How often should you clean your shoes?

Podiatrists say that keeping your shoes clean is essential for maintaining foot health and prolonging the life of your footwear. Regular cleaning can prevent dirt buildup, bacteria growth, and unwanted odour.

It's recommended to clean your shoes every two weeks. This routine helps eliminate any dirt, sweat, or bacteria that may accumulate inside. Also, using shoe inserts can help absorb moisture and keep your shoes fresher for longer. Replacing these inserts regularly ensures a more hygienic environment for your feet.

More tips to keep your shoes fresh

If you wear the same pair of shoes every day, they’ll wear out faster and start to smell. Switching between pairs gives each shoe a chance to breathe and keep its shape. A quick spritz of disinfectant spray after every wear can help kill bacteria and keep things smelling fresh.

Don’t forget to spot-clean your shoes every day too! Just grab a damp cloth and wipe down the outside, making sure to clean the insoles and soles as well. Your shoes will thank you, and so will your feet!
