A sturdy shoe bag is an indispensable item for every athlete. Whether you play football, hockey, run or go to the gym: you want to keep dirty shoes separate from your clean sportswear. And do you want to look professional as a team? Then printing shoe bags with your logo or name is a smart choice. In this text, you will discover what to look out for when choosing a good shoe bag, what is the advantage of vents and how you can easily have a personalised bag made.
Why a separate shoe bag for sports shoes is handy
After a training session or competition, your trainers are often wet, muddy or sweaty. If you throw them in your sports bag with your clothes, the rest of your gear will also get damp and start smelling. With a separate shoe bag, you keep everything neatly separated and your sports equipment stays fresher for longer. Moreover, it prevents searching for loose shoes when you are in a hurry.
For athletes who train several times a week, a shoe bag really makes a difference. It is more organized, hygienic and much more practical than a plastic bag or loose solution.
Air vents ensure fresh shoes
A shoe bag with ventilation is no longer a luxury these days, but a must. Thanks to the vents, your shoes can be aired better after use. This prevents unpleasant odours, mildew and ensures that your shoes dry faster between sports.
Do you often have wet shoes, for example after football training in the rain or an intensive indoor sport? Then ventilation in your bag is extra important. You really notice the difference.
Who is a personalised shoe bag interesting for?
A personalised shoe bag with logo, name or number is more than just a nice extra. For sports teams, schools and companies, it is a smart way to convey recognition and unity.
Think of sports clubs where each team member has their own bag. No more confusion in the changing room and it immediately looks professional. A printed shoe bag also does well at sports events, clinics or as a business gift.

Shoe bags with extra features make a difference
A good shoe bag is not just a bag with a zip. Extra features make it really convenient to use. For example, consider a separate zip pocket for accessories such as socks, tape, a shoehorn or deodorant. This saves time and hassle. The carrying loop at the top is also handy. You can easily hang the bag in the changing room or carry it comfortably loose when you are on the move.
At Klaver Sport, you will find shoe bags that meet all these requirements, such as the Macron Shoe Bag Ferry and the Erima Shoe Bag Six Wings. The Macron variant is compact but spacious enough for sports shoes of all sizes, made of hard-wearing polyester with a capacity of 10.5 litres.
