When shoes are worn, the weight of someone is pressing on them, and the air in the rubber sole will be pushed out, which can to some extent weaken the oxidation effect.
For shoes that need to be stored in cabinets and cannot be worn for a while, the focus of maintenance should be on moisture, mold, and deformation prevention. Before storage, it should be brushed clean and dried. It is best to use padding to support the inside of the shoes to avoid deformation, and it is best to use the original shoe support; For those without shoe support, white paper or newspaper can be used, which should have a certain degree of water absorption and the texture should not be too soft, otherwise it will not provide support.
