If you are wondering why your shoes are wearing out quickly, it is most likely because you are wearing them day in and day out.<\/p><p>Here are 7 tips to ensure their longevity:<\/p><ol type=\"1\"><li>Allow your shoes time to rest between each wearing \u2013 at least 36 to 48 hours for a couple of reasons. (Yes, I know guys! It means having more than one pair). First of all, as your feet get hot during wearing, the leather of your shoes warms up and stretches. The resting period will allow the leather to cool off and return to its normal shape. Second, by wearing a different pair of shoes everyday, you are allowing the sore spots on your feet to heal and your feet will thank you for it.<\/li><\/ol><ol start=\"2\" type=\"1\"><li>Always use cedar shoetrees to store your shoes. This will help your shoes retain their shape and smell better.<\/li><\/ol><ol start=\"3\" type=\"1\"><li>Clean and polish your shoes regularly ~ it shows that you take time, trouble and pride in your appearance and communicates the impression that you are someone who pays attention to details.<\/li><\/ol><ol start=\"4\" type=\"1\"><li>The best time to polish is immediately after wearing while the leather is warm. It will absorb polish better.<\/li><\/ol><ol start=\"5\" type=\"1\"><li>Keep your shoes in good conditions at all times ~ Replace damaged heels and soles right away.\u00a0 You may look at yourself from the front but others see you from behind \u2026 what kind of impressions or messages do you leave \u201cbehind\u201d?<\/li><\/ol><ol start=\"6\" type=\"1\"><li>Use a stiff toothbrush to brush suede shoes ~ do not use the wire brush often sold for cleaning suede. They are too sharp and will damage the nap of the suede, thus reducing its life.<\/li><\/ol><p>If your shoes get wet \u2026 never dry them in direct heat. Simply stuff them with newspaper and allow them to dry in their own time, at room temperature.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e7ae2ba cat_block elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-4776 elementor-widget-post-info\" data-id=\"e7ae2ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"post-info.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-inline-items elementor-icon-list-items elementor-post-info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item elementor-repeater-item-9cfa520 elementor-inline-item\" itemprop=\"about\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text elementor-post-info__item elementor-post-info__item--type-terms\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-post-info__terms-list\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/imageliteinternational.com\/category\/accessorizing\/\" class=\"elementor-post-info__terms-list-item\">Accessorizing<\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cbcfdf tag_block elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-4779 elementor-widget-post-info\" data-id=\"1cbcfdf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"post-info.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-inline-items elementor-icon-list-items elementor-post-info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item elementor-repeater-item-20298fe elementor-inline-item\" itemprop=\"about\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text elementor-post-info__item elementor-post-info__item--type-terms\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-post-info__item-prefix\">Tags : <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-post-info__terms-list\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/imageliteinternational.com\/tag\/brush-suede-shoes\/\" class=\"elementor-post-info__terms-list-item\">brush suede shoes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/imageliteinternational.com\/tag\/cedar-shoetrees\/\" class=\"elementor-post-info__terms-list-item\">cedar shoetrees<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/imageliteinternational.com\/tag\/polish-shoes\/\" class=\"elementor-post-info__terms-list-item\">polish shoes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/imageliteinternational.com\/tag\/replace-damaged-heels\/\" class=\"elementor-post-info__terms-list-item\">replace damaged heels<\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3269531 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3269531\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-be7e272\" data-id=\"be7e272\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a1fc905 elementor-post-navigation-borders-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-6100 elementor-widget-post-navigation\" data-id=\"a1fc905\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"post-navigation.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__prev elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/imageliteinternational.com\/shoe-options-men-in-business\/\" rel=\"prev\"><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--label\">\u2190 Previous<\/span><\/span><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__next elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/imageliteinternational.com\/wear-sandals-to-work-or-not\/\" rel=\"next\"><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__next\"><span class=\"post-navigation__next--label\">Next  \u2192<\/span><\/span><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caring And Maintaining Your Shoes In Tip-Top Shape Good quality shoes can last for years provided they are cared for properly.
