7 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR SHOES LAST LONGER

Thousands and thousands of shoes out there in different materials, some made with different fabrics. Varying in styles, heel height and shoe size. Shoes we have accepted are both man and woman’s best friend and like any other accessory, they have a lifespan. It obviously can’t last forever, but it can last longer. Whichever  your  favorite, we have a special gift for you to help your shoes have a second.., or third chance in life.

Keep reading and see the 7 hacks for making your shoes look younger and last longer.

Store In a Dry Place.



Avoid stale air, dust and humidity. All these and shoes don’t go hand in hand. Store in a cool, dry place and you would wear those shoes till you’re old and grey.

 Don't Use the Washing Machine



For canvas shoes especially, it's easy to toss them in the washer and dryer for a quick cleaning, but that will just wear them out faster. Scrub the shoes by hand instead, and do it immediately so the dirt doesn't start to accumulate to a point of no return.

 Stuff With Newspaper


There are several benefits to stuffing your shoes with newspaper, like alleviating odor, drying them out if they get wet, preventing dry rot, and preserving their shape.

Avoid the rain in Suede.




It’s like stains and cashmere.., It’s NOT allowed. Water and Suede do not go hand in hand.., they hate each other and can never be friends.

Polish and air dry all Leather Shoes.




A little shine never hurts anyone. Take care of those leather shoes and give them a polished shine whenever; keep your shoes looking GORGEOUS as ever.

Protect the Soles


The soles of your shoes are what take the brunt of the daily beating, so it's important to protect them to ensure that your shoes last as long as possible. You can find protectors for all kinds of shoes online.

Invest in Quality From the Get-go



Like anything else you purchase, focusing on quality when you're buying a new pair of shoes will pay off in the long run. Well-constructed shoes can handle much more wear and tear than a cheap pair, and you won't have to keep replacing them so often. The materials used matter, too. Choose shoes made of natural materials like leather or suede here.
