Do your shoes look dirty, scuffed and worn? Whether you’re a hiking enthusiast or an avid runner, it’s easy for your shoes to show some wear and tear. Luckily, there are ways to keep your shoes looking like new no matter how old they are. Reshoevn8r is one of the best products on the market today for bringing your shoes back to life!

Cleaning Dirty Shoes

If your shoes only need a simple spot clean, a Magic Eraser can live up to its name and work magic on your shoes. Wet the magic eraser and rub away any stains. This works especially well on the soles and other hard parts of the shoes.

If your shoes need more of a deep clean, consider using Reshoeven8r, an all-natural shoe-cleaning solution.

Reshoeven8r offers several shoe-cleaning products, but its Patented Sneaker Laundry System includes a shoe cleaner/conditioner, all-purpose brush, laundry bag, and adjustable shoe trees — everything you need to successfully clean your sneakers. The kit is $29.95.

You could also splurge on its Ultimate Sneaker Laundry System for $119.95. This includes shoe cleaner/conditioner, two laundry bags, several brushes, wipes and detergent, among other products.

If you don’t have the budget for its shoe cleaning kits, Reshoeven8r also sells many of its products separately, such as a deodorizer, water and stain repellent and cleaner.

 

Deodorizing Smelly Shoes

If you are active in your shoes, chances are, they will get smelly. If you don’t want to buy shoe deodorizing products like Reshoeven8r’s, there are ways you can deodorize your shoes with everyday home products.

A simple dryer sheet can draw out any moisture in the shoe, like sweat, and also leave your shoe smelling fresh.

If you’re drawn to citrusy scents, you can also leave orange peels in your shoes overnight. Your shoes will smell especially fresh when you put them on.

Tea bags are also an easy at-home shoe deodorizer. Because tea is available in such a variety of flavors, it’s easy to pick a scent that appeals to you, from vanilla and fruit to spearmint and cinnamon. Leave the bag in your shoes for 24 hours, and voila; your shoes smell amazing.

 

Storing Shoes

Your shoes are clean and smell great, and storing them correctly can help them stay that way.

You should store your shoes in cool, dark places, which will help preserve them. You can choose to leave the shoes in the boxes they came in or get a shoe rack or other display case — just don’t store shoes piled carelessly on top of each other.

Fill your shoes with newspaper or other paper, which will help them keep their shape and prevent them from going flat.

When you take your shoes out of storage, they will still look great.

Follow these tips, and people just might ask where you got your new kicks. They don’t have to know you’ve had them for years.
