3 Use a shoe horn: Using a shoe horn is the best procedure while getting into a quality shoe as it saves the heel collar, the top part of the heel from breaking down.

4 Keep shoes dry: The best way to dry a pair of wet shoes after wearing is to let them air dry at room temperature. A dryer should never be used for this purpose as it will cause them to dry out and become stiff.

5 Regular maintenance is important: Every now and then some preventive maintenance is required for shoes. With their regular use, the soles of the shoes get holes in them, or their heels wear down. So, it is important to visit a good cobbler for repair work.
