You can make your shoes last months after you buy them by taking steps to preserve them. It takes a while, but it’s worth it. There are shoes made of different materials that require different care, but they look like you bought them the day before and help you wear them longer. There are a few household supplies that you can use and some products that you need to purchase. I’ve seen YouTube videos of people making potions, as I like to call them, when they mix many ingredients to create the same solution an item might already have in the store. I don’t like this because it’s very time consuming and may not work as well as the products offered on a store shelf. White shoes are the hardest to keep clean in my opinion for obvious reasons and there are times when the weather can be inclement and you shouldn’t be wearing them, but there are also products to help keep them clean. There are also products that prevent your shoes from wrinkling where your foot naturally bends forward.
Let’s start with how you can help conserve before you even wear the shoe. You can buy shoe trees so that the shoe keeps its shape and does not lose its shape over time when you are not wearing it. You can easily find these cheap online or go to a shoe store. I also found them at IKEA. I also like to keep shoeboxes, but some people throw them away and put them in clear plastic containers. This helps keep them clean and dust-free, and you can easily see where the pair of shoes is instead of in a box if you don’t remember the name of the shoe. When buying a shoe, especially one with leather material, at the register or in the store, they usually have ForceFields. ForceFields prevent wrinkles where your foot bends forward. These help tremendously as leather shoes tend to wrinkle much more easily than other materials over time. These take up some space in the shoe so I would suggest going maybe half a size up so you don’t feel uncomfortable walking with extra padding on your shoe. I know this from experience because I made the mistake of buying my normal shoe size and putting in the ForceFields and walking even a few steps was uncomfortable. I had to loosen the laces and it still wasn’t enough to be comfortable.
In addition, you should also consider buying a soft brush and a hard brush for different materials. Materials like PrimeKnit on the Adidas NMD need a soft brush because the texture is extremely delicate and you can ruin it if you use a hard brush. Another problem you can run into when you have a sweaty foot is that the shoe might start to smell a little funny. So it’s important to buy shoes that help your foot breathe, but there are ways to keep the smell from getting into your shoes. You can start by taking out the soles and putting a scent on them. You can also find such a product in the shoe store. This is important because you don’t want to be walking around with your shoes smelling like the locker room. Additionally, you can protect your shoes when you know you’re going to be walking on dirt or in the rain by purchasing the Crep Shoe Cleaner. This helps any material by repelling liquids and helps prevent stains on your shoes as it is an invisible coating. Again, they usually have these in store when you buy your shoes. They work great with soft, delicate material as they require the most maintenance as anything gets them dirty. Another product that can help keep your shoes clean is Jason Markk’s Shoe Cleaner. It’s a liquid solution that you put in a bowl of water and stir until combined. You then dip the brush into the solution and as soon as you start brushing the shoe, a white foam will appear that will help clean the shoe. This was the first cleaner I bought for my shoes and I have bought it again and again because it has helped save a lot of my sneakers. As well as storage, you should protect the shoes from sunlight and if you don’t want to leave them in the box or plastic containers, make sure they have enough space to breathe. Insufficient space between shoes will cause them to lose their shape as I mentioned and you will have to spend more money to restore them in the future. So why not start over? In addition, you should clean your shoes after wearing them and not wait until they are extremely dirty to clean them. A light cleaning before you put them away can also do a lot to extend their lifespan. If you wait until they are completely soiled, there may already be stains that have penetrated deep into the material and are difficult or impossible to remove.
All of the products I mentioned cost no more than $10 and will help you last your shoes a lot longer. On the other hand, you can also make these solutions at home, but be careful as they may not work as well. Before going this route, watch YouTube videos of how other people have used them, how they did it, and how their shoes came out. All of these steps will help you extend the life of your shoes and keep them looking in tip-top shape.
