Five clever ways to breathe life into your old favorite shoes

Here are some tips to help you make sure you look like a high heel.

FILL UP: If your boots have been sitting in the back of your closet, it’s time to update them.

Start by stuffing them with crumpled newspaper to keep their shape.

The paper will absorb any remaining moisture and help smooth out creases in the toe area.

In addition, paper naturally absorbs any musty odors.

GAIN: An old toothbrush can be your best grooming friend.

Use it to gently brush away dirt from seams, soles, and hard-to-reach areas around the laces.

A soft toothbrush is the ideal tool for removing plaque and dried-on dirt without damaging the material.

SHINE AND GLOW: Leather boots can fade over time, but a quick polish will soon have them looking like new.

But if you don’t have a shoe cleaning kit on hand, a suede cloth works wonders to add shine and remove the last bits of dirt.

Use small circular motions to polish your boots to make them shine.

OIL IS BACK: To ensure zippers slide smoothly, apply a small amount of oil to them or wipe them with a bar of soap.

It will stop sticking and make it easier to unzip up and down, especially if the boots have been in your closet for a long time.

REFUELING PROCESS: If your heels are worn out, consider changing your heels.

This is often much cheaper than new boots, and a good fitter can also replace the soles.

This is a small repair that will make your favorite boots easier to wear and ready for next season.
