Cleaning method of mountaineering shoes
Cleaning step 1: when cleaning mountaineering shoes, you can skillfully use a toothbrush (scrapped toothbrush) to remove the dirt at the hidden place and gap, or you can also use a "nylon shoe brush".
Cleaning step 2: after brushing the dust off the mountaineering shoes with nylon shoes, wash the stubborn stains and salt stains with water agent first, brush them off with a brush, and then spray them with nursing solution. (try to avoid contact with metal fasteners during brushing to prevent rust.)
Cleaning step 3: after cleaning the mountaineering shoes, it is best to put them outside the house to be dried by direct sunlight. When air drying, take off the shoelaces, take out the insoles, open the mountaineering shoes to the greatest extent, and then insert the newspaper into the shoes to absorb the water, which can speed up the air drying of mountaineering shoes.
Cleaning step 4: do not put wet hiking shoes close to heat sources, such as fire or heater. Otherwise, the leather will shrink, the hiking shoes will become a small half size, or the leather will crack.
Cleaning step 5: if the fabric of mountaineering shoes is dry and begins to lose color, moisten it as soon as possible to prevent it from cracking.
Cleaning step 6: if the mountaineering shoes are cleaned as new, please store them in a cool, dry and dark place for next use.
Maintenance method of mountaineering shoes
Maintenance before wearing: coating the suture and pinhole with waterproof agent can improve the waterproof degree of vamp and suture. The newly purchased hiking boots should be applied with waterproof agent repeatedly for a period of time. It is best to apply it one to two days before the activity to make the leather fully absorbed, and then the leather is dark brown. Nylon cloth mountaineering boots are not easy to be waterproof due to many pores. Silicone derivative spray can be used.
How to wear: try not to wear a pair of shoes for a long time. The long-term humid and fatigue environment will shorten the service life of shoes.
How to clean: generally, it is OK to clean with water, but special attention must be paid. After cleaning, do not expose the shoes to the sun. The shoes are easy to open after exposure to the sun. They should be placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry naturally; Do not use fire to dry at high temperature. The leather will become dry and easy to crack; However, when the upper is wet, you can put it in the sun for a long time.
How to store: shoes should not be wet. Moisture will damage the waterproof, breathable, leather, thread and other properties of shoes inside and outside. If it needs to be stored for more than a few months, it is recommended that you dry the inside and outside of the shoes before storing them. Place them in a cool and ventilated place, and do not fold the shoe body. It is best to take out the insole before short-term storage (after ordinary activities) and long-term storage, because the insole itself is wet.
How to repair: if the shoes are glued, first clean the glued part before gluing, and then glue and repair after cooling and drying.
Precautions: do not use 101 / 502 glue to stick shoes. Some donkey friends' shoes may have the problem of opening glue. Don't use 101 or 502 glue to stick shoes. These two kinds have high corrosivity and will affect the scientific and technological performance of mountaineering shoes.
