So you make your summer shoes suitable for winter
The temperatures come suspiciously close to the zero point, the clothes layers are getting thicker and the beautiful summer things are increasingly hanging in the closet. That this is not absolutely necessary and how you can combine your summer parts in the winter, we have already betrayed you. But what about the summer shoes? Can we confidently moth our light-weight sneakers or thin-cloth shoes from October to Easter?
So you make your shoes winter proof
Whether you pick your chucks or pick other shoes? You can easily protect them from moisture by using a cheap and straightforward method. Grab a tealight. But beware! Choose the wax color in the color of your shoes, otherwise there are unsightly stains and the shoes are ruined? because we do not want the candle to the wick but to the wax!
That is to be done
If the oven is set to a low temperature, place the tealight on the middle tray on the baking tray and wait 5-10 minutes. Once the candle is as soft as your palm (not liquid), you can take the inside of the candle out of the aluminum holder and gently rub it over the fabric surface. We advise against using a lighter to warm up the wax as soot particles form and so unpleasant streaks can remain on the shoes. The wax protects the absorbent fibers and even allows the moisture to bead off the shoe.
Open shoes
The wax knit is a way to prevent the ingress of water in fabric shoes. But what to do when the shoes are open? Say: Sandals, Loafers & Co.? There is a very simple method here, but it takes some courage: socks! Correctly read. You can just wear your loafers with colorful statement socks. You can also wear sandals on winter days. But here are not the flat models. The "Sandals in Winter" look is preferable to implement with platform heel, since socks, although not protected from the cold, but not from moisture.
