Keep shoes from brushing against clothing inside a short-trip bag while making them straightforward to remove at arrival. Gather a washable shoe bag or fabric pouch, the packed shoes, and your travel bag.
Set it up
Brush off loose dirt and make sure the shoes are dry enough to pack before placing them sole-to-sole in the pouch.
Put the idea to work
Position the pouch near the base of the travel bag where the shoes shape supports the packing arrangement without crushing clothing.
Finish and keep it useful
Remove the shoes promptly at the destination and air the pouch before repacking it for the return journey. Avoid sealing damp shoes in an airtight bag for an extended period just to keep the rest of the luggage tidy.
Where can your travel shoes sit without pressing against clean clothing?
