Dealing with Mouldy Shoes: Solutions and Storage Tips

I recently found some mould on a few pairs of my favorite shoes while sorting through my wardrobe, and I’m curious about what might be causing it. I thought I had everything organized properly, but clearly, there’s something I need to address. It’s a bummer because I enjoy mixing and matching different styles, and mouldy shoes are definitely not part of that vision!

From my research, it seems mould thrives in damp, dark spaces, which might explain the issue in my closet. I’ve read that using breathable storage options instead of airtight boxes can help, and ensuring good airflow in the closet is crucial. Also, silica gel packets are supposed to be effective at absorbing excess moisture.
