Tips for taking care of shoes:

Airing: leaving them to air for a while before storing them in the shoe rack is a good practice.

Clean superficially: by brushing or wiping your shoes, you will prevent dirt and even bacteria from accumulating. With a small brush, clean the dirt accumulated on the soles and, with a sponge or cloth, clean the uppers.

Use absorbent paper: Store your shoes with a sheet of newspaper or absorbent paper inside overnight to eliminate bad smells and humidity.

Wash with bicarbonate: at least once a month, it is advisable to wash your shoes with bicarbonate of soda or alcohol. Also use deodorants and shoe polishes frequently. This will help keep unpleasant odors at bay.
