Soccer shoes are the best in terms of comfort, support, naturalness, waterproofness, and breathability. When it gets a little damp, the leather will absorb it and still keep your feet comfortable. But when it has just one whole soaking, it can make the leather tight, shrink, short, the upper peel down, and become less dry. Here are some simple suggestions for shoes to keep their original shape and function after a long period of use.
 1. Cleaning: Regular cleaning is the first step in shoe maintenance. The slightest bit of dirt can get inside the leather fibers, making it dry and gradually lose its function. We will use water to rinse off its mud and dirt, if it is greasy dirt, or very dirty strong dirt, there is no water to clean, the best use of leather cleaner and nylon brush to clean the surface, as for the lining of the shoes, it is wiped with a damp cloth to clean, because the salt from the sweat will quickly enter the pores of the leather through the lining, and destroy the organization of the leather, so that it dries and cracks.
       2. restore the function or add power waterproofing agent: this work is not only to keep the user's feet dry, but also to keep the feet clean, maintain the leather to make it soft and durable. After the shoes are cleaned with water, the whole pair should be coated with the appropriate waterproofing agent, especially in the stitching and metal buckle parts, should be strengthened, this is the guarantee of the complete maintenance of leather shoes. When you want your shoes to accompany you through the long journey twenty-four hours before, it is also best to use the waterproofing agent to maintain, so that your shoes, for your feet, more dry.
3. Keep them dry: first open the laces, take out the insoles, then put the shoes at room temperature and let them dry slowly, never use heat sources (fire, sun, ....) Do not use a heat source (fire, sun, ) to make it dry quickly, because excessive heat will damage its tissue and the adhesive performance will be destroyed. In addition, in the shoe stuffed with newspaper, can make the shoes inside the moisture, early dry, do not forget, from time to time to replace the newspaper has been wet.
4. Regular maintenance: regular maintenance of shoes, is to prevent it from being foreign objects (water, sand ......) The only way to destroy the tissue, not to mention that it can restore the original function of leather, in normal use (not soak water, no oil...) At least once a year, you need to put on the leather oil.

(Another: white words can use a toothbrush + pure white toothpaste; other see what color he can brush and wash, or sports stores also sell foam type shoe cleaner is also good; and that is, remember to take down the nail)
The leather of soccer shoes is divided into 3 types - leather (natural leather), synthetic leather, and artificial leather, and these 3 types of cleaning methods are not the same.

★ Natural leather and synthetic leather sneakers cleaning method

Because sand and gravel can affect the performance of shoes, so do the cleaning action after use.

Wipe the inside of the shoe and the inside of the heel where the sand and dirt have accumulated. Use a soft bristle brush for the upper part and a stiff bristle or metal brush for the sole part. After that, wipe off the dirty part with a damp cloth, and wipe the part that can't be wiped off with special cordial milk.

If you have been in a rain battle and need to wipe with Coriolis milk, you must wipe in its [semi-dry] state. And please be sure to use shoe support after cleaning, because the moisture will hurt the shoes.
★Artificial leather

        Basically, it is the same, but it can be washed with water (e.g. a cloth soaked with water), but it is strictly forbidden to rinse it with water directly.

Shoe polish use timing

The purpose of using shoe polish is to protect the leather from drying out and causing deterioration. Some inexperienced people suggest that shoe polish should be applied only 1 to 2 months after use. This is absurd and defeats the purpose of shoe polish, and the leather is damaged.

After cleaning the sneakers, you can lightly apply a layer of shoe polish to the upper.

The color of the shoe polish used depends on the color of the sneaker, light-colored sneakers use white shoe polish, dark-colored sneakers use black shoe polish.

After cleaning the sneakers, place them in a cool and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight, and put some cloth or paper inside the shoes to absorb water and moisture.

★Shoe maintenance method

There are 3 main points of sneaker protection: heel, upper and sole, and 3 key maintenance parts.

The heel is the lifeblood of the whole pair of sneakers, if it is damaged, the feeling of the ball and ball control and player movement when playing football will be very damaging, even if the shoe has a good performance is also in vain.

Once the heel is broken, the shoe is dead. The way to protect the heel must be noted from the usual shoe wearing habits.

The upper is the key part of the shoe that can make a good ball, because it is in direct contact with the ball and must maintain a considerable impact and elasticity.

If you don't use your sneakers, it's okay to put them anywhere, but the key is the way you put them.

If the shoe is not used for a long time, please put the shoe on its side or upside down, and spread a cloth on the upper to prevent dust, and put shoe polish on it once every six months. Regular users must wipe with shoe polish every month.

The sole is mainly to maintain the grip on the court, as well as the life of the spikes.

There are different methods for the sole depending on the type of shoe, SG is more important than other types of shoes because the spikes can be replaced.

The soles of FG and HG shoes have different degrees of wear and tear on the spikes depending on the way you use them. The use of outdoor shoes is strictly forbidden outside the land.

Basically, the retirement rate of sneakers is very high, so if you don't take care of them, you will have to replace them frequently.
