Before delving into the main theme, have you ever thought about how to care for your favorite pair of kicks? Do you just wear them as much as you like, thinking that’s perfectly fine? But is it really?

Without proper care, your sneakers may risk breaking apart and the materials may deteriorate over time, eventually becoming unwearable. In this article, we will cover some important things to avoid if you want your favorite kicks to last longer.

A waterproof spray not only repels water but also provides a fluorine coating that allows easy removal of dust, moisture, and oil. It can be applied to many materials, except patent leather, making it a versatile tool. A great recommendation is the 420ml Waterproof Spray.

You might have a habit of storing your shoes in their designated shoe box or on a shoe cabinet right after each wear, but this can lead to bad odor and mold in your sneakers. Instead, make it a habit to place a desiccant (Dryers) in each pair or in the four corners of the shoe cabinet.

You may not notice, but placing your shoes at your house entrance can expose them to humidity, UV rays, and contact with other shoes, eventually damaging them in the long run. Besides following the steps mentioned above, make sure there is a proper “storage” space for each pair.
