    So, how do you all keep your shoes on this long break?

    I wipe them clean, brush the outsole, dry it abit, put it inside the box, & never come out afterward.

    Should i take it out regularly? I had silica gel i found when buying stuff like food or something, so i put some of gel bag inside the box.

    I changed the shoelaces of my Mizuno Wave Claw since its too sparkly, changed it to green shoelaces. :)

    My shoes wear out quickly, and I have to buy new ones every season.

    That's totally normal though, especially if you're clocking in some solid hours on court. I went through 4 pairs last season and 2 this one.

    Also even if the shoes are still looking new, the cushioning won't last forever.

    4 pairs a season? then u have to play everyday?

    I play 3/4 times a week and at most use 2 pairs a season.
    I do replace the soles sometimes though.

    Never leave it out in the sun to dry.

    This is what I usually do:

    1. Put newspaper inside the shoe to soak the moisture in the shoe
    2. Clean the outside
    3. Leave it in the open (Not in direct sunlight) to air dry
    4. Keep the shoe in a cabinet with charcoal bag
