Here are a few tips on how to go don your organising hat:
Storing:
Storage is an issue especially in metros where space is restricted. You could organise your shoes based on the following:
- Colour
- Style (heels and flats or formals and casuals)
If you keep shoes in their original boxes, label them, or better yet, stick a photo to the box for easy identification.
Weather:
During monsoons to avoid moulds on leather shoes, you could place a silica gel sachet along with the shoes in a box. These sachets absorb all the moist from the air and keep the fungus at bay.
Care:
Avoid your patent leather shoes from getting wet. Clean them with a soft cloth and a solution of vinegar and water. This also prevents cracking. Pure leather can be conditioned with coconut oil.
Organise your closet based on the type of shoes.
Clean your leather shoes with a soft cloth and coconut oil to keep them shining like new.
