Carl Virk, director of the brand Carlton London, shares some shoe care trends for this summer to maintain the quality of your shoes.

* Keep your shoes away from direct sunlight: Material like leather fades faster when kept in direct sunlight which can lead to drying and cracking of the shoes. You should store your leather footwear in darker places with a moderate temperature.

* Water is not your shoes’ friend: Water ruins footwear, especially leather footwear. Contacts with water should be avoided to maintain the good condition of your shoes.

* Don’t store shoes in plastic bags: It is advised against keeping shoes (particularly leather) in plastic bags as it restricts the ventilation of the material. Exposure to air for your shoes is important, for them to breath. It is suggested to keep in bags that are made of fabrics like nylon which protect the shoes from moisture and also provide enough ventilation.

* Use Cedar shoe tree: Shoe tree helps in maintaining the shape, reduce creases and soak in excess moisture and odour. Using a shoe tree increases the lifespan of your shoes.

* Avoid keeping socks in shoes: When the socks are kept inside the shoes, they leave a pungent smell which leads to bad odour and degrades the shoe quality.

* Rotate your shoes: Leather shoes have a tendency to soak water from your feet, so that they need time to dry up naturally. Wearing the same will not allow the shoes to dry up naturally.

* Cleaning and Maintenance: You should clean, polish and condition your shoes regularly with high quality cleansers and sprays to increase its lifespan.

* Protective soles: Adding a rubber sole protector adds life to your shoes. Rubber top soles protect the outer soul from tearing. It could be water resistant as well.

* Use shoe horn: To protect your heel collar, always use a shoe horn when putting on your shoes.
