Regular maintenance of your safety shoes is essential to prolong their lifespan and guarantee optimal protection against professional risks.
safety shoes are often exposed to harsh conditions, such as mud, oil, grease and other hazardous substances, it is therefore important to maintain them correctly to maintain their performance.
We are going to share with you some practical tips for properly maintaining your safety shoes.
1- Cleaning safety shoes
It is recommended to clean your safety shoes after each use to prevent the accumulation of dirt and hazardous substances.
Use a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt and dust, and use a cleaner specifically designed for safety footwear to remove stains and grease residues.
Some safety shoes cannot be cleaned with water, so it is important to check the care instructions before cleaning your shoes.
2- Check the condition of the soles carefully:
It is also necessary to regularly check the condition of the soles and shoe reinforcements.
Worn or damaged soles can increase the risk of falls and damaged reinforcements may no longer protect effectively against risk of perforation.
It is therefore important to replace worn or damaged soles and reinforcements to guarantee optimal protection. It is recommended to check the condition of the soles and reinforcements every month to avoid any problems.
3- Store shoes properly after use:
It is also important to store your safety shoes properly when not in use.
It is recommended to store them in a dry place away from heat to prevent them from deforming or deteriorating.
It is also important to store them away from chemicals and heat sources to avoid damaging the materials.
It is also recommended not to store them in humid places or exposed to extreme temperatures which can damage the materials and alter the safety properties.
4- Follow the maintenance instructions
It is essential to follow the maintenance instructions specific to each type of safety shoes.
Leather shoes require different care than canvas or rubber shoes. It is therefore important to check the care instructions for each type of shoe to ensure optimal use.
It is important to check whether the shoes can be cleaned with water or not, if they need a specific cleaning product or whether they need to be lubricated regularly to maintain their performance.
