Speaking of sailing shoes, I believe you are familiar with them. Boating shoes can be said to be a very popular shoe in summer. They are light and comfortable, and not as casual as sandals. So, how should you take care of sailing shoes? Is it waterproof? Now, let the editor of Quliu.com tell you how to take care of sailing shoes.

How to take care of sailing shoes

Use a soft brush to clean sailing shoes. You can use a leather shoe brush or a soft-bristle brush to gently brush away dust, dirt, or debris from your shoes.

Steam clean shoes. Use a steamer or kettle with hot water. Make sure the steam is about 30.5 cm away from the sailing shoes to loosen dirt from the shoes.

Use a special suede eraser to wipe the shoes, especially stains and blemishes. Wipe these stained areas with a suede eraser to clean them.

Brush the shoes again. Use the same soft-bristled brush to gently brush the shoes. Brushing the shoes at this step will help raise the tiny, protruding bristles that give suede and cowhide boat shoes their signature texture. These fine hairs are called "nap" (referring to the fuzz on the surface of the leather).

Spray protective spray on boat shoes. Spray a thin layer of protective sealant as directed on Leather Protective Spray, making sure to cover the entire shoe.

Are the laces of sailing shoes waterproof

The laces of sailing shoes are not waterproof. If they wash off and cannot be put on again, find a thread or thin wire, fold the laces in half and pull them through. You can also use a needle to thread a piece of thread through one end of the shoelace to guide it through. That’s how my boat shoes work.

The origin of boat shoes

Boat Shoes as we know them today are actually a variant of the classic loafer. Loafer originally means "loafer" and is based on classic leisure elements. The soles must be flat and made of soft leather for easy putting on and taking off.

In 1935, American Paul Sperry designed and improved special sailing shoes for his beloved sailing sport. At that time, owning your own sailboat was a standard choice for the upper class elite in the United States. Paul Sperry used knife-cut patterns to enhance the slip resistance of the soles, making this shoe quickly popular among the upper class society at that time.

In the 1980s, boat shoes became a symbol of fashion in Europe and the United States. The image of those Southern California beaches wearing only khaki shorts, retro bowling shirts and bare feet with boat shoes suddenly became a symbol of pure American men's leisure.
