Tips to Take Care of your Safety Shoes

1. Clean dirt and dust from your boots every day

It’s good practice to remove most of the dirt and dust after you've finished work. This allows the leather to breathe naturally, and removes any clumps of mud from your boots. The best way to do this is with a dry boot brush.

2. Cleaning fabric work boots

If you wear work boots made of textile or synthetic materials. Then just use warm water, soap and a sponge.

3. Use polish on your boots regularly

By regularly using polish on your work boots, or by treating them with an impregnating spray, you’ll keep them flexible and water-repellent. Boots that have been polished are also much better at resisting dirt and dust.

4. Air your work boots

Airing your work boots is always a good idea. Allow them to dry, and then air for as long as possible. Untie the laces and push the tongue of the boot all the way forward. Remove your work socks out to allowing aeration.

5. Use two pairs of work boots

Using two pairs of work boots means you can switch them daily, and make your work boots last longer. This may seem like a big initial investment, but in the long run, you won’t need to buy new work boots for a much longer time.

6. Air your insoles

As mentioned in tip 4, it’s just as important to let your insoles dry and air. Don't put them close to a source of heat, as this will cause them to lose their shape and functionality.

7. Wet work boots

Have you been working in the rain and are your work boots wet? Remove the insoles and laces and stuff the boots with some newspaper.

8. Use a shoehorn

A shoehorn will help you to put on your boots faster. It also prevents the heel from bending out of shape and wearing out.
