your shoes. Use shoe trees to maintain the shape and help the insole to dry completely. Don’t forget to clean or replace the laces to improve the overall look of your shoes.
Maintaining the shoe cabinet
To avoid moisture and unpleasant odors, you should air the shoe cabinet regularly. Incorrect storage can significantly affect the appearance and durability of your shoes. You can also use natural odor absorbers such as a cedar wood ball to maintain the freshness of your shoe cabinet.
With these tips, you can ensure that your shoes not only look good, but also last a long time!
Shoes packed in style thanks to shoe bags
Shoe bags are the ideal solution for all shoe lovers who have an extensive collection and only rarely take some of their special treasures out of the wardrobe or want to keep seasonal shoes safe for a
while. These practical bags not only offer protection from dust and environmental influences, but also preserve the glamor of your shoes for special occasions. Shoe bags are also an indispensable accessory when traveling.
Tidiness Deluxe: shoe boxes for your shoe collection!
Practical shoe boxes not only bring order to your hallway or bedroom, but are also a stylish solution for giving your favorite shoes their very own place. By using shoe boxes, not only does everything look very tidy, but you also extend the “shoe life” of your stylish companions. Your favorite shoes deserve a permanent, protected place – and shoe boxes are the elegant setting to present them appropriately while preserving their quality and appearance over time. Transparent shoe boxes offer the additional advantage that you can quickly find and select your shoes without having to open all the boxes.
Why shoe trees are the secret to long-lasting shoes!
Shoe trees are shaped pieces that fill the front part of the shoe, stretch the upper and are designed to retain their original shape even after many years. This is particularly important for leather shoes, where the upper is flexible and adapts to the shape of the foot. The elasticity of genuine leather allows a certain amount of deformation over time, which can cause contours or creases to form. Regular use of shoe trees is therefore crucial to restore the original shape. Shoe trees are available in various materials such as wood or cork.
These have a decisive advantage: they absorb moisture and neutralize odours, which speeds up the drying of your shoes. Use shoe trees regularly and immediately after taking them off to maximize the life of your shoes. Make sure that the shoe trees fit well and do not cause any additional tension or deformation.
Care kicks for happy feet: how to keep your shoes in top shape for longer
Regular shoe cleaning plays a crucial role in prolonging the life of your favorite shoes. After wearing your shoes, it is important to give them enough time to air
out to allow them to dry optimally. Start cleaning by removing coarse dirt with a brush or cloth. Make sure that the care product –
be it cream or hard wax paste – is suitable for the specific shoe, as not every product is universally suitable. Do not neglect sole care and the final impregnation. A special brush is particularly advisable for suede shoes so as not to damage the material. Use of the washing machine is only recommended to a limited extent.
Antibacterial and refreshing sprays are particularly suitable for lined winter shoes or summer shoes with bast soles. With this practical helper, you can keep your shoes fresh and rid them of unpleasant odors. Choose a shoe deodorant that also contains caring ingredients to protect the inner material of your shoes.
The secret weapon for your shoes: waterproofing for long-lasting protection!
Thorough impregnation is particularly important before wearing your shoes for the first time. Spray your
new shoes about three times at a distance of approx. 20 cm and then allow the active ingredients to penetrate deeply for 20 minutes. Regular use optimizes the effect,
which means that your shoes will not only last longer, but will also be better protected. Make sure that you carry out waterproofing in a well-ventilated area to minimize health risks.
