How (and Why) You Should Insure Your Sneaker Collection

The transition of sneaker culture from niche to mainstream in the past few years has seen collections get bigger and more valuable – and more prone to potential disaster. A decade ago, insuring sneakers may have seemed like a silly idea, but a shoe collection today can be worth as much, if not more, than a house! Sadly, collections get stolen and/or damaged more often than you think, so it’s worth having some sort of financial contingency. So, whether you’re a sole trader (pun intended) or a corporate giant, you gotta have some protection. Here’s a basic guide to getting your sneaker collection insured – but be sure to check with financial and legal experts before you sign on any dotted lines.
