You may be tempted to toss all of your shoes into the bottom of a box when packing for an upcoming move. This not only puts them at risk for physical damage, but also makes it that much more difficult to unpack when you arrive at your destination.
If you have shoe boxes, pack the shoes in the boxes, otherwise some packing paper will protect the shoes from scuffing and other damage. It is a good idea to let shoes air out for a couple of days after wearing before packing them.
- For shoes in shoe boxes, wrap each shoe in a half piece of packing paper to protect from rubbing or scuffing.
- Line a box with crumpled paper. Put boxes and shoes in the box.
- Shoes without boxes can be wrapped as a pair in a single piece of packing paper.
- Fill in gaps with crumpled paper. Close the box and secure with packing tape.
- Label the box.
