Maintaining your safety footwear is essential to ensure the longevity of its protective features and its overall performance. A well-cared-for shoe will continue to protect you long after a neglected pair has failed.
To clean the shoes, use a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove dirt. We strongly advise against machine washing, as the agitation and saturation can degrade the internal adhesives and the SmellStop lining, which rather defeats the purpose of high-quality footwear.
Do not use bleach or aggressive detergents on the AirTech materials. Such chemicals can strip away the protective coatings and weaken the fabric, leading to premature wear and a loss of hydrocarbon resistance.
If your shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated space. Avoid placing them directly on radiators or using heat guns; excessive heat can cause the soles to delaminate and the materials to crack, which is a remarkably efficient way to ruin your investment.
Finally, ironing safety shoes is strictly not recommended. The high heat of an iron would likely melt the technical components and the outsole, leaving you with a very flat, very useless piece of footwear.
