Like many people we have a number of different shoes. Some we use very often, some are more seasonal like boots and sandals and some we rarely use such as occasion or wedding wear.
When we do a deep clean of our home, we also clean and clear out our shoe storage. This is when I realised how many of our shoes, especially the ones we don't use all the time, were looking a bit dusty despite being cleaned before they were put away. Also one or two had slight scuffs where they had been packed too close together.
Altogether it all just looked a bit messy and disorganised. Now messy storage always makes me feel a bit unsettled and shoes are expensive, so worth looking after. So I looked into shoe protective covers.
Shoe protector covers or bags are specially designed covers used to shield shoes from dust, moisture, scratches, and other damage, basically a protective barrier.
They can be made of several different materials such as cotton, non-woven fabric, nylon, plastic, silk, flannel, satin or polyester.
These Are The Key Benefits Of Shoe Protector Bags
Protection from Dust. Especially for shoes which are stored for a longer term without wearing. This keeps shoes clean and protected for your next wear.
Water resistant. You can buy shoe protector bags that help protect against high humidity and moisture damage. These are also very good for when travelling.
From a weekend away to a holiday, we usually pack at least a spare pair of shoes or sandals. Packing them in a separate bag keeps the shoes clean. Especially once they have been worn, keeping them separate from your clothes or other luggage.
Protection from Scratches. When you have shoes that may be more delicate, or have cherished memories like your wedding shoes, or for those that have pearls or other adornments it is important to keep them undamaged from being with other shoes or any other items in the same cupboard.
Storage. Protective bags keeps shoes you don't wear very often or special shoes free from dust and dirt in wardrobes, shoe closets or if storing under beds.
Gym goers and sports players can carry sports shoes or swimming pool sandals separate from everything else.
Commuters who want to wear a comfy pair of shoes on the commute to work maybe on public transport, but a smart pair for the office, can easily carry the spare pair cleanly and safely in these bags.
Bags that close around the shoes via a drawstring or a zip help prevent spiders and anything else crawling in to less used shoes !
Choice of Material For Shoe Protector Bags.
Which fabric you choose may depend on the reason you would like them for your shoes. In most households a combination of different fabrics work well.
The choices are usually from a non woven fabric lightweight and breathable, making them ideal for most footwear. Plastic, Nylon or polyester are generally more water resistant making them great for travel, sports and long term storage.
Then there are Cotton or Flannel even Silk and Satin choices which are softer and gentler for delicate shoes or those with fabrics or embellishments.
Prices vary from very inexpensive to a higher cost mainly dependant on the materials and size required.
It is important to make sure that any fabric bags are washable.
Many come with drawstrings and some come with zippers or fold over style. There is a decent choice of colours and some have beautiful patterns. This makes it easier to choose say a different colour shoe bag for each family member or choose colour or pattern dependant on type of shoe.
Overall I feel there is a good choice for our needs. Here is a small selection to give you an idea.

I love now how our shoes all look protected and more organised in their respective shoe protector bags. It makes the shoe cupboard look more together somehow and that feels good.
For most shoes I can fit both pairs into one shoe bag. However if the shoes are larger or a chunky boot for example I simply use one shoe bag per boot.
Also the shoes that I wear more often and keep at the bottom of my wardrobe are much more protected from dust and any damage.
As long as shoes, sandals and boots are put away clean, I can just get them out and wear without having to think about cleaning them first or wondering what condition they are in. I now have a selection I can use for travelling and storage.
For footwear we don't wear often, I am secure in the knowledge that they are protected from dust, damage and moisture.
In addition I am finding a wide variety of other items that will fit into these shoe bags and I can use them to keep other things dust free!
So for a small cost outlay for the shoe protector bags, there are so many long term benefits for your footwear and other items and the joy of a clean, protected, more organised shoe cupboard!
