Some people buy a pair of very expensive shoes with high quality. Though they are very good, you still do not know why after a short period of time, they break down and you cannot use them anymore. If it is not a problem of quality, you have to think of the way you should have taken care of your shoes. It must be that you do not know how to do that or probably you do it in a wrong way. This article is going to help you with this issue.
First of all, if you are wearing leather shoes, never put it in a high humid place. If you put plastic in a high humid place, they will be ok. However, for leather mould would develop right away when you put them there just for two or three days. So, make sure you have a high place for those leather shoes. If you cannot find a good and dry place in your house, you can dry your leather shoes when once in a while to make sure mould does not have a place there.
Secondly, you have to buy different shoes for different purposes. If you are running, buy running shoes. Running shoes can be used for other purposes. However, if you use your work shoes to run, they will wear out very quickly. Or your high heel shoes will break down very easily if you wear them for a walk. Also, different shoes give you an alternative choice to wear shoes. If you keep wearing a pair of shoes every day, they will break down sooner. Your shoes are also like a human being, it needs to take a rest between the wearing times. So, let's say you have a pair of shoes for running, 2 pairs of shoes for going out and two pairs of shoes for work. The total is that you should have at least five pairs of shoes, which will last for long and you do not need to buy the new ones.
Always wear socks or leggings when you wear shoes. For some kinds of shoes, you do not need to wear socks or some people like fashion and do not want to wear socks when they wear shoes. However, the sweat and moist from your toes and feet will reduce the years of life of shoes. Moreover, they will create bad smell for shoes. Bad smell does not damage the shoes. However, it makes shoes ugly and you do not want to wear them again. Also, bad smell attracts insects and they will damage your shoes.
One more thing which many people may do wrong is that you should never leave your used socks in your shoes. Some people develop a habit of leaving your used socks in your shoes. It may prevent the smell or make your house look cleaner. However, it will make your shoes dirty and smell bad. It is also a chance for mould to develop quickly in your shoes.
