Packing shoes by pair and season
Packing shoes involves matching pairs and separating soles from delicate surfaces. Identify the pairs you will need immediately after arrival.
Before you start
Clean and dry shoes according to their care instructions. Group sports, everyday and occasion footwear, keeping soles apart from clothing.
Practical steps
- Keep each pair together with a shared box or label.
- Support their shape appropriately instead of squeezing them tightly.
- Keep a pair for the first week in your luggage or an accessible essentials box.
Checks on arrival
Count pairs when unpacking. If damp or odours are noticeable, plan suitable care rather than leaving the shoes sealed for an extended period.
