Why rotating shoes lets them dry
A shoe worn every day starts damp, and a day of air lets yesterday's moisture leave.
When the purchase is complete, return to the original window. It will refresh.
From the opening
Rotating shoes lets them dry because sweat and weather put water into the lining, the insole, and sometimes the upper, and that water needs time and air to leave. A shoe worn again the next morning often starts the walk still damp, so the moisture never finishes moving out. The opening covers linings hold yesterday's moisture, open air is what finishes the drying, and a closed box keeps the damp.
The rest of the brief — the later sections and the reading notes — opens after Stripe confirms payment.
