yeah, but dont use strong tape. cuz if you do decide to take it off. it could permanently bond to the 23 and rip right off. and you would putsilica gel packs in the same container your shoes are in.

Plastic bags work best. doesnt apply too much pressure on your toes. the decreasers are only effective for flat toed toe boxes.

ceder shoe trees were in the titainium xx3 i think. the bag of the ceder blocks says used to keep materials like leather jackets, clothes, exterminate smellsetc. it also says to put in shoe boxes. i looked it up and they compared it to silica packs and moth balls. wut were ceder shoe trees in the titainium xx3 for,just for show.

what exactly are you asking? It's all run-on sentences. And seaglow works THAT good if you do it right.

yeah but, it probably wont stick as long. esp. if you wear jeans.

From what i know its impossible to really prevent creases. Overtime the material is gonna weaken and creases will start to appear the more you wear it. forcefield are really for flat toed boxes.

I never really heard of cedar shoe trees help a shoe preserve. It could be yeah, i dont know myself.

if its falling apart, then yes

 

[shackery dakery]

like the soles are falling off the shoe...
theyre done huh? sorry for asking the same question twice

 

[crw127]

i have read numerous places that keeping the paper in the box speeds up/contributes to yellowing. i have also read that storing shoes in ziploc bags are bothgood and bad. the best way ive heard to store shoes in the box is by substituting the paper with garbage bags. what are your opinions? and if using the garbagebag method, is there ant specific type i shoudl use? right now i just store mine in the box no tissue, some with silica packs.

I just keep my shoes with everything that it came with. never had a problem. Some of those theories are kinda iffy. but its not my problem. all my XIs are withthe same tissue paper it came with out of the factory. I just kept them in my closet. Its been the same ever since.

well if its just the sole coming apart from the midsole you can just re-glue it. but if the midsole is already crumbling. its done for.
