How to Clean Shoes

Take a look at your shoes scattered about on the floor or stored in neat rows in your closet. If you're like most of us, there are lots of different materials, finishes, and colors. The days of every shoe being black or brown leather are gone.

But how do you keep them looking good and lasting a bit longer? With just a few supplies and some easy steps, you can clean every type of shoe, even slippers.

Here are the correct ways to clean shoes made of all types of materials.

Imagine buying a new pair of kicks only to have them get dirty after less than a week of wear. Annoying, right? But how on earth are you supposed to enjoy your sneakers and keep them looking fresh at the same time? Aside from treating them like collectibles and keeping them in a pressure-controlled vault, there’s really only one solution: Regular and intensive maintenance.

If you want to graffiti your shoes, do it. Own who you are. But if you want them looking pristine, this is how you keep 'em clean. Cause taking care of your shoes, whether they're a brand-new drop or your favorite everyday pair will help them hold their look or perform longer.
