Caring for Your Shoes: Tips to Keep Your Favourite Pairs Looking New

Every woman has a favourite pair of shoes—whether it’s stylish heels, comfy sneakers, or elegant boots. To keep them looking fresh and long-lasting, proper shoe care is essential. Follow these simple tips to maintain your footwear and extend its lifespan.

1. Clean Your Shoes Regularly

Different materials require different cleaning methods:

• Leather shoes – Wipe with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner to prevent cracking.
• Suede shoes – Use a suede brush to remove dirt and avoid water exposure.
• Sneakers & fabric shoes – Spot-clean with mild soap and water or toss them in the washing machine if applicable.

2. Protect Your Shoes from Damage

• Apply waterproof spray on suede, leather, or fabric shoes to prevent stains.
• Use shoe polish to restore shine to leather footwear.
• Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

3. Store Your Shoes Properly

• Use shoe trees or stuff them with tissue paper to maintain their shape.
• Keep them in a dust bag or box to protect from dust and scratches.
• Avoid stacking shoes to prevent creases and deformations.

4. Rotate Your Shoes

Wearing the same shoes daily can wear them out quickly. Rotate between different pairs to give them time to breathe and recover.

5. Repair & Maintain

• Replace worn-out soles and heels at a shoe repair shop.
• Fix loose stitching or broken straps before they get worse.
