Finding a comfortable and long-lasting pair of office
shoes is just not enough. To prosper over the investment you have made on your
office shoes, providing utmost care from falling objects, water, mud etc. is
vital.
Today, the shoes we wear really matters! And
this is so true with working professionals who are obliged to set high
standards at work in terms performance and looks. Out of the wide range of work
shoes available in the market, you buy a pair that you consider to be
outstanding in comfort and style. But the life span of the work shoes depends
on your shoe-maintenance skills.
Common
Types of Work Shoes
Work shoes include leather, faux leather
shoes, formal shoes, canvas and also at times boots depending on the nature of
the work. These shoes are meant for wearing daily and they need to last long.
Leather shoes are the most common type of work
shoes that are being worn to works like office jobs, and majority of service
jobs. Very few outdoor works involve the usage of boots that can last long in
all climatic conditions.
Work
Shoes Care
Since leather shoes are the mainstream work
shoes, to make them look as new as you have just brought for a longer period,
follow the below given instructions:
1.
Sweating – This is the primary problem
men face with their work shoes. Drying the shoes after removing the soles for
the whole night can only help you get rid of sweat-related shoe problems.
2.
Falling Objects – Prevent the shoes from
falling objects at work. Be it a fluid or a
solid substance, dropping harm causing objects like paperweight, coffee,
objects with sharp edges etc. will also lessen the life of leather shoes so try
to avoid them as much as possible.
3.
Polish Everyday – Polishing shoes daily
is one way of maintaining its new look. Polishing involves cleaning of shoes
too. So use a good wax polish to your work shoes daily.
4.
Shoe Horn – Use a shoe horn whenever you
wear the shoes. This will protect the back of your shoes from damages and
unwanted folds that will become torn edges in a long run.
5.
Shoe Tree –Place the shoes in a tree
whenever it is not in use. Shoe trees will help prevent the shape of your shoes
for a longer while.
Apart from the above listed guidelines,
using soft bristle shoe brushes, saddle soap to clean the shoes and caring the
out soles of your shoes from damages caused due to rough surfaces will also
increase the life of your work shoes.
