P > A) dirty GORE-TEX shoes - clean the water with brush first, and clean the non leather shoes (such as the nun dragon face) with a sponge soaked in warm water.

If it is oil dirt or very dirty strong pollution, it is better to use leather cleaner and nylon brush to clean the surface. As for the lining of shoes, wipe it with damp cloth, because the salt coming from sweat will quickly enter the pores of leather through the lining, and destroy the leather tissue to dry and crack. < /p >

< p > b) clean up the GORE-TEX shoes of frosted skin. When the shoes are dry, remove the floating soil and use the water spray agent to process them.

Do not use shoes wax or shoe polish, they will weaken the air permeability of shoes < /p >

< p > C) clean Non Leather GORE-TEX shoes - cold water cleaning, natural drying.

After drying, it is treated with water spray.

Do not use shoes wax or shoe polish, they will weaken the air permeability of shoes < /p >

< p > 4. maintenance: properly maintained mountaineering boots can last for several years, and regularly use footwear to maintain leather and restore surface water resistance.

If GORE-TEX shoes are not maintained and water treated, the waterproof and breathability of the GORE-TEX film will not be damaged, but it will affect the permeability, durability and comfort of the whole pair of shoes.

The water repellent recommended by GORE company is less than /p.

< p > A, you can use cortical protection wax spray or GORE-TEX special wax spray to evenly spray 2-3 times on the mountaineering shoes, which is beneficial to extend the service life < /p >

The newly purchased mountaineering boots must be repeatedly coated with water repellent for a period of time. Meanwhile, the boots should be kept dry and clean, and the waterproofing agents must be applied to sutures and pinholes. One to two days before the start of the activity, the waterproof agent should be applied to the upper surface so that the leather can be absorbed completely.

Nylon cloth mountaineering boots, because porous is not easy to waterproof, can use silica gel derivative (silicon-based) spray, regardless of any boots must keep dry state < /p >

< p > C) wipe the oil on the tongue of the shoe to prevent the leather from making noise, and rub the oil on the metal parts to prevent them from oxidizing, rusting < /p >.

< p > 5. replacement soles: the bottom of the shoe is faster than the shoe upper. The climbing boots of the general high price can replace the boot, and the updated boots will be tighter because the vamp has changed the original size < /p >.

< p > 6. keep the insole clean < /p >.
