Tips to keep your shoes beautiful for longer

Sandals have been exchanged for ankle boots. You will last longer with your shoes if you take care of them and that does not have to take a lot of time. With these tips you ensure that all your shoes look neat.

1. Make sure you have a basic shoe shine set
Depending on your shoe collection, put together a basic set with which you can maintain your shoes. Think of leather spray, impregnation spray, shoe polish, a suede brush and a soft cloth.

2. Spray your shoes
Treat your new shoes with a spray that is suitable for the material. Repeat this regularly for optimal protection.

3. Replace heels on time
Heels wear out quickly and they are not always of good quality. Have your heels replaced in time, so that you do not damage the shoe. The heels that the shoemaker puts underneath are often sturdier, so you can wear them again for a while.

4. Steam suede shoes
To make your suede shoes look like new again, you can steam them over the kettle. With a suede brush you can gently remove stains and make the material beautiful again.

5. Use boot trees
Keep your boots in shape by putting in boot trees.

6. Do not let wet shoes dry near the heater
If leather dries too quickly, the leather may crack.

7. Some sneakers can be washed
You can put some sneakers in the washing machine at a low temperature. Then let them air dry so that the shoes don't shrink.

8. Maintain your shoes regularly
With regular maintenance, your shoes will last longer. Tip:are you no longer wearing your summer shoes? Take care of them before you put them away.

9. Give your shoes a day of rest
Alternating your shoes will make them last longer.
