It is common for footwear to lose its performance and protective properties after being stored during the off-season. The reason is improper storage. Simply following a few basic recommendations will help the footwear serve its intended service life.
Recommendations:
- Thoroughly clean off dirt, shake out dust and foreign objects, and dry the footwear.
- Dry footwear at room temperature in a well-ventilated area or use specialized dryers and drying cabinets. It is important to loosen laces as much as possible and remove insoles for drying and airing.
- Store and dry footwear at least 1 meter away from heating appliances and heat sources to prevent the footwear from drying out. Avoid exposing the items to direct sunlight.
- Straighten footwear to prevent creasing and deformation. It is advisable to place special inserts inside the shoes to minimize the risk of deformation.
- Place footwear in the individual packaging (boxes) in which it was supplied.
- Store new and used footwear separately.
- Store safety footwear at a temperature from +15 to + 25 and a relative humidity of 50-80%.
- Place racks for safety footwear at least 1 m away from heating appliances. The distance to walls and other objects should be at least 20 cm.
