Do You Drive a Car? You're Probably Ruining Your Shoes

By Kat Collings

If you love your shoes as much as we do, you’ll want to read this.

Keep a second pair of shoes in your car—any sort of backless shoe, such as sandals, slides, or slingbacks, will do—and switch into them while you drive. Sure, it’s an extra step to add to your routine, but ultimately you’re prolonging the lifespan of your shoes.
