The care and maintenance of sports shoes

The care and maintenance of sports shoes such as Nike Sneakers, Puma Sneakers, is an important topic. If you buy your products and tools individually or you invest in a kit of faith, old shoe shine, we strongly suggest all three phases to maximize the life of your shoes and keep them looking their best.

Protection

So now that you've opened the box and tried on your shoes, the first step to make is the last protection. Apply product protection for shoes before you ever outside your home. Protection products can be in the form of oil, wax and silicone spray available in most shoe stores. These form a barrier that prevents water, dirt and stains from entering higher education. Each materials requires a particular type of protection. Do your research and choose the one that best suits your shoes.

Exterior Maintenance

All sneakers require a certain amount of cleaning and maintenance. Some advice to keep your shoes in good condition.

If you can avoid it, do not wear the same shoes every day. Not only does this prevent wear out, but it is also good for your body. Allow the shoes a day or two to rest and dry before reuse.

Do ever your shoes in the washing machine or immerse in water. For sneakers canvas as our regular Converse Chuck Taylors, washing hands with a mild detergent and cold water. Allow to air dry after washing and do not throw them in the dryer unless you want them lose their shape and / or melt.

Nylon sneakers and nylon mesh can be wiped with a damp cloth, but nylon key is prevention. Spraying shoes nylon periodically with silicone spray will prevent dirt and stains cling. Again, you should never diving shoes or put them in the wash.

Soft leather shoes, like Havana Joe Oxfords, we recommend cream footwear or Polish. Choose the color closest to the color of your shoes or a neutral color. Use a soft cloth and leather dust, then apply the cream. If you have stains on leather, cloth well wrung can be used to gently rub the stain off. Dry completely before applying the polish shoe. Polishing leather shoes takes time, but it's worth. Remember Polish never wet shoes or you could damage the leather. For minor scratches, try rubbing with the hand and letting the natural oils restore the leather. Saddle soap is also a great way to treat your shoes leather.

Suede shoes may be the most difficult to treat. Sweden attracts dyes, and may be difficult to remove, because obtaining the suede wet can ruin the shoes. For dirt and minor stains, try a soft brush to gently brush the dirt and brush any stain. Again, Prevention is key. Regular brushing will keep the sum of Suede Stains and looking good, but tough can be removed with an activity commercial stain remover suitable for suede. Choose an appropriate product and follow the instructions carefully.

Nubuck and leather should be durabuck treated the same way that suede with regular brushing and an appropriate stain remover if necessary.

Durabuck synthetic can be cleaned with Ivory soap with cold water and a toothbrush. Allow to air dry and be sure to clean them after exposed to dirt or mud.

Are the soles of your shoes looking worn and dirty? Try a toothbrush and paste or Green Oxyclean simple cleaning spray. Both products are completely natural and environmentally friendly. Use sparingly, with lots of elbow grease to clean the soles of your shoes.
