The maintenance of hiking shoes can be divided into 3 parts
1, cleaning:
Any dirt, especially mud, attached to the road should be washed away with cold water as soon as possible. Use a nylon brush if necessary.
Do not use ordinary soap. It will make the leather lose its protection from chapping. A kind of "FOOTWEAR CLEANING GEL" was once recommended by NIKWAX. I haven't used it myself. So don't comment.
After cleaning, wipe with a newspaper and dry the house in a cool, ventilated place. Can not be roasted or exposed.
2, waterproof:
Qualified hiking shoes should have perfect waterproof function. However, the waterproof function may be weakened with use. It is necessary to re-waterproof (drainage).
The main material is wax. Can be divided into WATER BASED OR OIL BASED
Since water-based wax (Wax-based WAX) can be used when the shoe surface is wet, it does not have to wait until it is completely dry. In addition, according to manufacturers, water-based waxes can be used on gor-tex.
Water-based waxes can be classified into two types for use on leather surfaces and for leather nylon blend surfaces. Should identify the use.
Waterproofing for anti-wool shoes is a separate product. NIKWAX is called nubuck and suede.
3, leather care:
The use of leather care agents (CONDITIONER FOR LEATHER) can soften the leather, prolong its service life and prevent the occurrence of dry cracks. Some books recommend that immediately after buying a pair of new shoes, the conditioner should be used as protection for the start-up phase to help us adapt to the new shoes more quickly. (Of course, it is not ruled out that this is the propaganda of the business)
The more popular brands are NIKWAX and GRANGER'S. I use the latter myself, a special product for 2 and a gor-tex, while softening leather and waterproofing the surface.
With regard to waterproof, maintenance and gor-tex ventilation, there seems to be no final conclusion. From my own experience, using ordinary shoe polish is definitely affecting. As for the impact of water-based waxes and special gor-tex leather care agents, I am not sure. Manufacturer's instructions guarantee no effect. The actual use can only be understood by everyone.
