How to Care for Your Shoes So They Last Longer
A little care goes a long way. These easy habits help your shoes keep their shape, colour and shine, whether you wear them every day or only on special occasions.
Let your shoes rest
Try not to wear the same pair two days in a row. Resting your shoes lets them dry out and return to their shape, which makes them last longer.
Clean gently
- Wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wearing.
- For embellished or beaded shoes, dab gently and avoid scrubbing so the details stay in place.
- Never soak your shoes and do not dry them in direct sun or near a heater.
Store them properly
- Keep shoes in a cool, dry place away from damp walls and the kitchen.
- Use a dust bag or the original box if you have one, and stuff the toes with soft paper to keep the shape.
- Store heels upright or side by side so the straps and heels do not bend.
Protect them from water
If you get caught in the rain, wipe your shoes right away and let them dry slowly at room temperature. Keep delicate colours and embellished sandals for dry days.
Small fixes early
If a strap feels loose or a heel tip looks worn, have it repaired by a local cobbler soon. Catching small problems early keeps your shoes safe to wear.
