How do I clean sports shoes without damaging them?

To clean your athletic shoes safely and extend their lifespan, proper care is required. Avoid the washing machine, as hot water and spinning break down adhesives, wear out cushioning materials (EVA foam), and deform their shape. Always remember to hand wash them, removing the laces and insoles. Use a soft brush or a sponge with lukewarm water and mild soap or special shoe cleaner to clean the surface and sole. Let them dry in a shaded, well-ventilated space and do not place them directly in the sun, on a radiator, or in a tumble dryer.

Is there a waterproofing spray for hiking shoes?

Yes, there is specialized waterproofing spray (proofing spray). It is specially designed to renew the durable water repellent (DWR) coating on shoes made of fabric, synthetic materials, or Gore-Tex/Novadry-type membranes. Spray it on clean, slightly damp shoes to create a protective layer that stops water and mud from penetrating, while maintaining the material's breathability.

How often should I care for my athletic shoes?

Care frequency depends on usage and conditions. It is a good idea to clean your hiking shoes after every use, removing mud or dust with a dry brush and letting them air out with the insoles removed.
You can also do a deep clean every 1 to 2 months, while waterproofing with a special proofing spray is recommended every 3 to 6 months or whenever you notice water droplets no longer bead and slide off the surface of your shoes.

Does any shoe care product remove odor?

Yes, there are specialized deodorizing products! Shoe deodorant sprays neutralize odor-causing bacteria and provide a fresh feel, while there are also deodorizing sachets and balls placed inside shoes after workouts to absorb moisture and release a pleasant scent.
Tip: Always remove insoles after exercise so they dry completely!
