In this blog entry, the Tri-State area residential moving and Tri-State area interstate moving service team here at Noah’s Ark Moving and Storage will detail the best techniques for packing shoes when moving.
We recommend downsizing your wardrobe to get rid of old clothing and shoes that you no longer want to wear before your move. If your closet is full of shoes that you no longer wear or fit you, get rid of them before packing for your move to simplify the entire process of moving and unpacking at your new property.
Protect shoes from damage and stay organized during your move by boxing your shoes up. You can use the original boxes that your shoes came in, or simply purchase a number of cardboard boxes to keep shoes safe and organized.
Make it so your favorite pairs of shoes are easy to find at your new property. Keep shoes that you’ll likely wear soon in a separate area from out of season shoes or other shoes that you don’t see yourself wearing for a while.
We recommend packing shoes into storage options with wheels like rolling laundry baskets. This makes it much easier for you to carry shoes from place to place, as they can get incredibly heavy when packed together.
Most shoes are sturdy but they still need to be protected with bubble wrap when packing to ensure that they don’t get scratched, scuffed, or damaged.
