Many girls have multiple pairs of shoes, and it is more troublesome to take care of them. Keep winter shoes well in summer, and the same is true in winter. How to keep it for a long time so as not to get moldy or damaged? Today, the editor will share some tips to teach you the correct maintenance and collection methods, which will help extend the life of the shoes.
Shoes Maintenance and Collection Method
1. Wear frequently
If you have multiple pairs of shoes at the same time, make sure to take out each pair of shoes regularly. Because shoes are left for a long time, problems such as degumming and cracking on the upper are prone to occur.
2. Shoes also require "off days". Shoes worn frequently will absorb sweat and get rain. If the shoes do not have a "rest day", they cannot dry thoroughly and they will break quickly.
The editor recommends: Don’t go around the world with a pair of shoes. It is best to wear them for a day of "rest" every two or three days. It is best to wear two or three pairs of work shoes with high usage rates.
After wearing the shoes, they should be placed in a ventilated place and air-dry them. After one or two hours, the shoe cabinet should be retracted to prevent moisture and odor.
3. Leather shoes should not be dried when wet, the rainy season will come. If you encounter rainy days when wearing leather shoes, you should press the upper and excess moisture in the shoes with a dry cloth as soon as possible after returning home. Then, insert newspaper or toilet paper into the shoe to absorb water and fix the shoe shape and change it continuously until the moisture is completely sucked dry. Finally, put the shoes in a ventilated and cool place and air-dry them.
But do not use a hair dryer, dryer, or put leather shoes directly under the sun to expose them to the sun to avoid damage to the leather.
4. Regularly use waterproof spray to prevent moisture
shoes will "reduce life" when they encounter moisture. It is recommended to use waterproof spray regularly to protect leather shoes. Some waterproof sprays can be used in leather, canvas, suede and other uppers.
5. Different leathers use different detergents
The editor recommends: only use leather-specific stain remover to clean leather shoes.
Leather shoe cleaners have different properties, such as gel, foam, spray, liquid, paste. Before using a care product, you need to know whether it will affect the color of the leather, especially light-colored shoes. Some maintenance solutions will be provided with soft-bristled shoe brushes or fabrics, and can achieve twice the result with half the effort when used together.
6. Shoes also need to "moisturize"
Like skin, leather shoes also need to be moisturized. Continuously using leather-specific care products to care for leather shoes can improve the brightness and softness of the leather and reduce the probability of dryness and cracking. After maintaining the shoes with shoe polish, shoe cream and shoe protection spray, it is best to put the shoes in a ventilated place and then store them.
However, the maintenance methods of glossy, patent leather, matte leather and suede are different. The editor recommends: When buying shoes, ask the store for the correct maintenance method, and then use special products for cleaning and maintenance.
The editor’s advice: When polishing leather shoes, mix a little diluted vinegar into the extruded shoe polish, which will be better.

2. How to choose a shoe cabinet
There are several main types of common shoe cabinets on the market. One is a drawer-type shoe cabinet, which usually has two to three layers, with steel wires as isolation in each layer, and can hold more than twenty pairs of camel shoes. One is a door-style shoe cabinet, which is commonly found in four-door and three-door, and there is usually a place to put an umbrella. Another type is that the appearance looks like a drawer, but it does not need to be dragged out and put on the shoes. Just pull it a little and you can see the shoes in the entire cabinet. The beauty is that it has two sliders to control it. The shoe cabinet has five floors, as tall as a wardrobe, and only one floor is small, like a bedside table. For example, there is a small shoe cabinet in the bedroom, which is small and exquisite, and is designed with the bed and looks very coordinated. The shoe cabinet is usually placed on one side of the door, which is also the eye-catching place in the living room, so it is not careless.
3. Leather Shoe Maintenance
1) Light and matte cowhide maintenance:
is best worn above 10 degrees Celsius, so that the coating is not easy to crack. It is best to use white or colorless shoe cream for surface care, especially if it is not oily brightener, otherwise the coating will fall off.
2) Snake pattern cowhide care:
can be treated with shoe milk or water-based brightener. Do not use oil-based brightener to prevent hardening.
3) Maintenance of butter leather and color-changing oily skin:
When wearing it, you should pay attention to waterproofing and stain-proofing. It is recommended to use leather clothing or sofa cleaner to take care of it.
4) Maintenance of patterned sheepskin and plaid sheepskin shoes:
Do not use brighteners when taking care of them, and better colorless high-end shoe creams are used. However, the amount of shoe milk should not be used too much, and the application should be even. After treatment, the complexion of the skin will be slightly darker, but after the shoe milk evaporates, it will basically return to the same as before. If the color becomes slightly darker, it is normal.
5) Maintenance of flat patent leather and wrinkled patent leather:
The surface dust can be gently wiped with a clean damp cloth (it is better not to drip), or can be treated with leather cleaner or cleaning paste, but it cannot be treated with brightener or shoe milk. Brightener will cause false coating to fall off, and the shoe breast will wrinkle the upper. It is best to wear the patent leather above 10 degrees Celsius..
6) Maintenance of water-dyed skin and waxed skin:
Water-dyed skin and waxed skin are uncoated leather materials that are easy to absorb moisture and stains. Pay attention to water stains or other stains when selling. Use shoe breasts to take care of them when wearing them. Avoid getting wet from rain. When not wearing them, wipe away dust to keep the upper bright and prevent mold.
7) Maintenance of dark flower sheepskin:
The care of dark flower sheepskin is relatively simple, just use better shoe milk and shoe cream.
