Storage

There is a lot of humidity and moisture in the air that can affect your shoes. It can cause fungus and ruin the shoes’ quality. A smart way of escaping such an issue is to make sure you store your footwear in a dry place. One can also stuff the shoes in monsoon with newspaper or tissue paper. This will keep your shoes dry and soak in all the moisture.

Cleaning your sneakers

With so much mud on the streets during monsoon, the white soles of your shoes tend to get dirty. To clean them easily and make them white again, you can use toothpaste. Take the toothpaste onto a toothbrush and rub it on the white parts of your shoes like you would normally brush your teeth. After thoroughly brushing through your shoes, wipe the toothpaste off with a damp cloth or a tissue paper. Viola! Your shoes are as good as new.

Stinky shoes

During the rainy season, due to the moisture, your feet tend to get smelly, which is transferred to the footwear. Easy fix for this problem is to put tea bags in your shoes and leave them overnight.
