How many pairs of shoes do you have? We bet you have more than three, or too many to count! In this post, you will learn how to pack them effortlessly. If you think that stashing everything in a box, think again.
Professional movers suggest the following ways to get your shoes and feet ready for moving:
- You can stuff your shoes using packing paper to hold their shape. Avoid using newspaper as the ink can be transferred to any of your footwear. To retain the shape of your boots, stuff them all the way up the shaft.
- After stuffing, use more packing paper to wrap the shoes. To start wrapping your shoes, lay a shoe in one corner then add the other shoe, tucking in extra packing paper as you go. Wrap them tightly while being careful not to press them together and avoiding any damage. You can do the same for your boots.
- Shoes are best packed in individual boxes. It can be the original box or any other box of appropriate size.
- Stack individual boxes in one huge moving box. Start with the heaviest to the lightest. Add padding to extra spaces.
- Professional movers remind you not to overfill boxes and not to exceed 40 pounds. Doing so will facilitate easy lifting.
- Don't forget to label the box properly. You can write the owner's name and the contents so you can easily find your favorite footwear when unloading.
- Too protect the shoes from being squished, don't stack heavy items on top of the box.
