| 8 Ways To Make Shoes Last Longer - SavingAdvice.com Posted: 16 May 2010 08:32 AM PDT  If you have kids, chances are good that at some point you have been heard to say "Untie your shoelaces before your take off your shoes! Perhaps you have said it emphatically, even loudly, in the hope that your uncaring children might acknowledge your demands and actually comply with them. Perhaps, like me, you have given up… Although we might chastise our kids for not caring for their things, including their footwear, I am increasingly realizing that I have not been caring for my footwear nearly as well as I might. Perhaps you are abusing your sneakers and shoes, too, without even realizing it. Of course, wear and tear is to be expected, but there are several things that we can do to make sure that our footwear lasts as long as possible. Here are a few suggestions: Use a Shoe Horn: You are probably familiar with the process of putting on footwear without the aid of a shoe horn. Your toes enter the shoe and slide about three-quarters of the way to the toe of the shoe and then stop. You then begin to pivot your foot back and forth while applying pressure with your heel to the back of your shoe. Over time, this pivoting will cause the back of your shoe to break. Whether you are wearing sneakers or dress shoes or something in between, the use of shoe horn will save the back of your shoes for a long, long time. Use Heel Savers: Heel and sole savers are available in the shoe care section of your grocery store. You can also purchase them and have them applied in a cobbler's shop. They are small pieces of hard plastic that can be nailed into the sole or heel of a shoe (but not sneakers) in order to stop the sole or heel from wearing down. We all have different pressure patterns when our feet hit the ground. Heel saves ensure that the spots that get the most pressure will not erode. Use Shoe Trees: Always store your dress shoes with shoe trees inside them. Shoe trees will help to preserve the shape of your shoes and good quality cedar shoe trees will help to keep them from smelling like old shoes. Wear Socks with your Sneakers: Sweat is the enemy. Never put on your sneakers if you are not wearing socks. Foot sweat contributes a great deal to the destruction of inner soles. As an added incentive, socks will help you to avoid calluses. Keep Shoes Away from Pets: Maybe it goes without saying, but dogs like to chew on things. Shoes left unattended become chew toys very quickly. When you remove your shoes, put them away in a secure closet or wherever you store your shoes. Just make sure that they are kept well out of reach of Fido. Waterproof Boots and Other Shoes that will be Worn in the Rain or Snow: Apply a waterproofing spray to any footwear that will or could become wet. Keeping water out of your footwear helps to ensure a longer life for your footwear. Buy Rubbers: When I was much younger, everyone owned rubbers (no, not that kind — we are talking about shoes) that could be worn over work shoes. They kept the rain and snow out of shoes when people were heading to work. They have fallen out of fashion but remain just as useful. Clean Your Shoes: Built up dirt on a shoe will hasten its demise. Keep your footwear clean and you will be able to enjoy it longer. How do you keep your sneakers and shoes useful for as long as possible? What care tips have you learned? How long do you think a shoe should last? Five Filters featured article: The Art of Looking Prime Ministerial - The 2010 UK General Election.

With the cost of clothes, shoes, and toys nobody likes to buy these things more than once. Save money and time by labeling family belongings with fun custom character images on durable vinyl name stickers, ID labels, bag tags, and personalized name labels. Children go to so many different school and social functions that involve groups of kids together with so many items that are the same size, color, and brand. Many kids of the same age have many of the same toys, sports equipment, backpacks, shoes, cell phones, etc. Identifying their belongings with durable waterproof vinyl kids labels can help prevent any mix up or misunderstanding about what belongs to which child. With fun look-alike characters and cool background designs kids don't seem to lose their stuff as often. Kids personalized stickers come in so many colorful designs it's easy to find images that they are excited about. Personalize children's school name labels, shoe stickers, and sippy cups with zoo animals, dinosaurs, butterflies, cool vehicles or a cartoon look-a-like image of themselves. These bright colorful caricature images help kids recognize their school supplies and bring them home from pre-school or day care. FriendlyStickers.com has created laminated vinyl stickers with the ultimate in durability to help families keep track of their belongings under the toughest circumstances such as pool water, seawater, ground dirt, ice & snow and these stickers are tough enough for the dishwasher or even the microwave. Create labels with fun colorful cartoon faces with hair and skin color that resemble each boy or girl. With many children in a larger family sometimes a little help is needed identifying each kids shirts and shoes and the simple solution for that is to ID kids clothing with iron on clothing labels and use shoe stickers for all those little feet. Taking children from daycare, school, play dates or any of the many places that children gather ID labels can sure become a big help especially when other people are responsible for identifying lunch boxes, shoes, allergy sensitivities and sippy cups. Friendly Stickers is a division of Family Labels that created this new product line of durable, waterproof, laminated stickers and bag tags to help provide identification stickers in hopes that the stuff that left the house would actually return home. These stickers have been put to the test with kids at camp, school and playing on the beach with sunlight and water and have been proven to be tough.
