Tips for Maintaining Footwear During Monsoon to Prevent Odour and DamagePreviousNext

Monsoon conditions of rain and humidity create challenges for footwear, promoting dampness, odours, and material damage. Experts recommend drying shoes thoroughly, rotating pairs to allow airing, and maintaining foot hygiene to prevent fungal growth and odours. Different materials require specific care: leather needs gentle cleaning and conditioning to avoid cracking, while sneakers and sandals benefit from proper drying and protection from mud. Using baking soda and moisture-wicking socks can also help keep shoes fresh during the rainy season.
