How to care for your white sneakers in winter?

And in order for light sneakers and sneakers to always be really white, they need to be carefully looked after. In cold, dry weather, this is much easier to do than in snow and slush. But even here you can use some tricks.

1. Wash your shoes immediately upon arrival from the street

It's not just dust and dirt outside that negatively affect sneakers. In snow and ice, roads are sprinkled with special reagents so that the shoes do not slip. And these reagents literally corrode not only the thin and delicate upper of the sneakers, but also the sole itself. When you come home, do not be too lazy to immediately wash off the street dirt with reagents with warm water and a soft sponge. Wipe your shoes dry with a microfiber cloth (it absorbs moisture well) and place them to dry NOT near batteries or radiators.

2. Treat suede sneakers with a water-repellent agent

This should be done immediately after you have brought a brand new pair of shoes home. Buy a water repellent with your sneakers right away - usually a clear spray or liquid. Use the product according to the instructions on the package. Experts advise treating the suede several times, allowing the shoe to dry completely after each application. This will provide the shoe with reliable protection even in snow, rain and slush: water will literally slide off the surface.

3. Leather sneakers regularly treat with cream

Natural leather also tends to absorb large amounts of moisture. Therefore, you need to use a water-repellent agent for it. And if for suede it is usually produced in the form of a spray, then for leather shoes it is better to use a cream. For white sneakers, choose a colorless or white cream, the latter will protect against yellowing. You need to apply the cream on clean, dry shoes before going out: washed in the evening, applied the cream in the morning.

4. If your shoes get wet ...

If your shoes are still wet, or if you have not used any waterproofing agents, first wash your shoes as usual with warm water. Fill the inside of the shoe tightly with absorbent filling, such as paper towels, white paper, or microfiber cloth. Leave the sneakers to dry overnight, change the paper if necessary in the morning and leave to dry some more. Do not put shoes (any!) On the radiators.

5. Do not machine wash white sneakers

Even if your shoes are not made from genuine leather, suede or nubuck, but from synthetic fabric or mesh materials, they should not be washed in the washing machine.At first glance, the sneakers perfectly withstand the delicate wash cycle, in modern machines, there is even a special mode "sports shoes". But believe me, spinning up will significantly shorten the lifespan of your shoes. Better to wash it by hand using regular soap. The rubber sole can be cleaned with white toothpaste and a soft brush.



To dry the steam as quickly as possible, stuff the shoes with paper towels or newspapers and place them to dry on a wire rack away from heat sources. Thus, the shoes will receive the least loss from washing. But not all sneakers can be washed without leaving a trace. Some pairs have various decorative and protective elements based on special impregnations, which after several washes lose their properties or disappear altogether.
