Affordable Dress Shoes

Imagine have just been invited for your friend’s wedding. You search for your old tuxedo. Still looks brand new. You let out a sigh of relief. Then you find your dress shoes, and you groan. It already looks like you did some construction work wearing it despite how much you try to clean your shoes. It is for this reason why surprisingly, men tend to spend more on shoes than women. While women would mix and match their loafers, sandals and stilettos depending on the occasion, men would often end up buying a new pair of men’s dress shoes for each and every occasion that they attend. Taking care of your dress shoes is extremely easy and does not need to cost a whole lot.

The next time that you have a special occasion and you have taken off your dress shoes, do not stick it into your cabinet immediately. Instead, keep it in a dry place, preferably where the sun will be able to shine on it in the morning. Even if you do not have sweaty feet, there will still be some moisture that would have accumulated on the shoe lining both inside and outside shoe especially if the special occasions are held on a rainy day or during the winter months. Although your dress shoes may appear dry, in reality the leather has already absorbed a lot of moisture. Keeping this in a dark place would allow fungus and mold to eventually ruin your expensive dress shoes. By allowing the shoes to dry completely under the sunlight, any microscopic traces of the mold and fungus will be dried out as well, allowing you to continue using your shoes for longer periods of time.

Another way to lengthen the life of your shoe is to regularly clean them and apply shoe shiner on them even if you do not plan on using it for that day. The shiner would also serve as a protective coating on your shoes’ leather from dust and moisture in the air. Doing this would allow the luster of your dress shoes to last longer. Not to mention it would save you the time of cleaning your shoes when you need to finally use it.

Finally, do not be afraid to spend a couple extra dollars when you buy your dress shoes. Many men’s dress shoes that are sold at a seemingly reasonable price are often made with synthetic leather which is cheaper then genuine leather. Unfortunately, synthetic leather is not as durable as genuine leather. However, since genuine leather does not come with a cheap price tag, it should not come as a surprise to you that these dress shoes are more expensive. Make sure that you are investing on genuine leather shoes like the special Gravity Defyer shoes. Normally while buying leather products you are advised to take a quick whiff before buying the shoes. While it may sound ridiculous, it is often the first tell-tale sign of genuine leather as authentic leather releases a distinct odor which is commonly not found among products that are made out of synthetic leather; but you can buy reliable shoes with springs from the online shoe store at www.gravitydefyer.com without having to take whiff!
