Pump shoes sometimes lose its shape if you store it away for too long. One of the tricks I’ve learned in helping to maintain the shape of the front part is to stuff it with something. I usually use the soft tissue clothing that came with the shoes upon purchase, and fold it into triangle. Before storing the shoes, I would insert the stuffing to maintain the shape before stowing away. Avoid using old newspaper. The ink gets transferred into the shoe. I also leave the silica gel packets on the shoe box. I also scatter the silica gel beads on my shoe cabinet. Lastly, I would take my shoes out of the cabinet or the box just to give them some air, and wipe them with clean cloth to get the dirt off.
What are your tips in maintaining your shoe collection looking fabulous?
First of all, i LOVE snake skin pumps.. great model shoes for this article.
as a shoe fetish, i love suede and snake skin pumps, or ballet flats, it would upgrade your outfit instantly.
But the thing is, when we have those kind of shoes with that kinds of fabric/materials, they tend to be stained or defected easily. so i always keep those shoes in their boxes, and inside the boxes, i put shoe papers (one that you’ll find in each time you buy shoes, like in the image for stuffing the shoes) for not only stuffing the inside, but also for covering each shoes on the outside. I prefer to wrap the shoes with my used cloth material (which is soft, so it wouldn’t hurt the suede or snake skin material).
Also i always put my shoes out from its boxes after i used it or once a week so it breathes some air for a day. Or else, the shoes will torn apart, if you forgot to use it while you always use the “Heroes” (shoes that always be your BFF’s and wear it regularly) shoes everyday/weekend.
Hope it become useful additional tips for the FDers and readers,
Cheers..
