How To Extend The Lifespan Of Heels On Men\u2019s Shoes<\/h2>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

From the way you wear your shoes to the way you walk, there are a lot of simple mistakes we make in our day to day. You\u2019d be surprised just how responsible you are for your heels wear and tear pattern. Have a look at some of the heel maintenance tips below and see which ones you\u2019re guilty of absconding.<\/p>\n

a) Using Shoe Horns<\/h3>\n

I know what you\u2019re thinking; what\u2019s a shoe horn got to do with the heel? Well, we all know it\u2019s a thin curved item that helps you ease into your shoes faster and smoother. But did you also know that it prevents you from stressing and stepping on the rear part of your shoe.<\/p>\n

This in turn prevents it from tearing or stretching which would cause irregular walking patterns and hence faster heel wear. It\u2019s a domino effect people. As the POTC would say, part of the crew, part of the ship.<\/p>\n

b) Keep That Rotation<\/h3>\n

We all have that favourite pair of shoes that we wear almost every day. Then, there\u2019s that precious pair for special occasions, only worn two times a year. You know what I\u2019m talking about. Well, it turns out you could be killing both of these pairs in different ways.<\/p>\n

For your favourite pair, it\u2019s death by overuse. Shoes need at least 2-3 days of rest after all day wear. For the precious pair in storage, the conditions could be causing damage to different components. Moisture, heat, or dust could cause irreparable damage. Make sure you store your shoes in ideal conditions and use shoe trees.<\/p>\n
