Shoes : An essential part of your wardrobe


A man is judged in the first impression by the way he looks, and looks mean everything, from the way you look physically, to your clothes, to the way you walk, and one of the most important, yet most ignored factors, shoes. Yes, it’s true, while there is a famous quotation signifying the importance of shoes, many of us rarely pay any attention to the fact that they are an important part of our personality, and instead go for preferring to give importance to our clothes more than the former, which often leads to embarrassing situations. For instance, if your clothes are of the latest fashion, but your shoes are either worn out or not up to date with your attire, you might as well be dressed in casuals, since the overall impression has been spoilt. Following are few tips to manage and care for your shoes in a better manner :

  • Always regularly keep polishing your shoes, even when you are not using them regularly (and more so at that), since the leather tends to either lose its shine or gather fungus if it is unused for a long time.
  • Keep your shoes properly stacked in a shoe rack, or preferably in a shoe organizer, in order to preserve long life and make sure they do not gather dust by placing them one over the other.
  • If possible, try to use all the shoes in your rack at least once in two weeks to ensure they stay fresh and get sufficient amount of air.
  • In case you have just taken the shoes out from the shoe box (fresh when you have purchased them, make sure that you give them sufficient air before you begin using them. This also applies to shoes you haven’t worn in a long time. Leaving them out in the open, preferably in the sun, resists any chance of fungus growing in them and also relieves them of any kind of smell.
  • If your feet are smelling, make sure you wear socks every time you use your shoes.
  • In case of ladies shoes, which often consist of a high number of heel-bearing footwear, it is all the more essential to have a well spaced out rack, and particularly the longer heels be placed vertically so as to keep the heels in perfect shape everyday.
So there you have it, these are a handful of tips you need to follow to maintain your footwear. While most of them might seem very simple to follow, the most important thing is to remember to do that regularly.
