Photo by Tomas Lundahl on Unsplash Boots are beautiful! Boots make you feel beautiful!! But when they are not properly taken care of ... not so much. I often work in closets and I don’t like to see nice or expensive boots, especially leather or suede ones all crumpled up at the bottom of a closet but oftentimes people throw away the original box so they have no place to store them and needless to say... like a drunk.. they don't stand up by themselves ;-) Lately I keep seeing Boot Shapers advertised everywhere, maybe because we are moving into the cooler season. There is no shortage of choices in regard to type, budget, colors; they even have inflatable ones! If that is the route you chose to go I would just stay away from the extra cheap ones especially from sketchy overseas sites, you might not even be able to return them. Personally I have never bought or suggested one. I would keep the box especially for those you use infrequently but it’s your choice. The reason I don’t believe in purchasing these it’s because there is no need to waste your hard earned money and add to our plastic consumption. When you buy boots they come in a box that you can use to store them flat and stack the boxes, especially during warm seasons. Perfect fit! They also have cardboard inserts in the leg portion which is usually folded to fit perfectly to the boot and help it to retain its shape, even if you keep your boots at the bottom of your closet standing up under coats, or clothes by KEEPING the original inserts they will be supported and will not fold sideways. Best thing is they are FREE! Why spend money to replace something you already have? If you have already discarded all that, there are other options that won’t break the bank.
Give it a try, this way you will save money and save the environment from yet MORE plastic!! |
