1. Clean & Air Out Shoes Before Storing
Always allow shoes to fully dry after wearing, especially sneakers, boots or leather styles. Wipe off dirt, remove moisture and let them breathe before putting them away — this prevents odours and bacteria build-up.
2. Choose the Right Storage Unit for Each Shoe Type
Different shoes need different environments. Here are the best storage options available at Habitura:
Shoe Bench with Storage
A shoe bench is perfect for entryways — combining seating with hidden compartments for daily footwear. Great for quick access while keeping the area tidy.
Tall Shoe Cabinet with Drawers
Ideal for families or shoe collectors, tall cabinets store many pairs without taking up much floor space. Flip drawers keep dust out and maintain freshness.
Large Multi-Drawer Shoe Cabinet

For bigger households or serious shoe lovers, a multi-drawer cabinet offers maximum capacity with a clean, modern design. Each drawer keeps pairs separate, organised and dust-free.
Open Shoe Racks for Maximum Airflow
Open racks are perfect for sneakers, running shoes and moisture-prone footwear. Because there’s no enclosure, airflow prevents odours and helps shoes dry naturally.

3. Don’t Stack Shoes on Top of Each Other
Stacking shoes can crush their shape and cause lasting creases. Cabinets and racks with separate compartments protect each pair — especially important for leather and formal shoes.
4. Maintain Airflow
Proper ventilation keeps shoes smelling fresh. Open racks or cabinets with rear vents, like many Habitura models, help prevent moisture build-up.
5. Avoid Sunlight & Heat
Keep shoes away from sunlight, heaters or dryers — heat can crack leather, fade colours and weaken glue.
6. Rotate Shoes Seasonally
Store seasonal shoes like boots or sandals in the lower or upper drawers, keeping your everyday shoes easily accessible.
7. Use Deodorisers or Shoe Trees
To enhance freshness, use:
- Cedar shoe trees to keep shape
- Deodorising pouches
- Moisture-absorbing silica gel packs
