Failure to properly dry your hiking boots can quickly shorten their lifespan! ⚠️ A fatal mistake many hikers make - drying at high temperatures ❌ Never say anything like that! 🔥 Drying in the boiler room is a shortcut to ruining your hiking boots. 🔥 Drying in front of a radiator weakens the structure of the shoe 🔥 Using a hair dryer will permanently damage the material 💢 Problems caused by incorrect drying 📌 The leather becomes hard and cracks. 📌 Synthetic materials may shrink and change the shape of the shoe. 📌 There is a serious problem that the adhesive may melt and the sole may separate. 📌 The waterproof function of Gore-Tex is completely lost. ✨ How to properly dry hiking boots 1️⃣ Basic drying method 🔸 Unlace your shoes completely to allow air to circulate freely. 🔸 The insole must be removed and dried separately. 🔸 Find a well-ventilated, shaded space. 🔸 Avoid direct sunlight as it may cause discoloration and deformation. 2️⃣ Tips for quick drying! 📝 Using newspaper 🔸 If you crumple it up and put it inside your shoes, it will absorb moisture quickly. 🔸 If you change it every 1-2 hours, the drying effect will be much better. 🔸 If you don't have newspaper, you can use a kitchen towel instead. 💨 Additional drying methods 🌟 Using the fan wind can greatly shorten the drying time. 🌟 If you place it near a dehumidifier, even the internal moisture will be removed cleanly. 🌟 It is safest to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area.
