Fashion Fixer: Easy Wipes to Clean Your Footwear

Navigating the city during winter time can wreck havoc on your boots or shoes. Here, an easy, inexpensive fix.

THE STYLE DILEMMA: Navigating the city during winter time can wreck havoc on your boots or shoes. Even when there is seemingly no snow on the ground, those unsightly chalky white salt stains often appear on your footwear. And you might notice it just as you’re about to enter that important meeting at work or a dressy event in the evening.

THE QUICK SOLUTION: Taking your boots and shoes for a professional polish and shine at a shoe repair shop can get expensive throughout a long winter, but there is a more inexpensive — and faster — way to clean your footwear.

BootRescue, a Toronto-based company, came up with the brilliant innovation – on-the-go packages of 15 individual moist wipes which easily removes those ugly stains. New additions to the line this spring includes SneakerRescue, which helps keep your sneakers looking box fresh new and SandalRescue, which helps get rid the build-up of oil, dirt and odour on the inside of your sandals.

THE RETAIL DETAILS: BootRescue retails for $6.99 and is available at select shoe stores across Canada or check bootrescue.ca for more retail locations or to purchase online. SneakerRescue and SandalRescue will be available in April 2016.
