Effective storage for different types of shoes
Here are some effective shoe storage tips for your shoe collection.
1) Make sure your shoes are clean
Before storing shoes, it is recommended to ensure they are clean. This is because dirt or dust may cause the shoe material to degrade. It is also important to ensure the shoes are dry before storing them. It is important to use the recommended cleaning method for the different types of shoes you have.
2) Sort out your shoes
Since you likely have different shoes for different seasons, sorting and grouping them will ensure you stay organized and keep them in a better condition. If you intend to store your shoes in boxes, then you may want to use clear stackable shoe boxes, which makes it easier to locate a pair.
3) Store shoes in an ideal environment
For shoes to last longer, they need to be stored in a cool and dark space. It is important to ensure that the shoe storage space is not stuffy or experiences extreme warmth or cold temperatures. This is because extreme conditions can weaken shoe fabrics or cause the glue holding it together to loosen. If you do not intend to wear your shoes for a long time, you may want to keep them in shoe boxes. You should also not wrap them in plastic since they could end up discolored or moldy.
4) Stuff your shoes with acid-free paper
If you do not intend to wear your shoes for a long period of time, it is advisable to stuff them with acid-free paper so they retain their shape. You may also want to consider investing in boot stands to keep your boots in perfect condition. You may also want to store your boots in an upright position to prevent them from flopping over and taking up unnecessary shoe storage space.
5) Invest in a shoe organizer
A plastic or wooden shoe rack will help you in organizing and grouping your shoes. If you are low on space, you may want to consider door hanging shoe bags. They help by keeping your shoes off the floor and also do not take up much space. You should avoid storing shoes on top of each other since this results in shoes losing shape over time. If you are not storing your shoes for a long time, you may want to opt for an open shoe rack so as to allow air to circulate.
