Cleaning method for hiking shoes
Cleaning steps 1: To clean hiking shoes, you can use a toothbrush (scrapped toothbrush) to remove dirt in hidden places and gaps, or you can also use “ nylon shoe brush ”
Cleaning step 2: After using nylon shoes to brush off the dust, for stubborn stains and salt stains, first rinse with clean water and brush off with a brush, then spray with a care solution. (When scrubbing, try to avoid contact with the metal fasteners to prevent rust.)
Cleaning step 3: After cleaning the hiking shoes, it is best to place them outside the house to receive direct sunlight to air-dry them. When air-drying, you should untie the shoelaces, take out the insoles, open the hiking shoes to the maximum extent, and then stuff the newspaper into the shoes to absorb the moisture, which can speed up the air-drying shoes.
Cleaning Step 4: Do not place wet hiking shoes near heat sources, such as fire or heaters. Otherwise the leather will shrink, the hiking shoes will become half-sized or the leather will crack.
Cleaning Step 5: If the fabric of the hiking shoe is dry and begins to lose its color, wet it as soon as possible to prevent it from cracking.
Cleaning Step 6: The hiking shoes are cleaned as new, please store them in a cool, dry, and light-proof place for next time.
Maintenance of hiking shoes
Before wearing: Applying sutures and pinholes with waterproofing agent can improve the waterproofness of the upper and stitches. It is best to apply newly purchased hiking boots repeatedly with waterproofing agent for a period of time. It is best to apply one to two days before the event to allow the leather to absorb completely, and then the leather will be dark brown. Because of the pores of nylon cloth, silicone derivative spray can be used because of the large number of pores and is not easy to waterproof.
How to wear: Try not to wear a pair of shoes for a long time. Long-term humidity and fatigue environment will shorten the lifespan of shoes.
How to clean: Generally, it is fine to clean with water, but special attention must be paid to it after cleaning. Never put it in the sun. It is easy to peel the glue after the shoe is exposed to the sun. It should be placed in a cool and ventilated place to let it dry naturally; it should not be dried at high temperatures at high temperatures, as the leather will dry easily; but you can put it in the sun while the upper is wet, and it should not be dried for a long time.
How to store: Shoes are most avoided to be wet. After being damp, it will cause damage to the inside and outside of the shoes, such as waterproof, breathable, leather, and thread. If you want to store it for more than a few months, it is recommended that you let the inside and outside dry before storing it, place it in a cool and ventilated place, and do not fold the shoe body. It is best to remove the insoles before short-term storage (after normal activities) and long-term storage, because the insoles themselves are wet.
How to repair: If the shoe is glued, first clean the glued area before replenishing the glue, dry it coolly before replenishing it.
Notes: Do not use 101/502 glue to dip shoes. Some hikers may have glue problems when opening shoes. Do not use 101 or 502 glue to dip them. These two types have high corrosion properties and will affect the technological performance of hiking shoes.
