How to prevent mildew when casual leather shoes are wet?

After the shoes are wet by the rain, proper disposal should be done immediately to prevent the shoes from being deformed and moldy. In addition to the ideal effect of using the new fully automatic digital sterilization shoe dryer, the following methods can also be used:

① First, use a fabric with good water absorption to absorb the moisture on the surface of the casual leather shoes. If you wipe too hard, the dirt attached to it may scratch the epidermis of the shoe, so you should pay special attention.

② Casual leather shoes have newspapers or toilet paper built into the shoes, and replace them more to completely absorb the moisture.
