A smart way of escaping such an issue is to make sure you store your footwear in a dry place where the moisture won’t harm them. To be on the safer side, taking an extra precaution is always better. Stuffing your shoes in monsoon with newspaper or tissue paper does the trick. it keeps your shoes in monsoon dry and soaks in all the moisture which eliminates the chances of developing a fungus. If you can source silica gel pouches, they are good too!
