6 Tips on Packing Your Shoes for Your Move

Now that your big move is knocking on the door, you must be all prepared. You have your plan ready, right?

And by now, you must have also contacted the best movers in Chicago so that your move is a convenient and smooth one. What? Everything is set but you have no clue how to pack your shoes? Is the collection extremely extensive? Then I would ask you to pack them on your own. This way, you will have full control over what you pack and what you don’t.

Without blabbering any further, let me share a few tips with you all. Take a look.

Get rid of the ones that you don’t need

No, do not make that face! I know that you own a lot of pairs that you didn’t wear in the last two to three years. So why don’t you just sell them or give them away? This way, you will be able to save more money as well. Why pay for the things that you wouldn’t wear? Remember the old pair of white sneakers that you last wore in college? And the high heels that give you shoe bites every time you have worn them and you promised that you won't touch it again after the party last year? Throw them away.

Stuff shoes with socks

Secondly, you should stuff each pair of shoes with socks so that they are in good shape while in transit. If you don’t believe this trick, then you can ask any long distance movers Chicago. This way, you will also save the pairs from getting smashed.

Box up the costlier and most beautiful ones individually

If you own expensive footwear, you must know how to take care of them. For moving, you should box them up individually no matter how much space they take. Use adequate padding or packing paper. If you have some expensive sneakers, then tie them by the lace. Trust me; this will help them stay safe.

Pack a few essential pairs in a separate box

Do you have a few pairs that you wear to work every day? Then, you should pack them in an individual box. You can unpack this box in the very beginning and unpack the rest later on. You need to have a separate box for the go-tos. You can pack the ones you wouldn’t use this season in a separate box. You can absolutely unpack them a few months later. There is no harm in that when you are moving from or moving to Chicago.

And yes, do not forget to label this box as "essential shoes".

Cleanliness first

You should always use clean packing paper for your shoes. Ditch the newspaper! To keep the shoes fresh, keep them out in the air a few hours before the packing. You can also use unused tea bags in them. It will kill all kinds of bacteria.

Pack heavy shoes on the bottom

Yes, you should never commit the mistake of packing the heavy footwear at the top of a box. Always pack them at the bottom of the box.
