Shoe Care Keep these simple tips in mind to protect the look and comfort of your shoes and extend their life.

* Keep your shoes away from moisture. Moisture can cause bacterial growth in your shoes, which can be a reason for them to break down easily.
* Avoid wearing the same shoes every day. Give a shoe at least 24 hours to rest and dry.
* Protect your shoes from dust. Excess dust causes the natural shoe color to fade and look old. Polish/clean your shoes regularly to prolong their life.
* Keep your shoes out of direct sunlight. Excessive heat or sunlight can rot or even harden your shoes, causing them to break apart.
* Never wash your shoes in the washing machine unless it says otherwise on the label.
* To clean your shoes, follow the procedure according to the material, but in general, a shoe brush and a damp clean cloth may be preferred.
* Shoes should be stored in environments with air circulation when not in use. That's why plastic or even thick cardboard shoe boxes are never good for them. Opt for bags or covers made of breathable fabric to store your shoes.
* Regularly polishing your shoes will help them last longer and maintain their shine and texture.
* You can rejuvenate them with suitable shoe creams to preserve the breathing structure of the genuine leather material. However, you should pay attention to apply the shoe cream to dry shoes with a brush or a soft cloth and leave it overnight before wearing it again to allow the cream to settle well.
* White shoes, especially sneakers, are a style icon that both men and women love. But the white color can easily get dirty and stained. Therefore, they need more care. When you need to clean them, you can use a clean magic eraser dipped in diluted dish soap to remove the stains.
* Avoid using leather sole shoes in wet weather and floors.
* The care of shoes shaped with suede and nubuck materials is more sensitive and should be done with special materials such as brushes and erasers. In addition, the application of silicone-based protective spray before the first use is strongly recommended by experts.
* You should not neglect to use shoehorn when necessary, and you should definitely wear and remove your lace-up shoes after loosening the laces.
