Firefighter shoes are essential equipment to ensure your daily safety and comfort during your physical preparation and interventions. To ensure their effectiveness and durability, it is important to take care and polish them.
Follow our advice to preserve your pair of shoes and maximize their performance.
Avoid excessive humidity
and store them properly
Humidity after operations can damage the leather and alter the comfort of the shoes. Be sure to dry them properly after using them in wet conditions.
- No drying next to a direct heat source (avoid sliding them under the radiator, for example)
- Open the shoe zippers wide for a maximum ventilation
- Let your shoe dry naturally, in the open air
The use of a drying and disinfecting cabinet is possible, and even recommended.
Avoid piling up your shoes or placing them under heavy objects that could alter their shape. Place them on a flat surface, preferably on their soles, to maintain their natural shape. Avoid leaving them lying down, as this could cause unwanted deformations.

the leather regularly
