How to Prepare Winter Shoes for Storage: Helpful Tips
High-quality winter footwear can last more than one season if you take care of it and look after it.
Therefore, in addition to treating shoes and boots with cream and other protective agents in a timely manner, you need to learn how to properly store shoes in the off-season.
We'll tell you how to do it correctly.
1. Shoes need to be washed and cleaned, then dried and, if necessary, immediately taken to a repair shop so that winter doesn’t catch you off guard.
2. During drying, you need to take out the insoles and use shoe trees or other filler so that the boots can retain their shape, as well as special inserts for high-top boots.
3. Boots with natural fur need to be protected from moths.
4. Shoes can be stored in boxes or containers, and if there are none, then in cabinets or cupboards, but so that they are not exposed to sunlight, and also away from heating devices.
5. If you have to store shoes in a common container, it is better to place each pair in a cloth bag.
6. Also, when using a plastic container, make sure to provide additional ventilation and be sure to place silica gel inside.
If you don’t have silica gel on hand, table salt will do; you can pour it into bags or old socks.
