Shoes going into self-storage should always be clean and completely dry first. Leftover dirt can stain or damage materials over time, while trapped moisture can lead to unwanted odors, mold, or mildew.
Keep each pair protected in its original shoe box or a sturdy container. For shoes that need a little extra support, clean paper or shoe trees can help them hold their shape while they’re stored. More delicate pairs should be kept away from heavy boxes or furniture that could crush or damage them.
A little preparation before storage can make a big difference when it’s time to wear those shoes again.
