Canvas shoes are timeless, versatile, and most importantly, comfortable. However, they are also known for being susceptible to stains and wear and tear. In this blog post, we will share some tips on how to protect and prolong the life of your canvas shoes.
1. Use a shoe protector spray
Consider using a shoe protector spray specifically designed for canvas shoes. These sprays create a protective barrier that repels water and stains. Spray your new shoes with it and let them dry before stepping outside. Reapply every few weeks for the best results.
2. Clean regularly
The key to keeping your canvas shoes looking fresh is regular cleaning. A gentle hand wash with warm water and mild soap will help remove dirt and stains. Use a toothbrush to scrub the soles and hard-to-reach areas. Make sure to air dry them after cleaning.
3. Avoid harsh conditions
Avoid wearing your canvas shoes in harsh weather or rough terrains. Water, snow, and mud can quickly ruin your shoes. If you can’t avoid these conditions, make sure you clean your shoes as soon as possible after exposure.
4. Store properly
Proper storage can significantly extend the life of your canvas shoes. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Placing crumpled newspaper inside the shoes can help maintain their shape and absorb any excess moisture.
5. Use a canvas repair kit
If your canvas shoes get a hole or tear, don’t panic. A canvas repair kit can fix the damage. These kits often include patches, adhesive, and other materials you’ll need to repair your shoes.
By following these tips, you can keep your canvas shoes in top shape for as long as possible. Remember, prevention is always better than cure when it comes to shoe care.
