Has anyone else noticed that shoes can sometimes develop mould when stored away? I’ve found that it happens more often with pairs I don’t wear for a while. Recently, a favorite pair of loafers turned up with some nasty spots, and I’m trying to understand why. Is it primarily the humidity here in Vancouver, or could the materials of the shoes be contributing factors?
I do keep my shoes in a fairly ventilated area, but I’m curious if there are specific signs I should be looking for to prevent this. Are certain types of shoes more susceptible to mould than others? I’d love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have on keeping mould at bay!
