 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just got round to looking at my boots on return from trip on saturday.
I want to put them away in the best possible condition, how do i best treat the liners i have up to now just remove from the boots to let them dry naturally I know any heat will distort them what is the best approach to avoid build up of smell bacteria etc?

When the inners are out give them a good spray with Febreze antibacterial, let them dry without getting too warm, then give them a bit of warmth, put the inners back and put the boots on and clip them up properly to make sure that everything is in the right place before they cool down. Finally store out of the light, in a cool place.

Jane L, I know this sounds an odd add on question, but is there an easy way of getting the liners back into the boots - mine are new front entry boots too. The chap in the shop popped them in and out several times, but I wasn't taking note of the technique he used. I took one out and had such a fight to get it back in that I was kind of put off the idea of ever taking them out again. It seemed so stiff and inflexible and 'damageable' does it matter if you crumple it a bit getting in back in?

Megamum, putting your arm inside the liner, and pushing your arm into the boot seems to do the trick for me.

Megamum, mine go in easier if I take the insoles out, put the liners in, and then put the liners back in.
My boots get bunged in their bag, and then into whichever dark hole I can find to store them in. If you could weaponise them, they would be banned in most civilised countries.

Megamum - I haven't fully mastered the technique of putting the inner back in yet , but I get plenty of practice. It's certainly much easier if the inner is very warm, but you must press the heel down well around the edges then get your foot in quickly. The time that hubby put them back for me hot and just left them with the sides squeezed together to cool was extremely uncomfortable, and they took months to recover their shape. Certainly it's easiest to take any insole out first.
I'm a dry slope skier, with a lot of uphill walking looking after a group of tinies every week, also every so often spend a full, hot day teaching, so my boots are in regular need of attention or they get very embarrassing. The inners come out about every two weeks now, about 50 or so times so far altogether, and they're still comfortable and they still fit.
