How are you supposed to pack your shoes for a move anyway? Do you put them in a suitcase? Should you load them into a clean garbage bag? Would it be best to store them in a plastic storage bin? Is it a good idea to load them in regular moving boxes? It’s important that you get the process down pat because you don’t want them to be squashed and misshapen after the Mississauga, ON moving company transports your stuff to your new location.
You can avoid this unfortunate scenario by keeping in mind these 3 packing tips. They’ll ensure that your shoes get from point A to point B in tip-top shape.
- Wrap Them inUnused Packing Paper
This step is vitally important. You don’t want your shoes to get scratched up or damaged in any way, and one way you can prevent this is to wrap them in packing paper — packing paper that has not been used previously, that is. It needs to be clean if it’s going to provide you with the level of protection that you want for your shoes. Don’t make the mistake of using your morning newspaper to wrap your shoes. You might be able to get away with wrapping your drinking glasses or dishes in newspaper — since you will wash these items when you get to your new home — but don’t subject your shoes to the potential for smudging or staining. If you don’t want to invest in packing paper, then head over to the nearest dollar store and get some hand towels to use as a substitute for packing paper. This alternative will do just fine.
- Stuff Your Shoesand Wrap Them Too
You’ll next want to stuff your shoes with socks or paper – either one will do – so that your shoes retain their shape during the move. After stuffing them, you should wrap each show individually. You can use packing paper or hand towels to do the job.
- Put the Shoes in Their Original Box
Do you still have the original shoe boxes for your shoes? If you do, pack the stuffed and wrapped shoes in their original shoe boxes. Chances are, though, that you don’t have all or any of the original shoe boxes. You can find suitable substitute boxes elsewhere. You can also buy some plastic shoe bins for transport if you don’t want to transport them in cardboard boxes.
By following these steps, you can transport your shoes carefully during your move. When you unpack them and put them where you want them, they’ll be in tip-top shape and ready for wearing whenever you’re ready to wear them.
