How to store sneakers at home?
Storing sneakers at home doesn't have to be complicated. You just need a little organization to apply to your daily routines and some practical tips.
Here are some key strategies that, if followed, will help you extend the life of your favorite sneakers. But if you are starting out in this world, learn how to start your sneaker collection in this previous post.
Use transparent storage boxes
Storing your sneakers in clear storage boxes is a great way to keep them protected from dust and light. But not only that, but you will also have control over each model at all times.
By leaving the interior visible, you can choose the sneaker you are going to wear every day without having to open each box . As if that were not enough, you will optimize storage, saving more in less space.
Make sure they are clean and dry
Before storing your sneakers, it is very important that you remove any trace of water, dust or mud . Moisture can cause mold and bad odors, and traces of dirt eventually damage the materials.
To carry out a deep cleaning that does not damage the shoe, use a soft brush and a specific product (such as those you can find in our stores), and let them dry in the open air before storing them. If you get into the habit of doing it every time you get home, this will never be a problem.
We told you how to clean sneakers correctly in a previous post. Check it out.
Use lasts so they don't lose their shape
Shoe lasts, one of the traditional tools most used by shoemakers, are essential to maintain the shape of your sneakers when you are not wearing them.
You may not know what they are, but we are talking about small plastic pieces that go inside the shoe and help prevent them from becoming deformed . A very efficient practice to avoid losing the structure that you like so much.
Store them in the right place
Although it is usually something that is not paid attention to, the place where you store your sneakers is very important to keep them in perfect condition.
Extreme temperatures are very harmful, and end up affecting the manufacturing materials. Also make sure that they are not directly exposed to the sun, since, in this case, the colors will be affected.
Take advantage of shelves and shelves
Installing shelves and shelves in your closet will help you improve organization and have a place specifically designated for your sneakers.
Place them in a row, in order of use or by color, to have a clear and accessible view of your entire placement.
Label the boxes
If you are one of those sneaker fans who prefer to keep them in their original boxes, we recommend that you label them . Write down the model, make, and color on the outside of the box.
This way, you can quickly identify the contents without having to open several boxes , saving time and maintaining order. If you want to go further, you can stick a sticker with the photo of each shoe so you don't have any doubts.
Rotate your sneakers regularly
Even if you have a model that you love, if you want to prolong its useful life, we recommend that you do not use it every day. It seems obvious, but it is a trend that happens more than you imagine.
Use different sneakers depending on the occasion and the weather, and avoid wearing the same pair constantly. This allows the shoes to air out and regain their shape between uses.
Consider a dehumidifier
Finally, if you live in an area with high humidity or your home conditions are not dry enough, a dehumidifier may be perfect for you.
This device helps keep the air dry and prevents the formation of mold and stains on your shoes. It's as simple as installing it in the room where you keep them and starting it up. The results will not take long to arrive.
As you can see, with small habits you can store your sneakers at home efficiently , to increase their useful life and keep your collection looking new for many years.
