The Sneaker Care Guide: Make Them Last Twice as Long
Cleaning, rotation and storage habits that noticeably extend a sneaker's life.
By DealsCanvas Editorial
Wearing the same pair of sneakers every day is the fastest way to wear them out — the midsole foam needs roughly 24 hours to decompress between wears to keep its cushioning. Rotating two pairs, even both budget options, will outlast one pair worn daily.
Most suede and leather sneakers benefit from a protective spray applied before the first wear, not after the first stain. Reapply every few months if you're wearing them regularly.
Store sneakers away from direct sunlight and stuffed with paper (not left flat) to help them keep their shape — a cheap fix that meaningfully affects resale value if you ever sell them on.
