Have you bought boots that never cease to please? Congratulations! Now it is important to store them properly. Otherwise, the next season could start with serious disappointment. Therefore, we carefully put the pair in a box and leave it for several months. Are there any more boxes left? Do you know how to store boots without it?
How to prepare boots for storage
Leather and suede are the most popular materials from which women's demi-season and warm shoes are made. When storing, it is necessary not only to create conditions suitable for these materials, it is also important to take into account such a feature of the shoes as high tops.
General requirements
- Before storing boots, you should thoroughly clean from dirt, if necessary, repair and dry properly. Do not speed up drying by using heaters or heating devices.
- Clean a leather pair is treated with shoe polish, a suede pair is treated with a special spray.
Important! Don't forget to remove and dry the insoles!
- The place where boots wait for the next season should be dry, ventilated, protected from direct sunlight.
- During storage It is not recommended to wrap the boot tops. Otherwise, the resulting creases will spoil not only the appearance, but also the quality of the material.
- If it is not possible to store the boots in their “original” box, you can choose a suitable one. The main thing is that the couple lies in it freely. And so that you don't have to put any effort into packing your boots or closing the box.
Important! If it is not possible to put boots in a box, they must be stored standing or hanging.
Features of preparing high-top shoes
- The tops require special attention. To prevent them from losing their shape or getting wrinkled over the summer, our grandmothers and mothers used a simple method. They stuffed boots with paper, most often newspaper. This prevented the product from “shrinking”, and also protected the newspapers from moths.
- Instead of paper, you can use a special device - inserts or holders for high tops. They are made of plastic, metal, and can even be inflatable.
- Well, if the holder has not yet been purchased, craftsmen replace it with an object of suitable diameter. For example, a bottle or pipe insulation. The main thing is that the homemade liner penetrates freely, effortlessly, inside the boot, without stretching it.
- A prerequisite for proper storage is using moth repellents.
Proper storage
Now let's figure out how to organize the storage itself.
Where to put
You can leave washed and polished boots standing waiting for the next season. If you have such a place, of course. For example, where you can identify seasonal shoes with high tops:
- Wardrobe. If you have such a room, great! Select a special shelf, and it can be open. Typically, dressing rooms are protected from the sun.
- Wardrobe. Women often fill the empty space under their outerwear with boots. This can be done, but only if the raincoat, coat or sheepskin coat that hangs over the shoes has a shortened style. Otherwise, clothes and shoes will “interfere” with each other.
- Shoe rack with compartment for tall pairs. Shoe manufacturers offer such “shoe racks” or “shoe racks” in different modifications. Recently, fabric shoe cabinets have also become popular.
- In addition to the holders that ensure the stability of the pair, you can use special shelves. They are placed both in dressing rooms and in wardrobes.
How to hang
It's not just clothes that can be stored hanging. This is also useful for high shoes.
For this you will need special hangers.
You can also adapt a regular hanger for trousers or skirts.
In a suspended state, high shoes are stored in the same shelves or cabinets if they have a special rod.
Housewives were also able to hang several pairs, saving space.
As you can see, storing high-top shoes correctly is not so difficult. The main thing is to do this as soon as easier models are used. And the couple, who have helped out more than once, will be waiting for their exit, so that they can please you again.
