Maintenance of CAT work shoes
Use shoe lasts to prevent shoe deformation: To prevent shoes from deforming, inserting shoe lasts has the best effect. Factors such as foot shape, walking style, body temperature, moisture, and rain can cause shoes to lose shape. Especially when your feet are sweaty or exposed to rain, you must use shoe lasts to fix the shape of your shoes. Since body temperature and moisture will cause the leather to loosen, it must be set while body temperature is still present in the shoe.
Do some maintenance immediately after purchase: New shoes are not coated with shoe polish. To protect the new shoes, you must first apply shoe polish, polish them, and spray waterproof mist before wearing them. Whether you do the above two steps or not has a lot to do with the speed of aging of your shoes. Also, no matter how much you like your shoes, you shouldn’t wear them every day.
Frequency of wearing the same pair of shoes: Generally speaking, no matter how much you like your shoes, you shouldn’t wear them every day. Swapping different shoes is one of the ways to prevent shoes from aging. Keeping extra pairs of shoes will not only give your leather shoes enough time to rest and make them last longer, but it will also prevent odor caused by sweaty feet.
