<br>让你的靴子保持长的使用寿命
<br>用下面我们专家的建议把你的靴子像对婴儿似地对待。

<br>“在使用之后总是清洁你的靴子，”戴夫 佩奇说，Dave Page的所有者和经理，一个西雅图修鞋匠，一个主要从事为大的零售商和制造厂商修理和授权担保的中心。“把它们放在一个多用途水槽里，用一个旧的蔬菜刷子擦洗它们。它们通常在回家时已经是湿的了，这样水可以小点。拿走鞋垫。在正常室温下晾干靴子，不可以加热。如果它们看起来很干就要做防水处理或者皮革调节剂。现在靴子的鞋底是用胶粘牢的，它们并不太防水，不要有任何，我的意思是任何加热，因为这可能导致鞋底边缘脱胶。”
<br>
<br>“靴子在相当大的程度上是免维修的和耐久的，” Vasque的Rick Applesies说，“但是当你把一双靴子弄得湿透了并且粘满了泥，当泥变干它会从皮革中吸收大量的水分。这样在清洁和晾干后，使用硅树脂类皮革处理剂修理皮革。硅树脂类比蜡类处理剂的吸收能力更强，并且不会阻塞气孔或者抑制皮革的透气性。像貂油之类的东西更多是软化皮革。当靴子的皮革被硝皮（用树皮、矿物盐、单宁或替代物通过浸泡将生皮制成革），经常多次在皮革加入硬化剂，你并不想失去所有的支撑吧！”
<br>
<br>“永远不要把你的靴子放在火或炉子旁边，” Danner鞋业制造公司的戴夫 史密斯警告说。“如果把它们放得太近，有两件事情可能发生。第一，你可能会烤焦或者熔化或者烧着原材料的；第二，湿的皮革在它们干的时候会收缩，靴子的合适性将会被改变。最后，在与杀虫剂、除草剂和任何其它化学药剂一起时不要穿着靴子，因为它们会导致鞋底脱落。”

<br>A Long Life For Your Boots
<br>
<br>Baby your boots with our expert advice below.
<br>By Steve Howe
<br>
<br>Always clean your boots after use," says Dave Page, owner-manager of Dave Page, Cobbler in Seattle, a major repair and warranty center for large retailers and manufacturers. "Take them to a utility sink and scrub them with an old veggie brush. They usually come home wet, so water's fine. Remove the footbeds. Dry the boots at normal room temperature, with no heat. Put a waterproofing treatment or a leather conditioner on them if they look dry. With modern, cemented-sole boots, don't overwaterproof them, and don't use any, I mean any, heat, because it can cause the sole edges to delaminate."
<br>
<br>"Boots are pretty maintenance-free and durable," says Rick Applesies of Vasque. "But when you get a boot saturated and muddy, the mud draws a lot of moisture out of the leather as it dries. So after cleaning and drying, use a silicone-based leather treatment to recondition the leather. Silicones are absorbed better than wax treatments and don't tend to clog pores or inhibit leather breathability as much. Things like mink oil will soften leather too much. When boot leathers are tanned, often times stiffeners are put into the leather, and you don't want to lose all the support."
<br>
<br>"Never put your boots next to a fire or stove," cautions Dave Smith of Danner Shoe Manufacturing Co. "Two things can happen. Put 'em too close, and you singe or melt or burn the materials. Second, wet leathers will shrink as they dry, and the boot's fit will change. Finally, don't wear your boots when working with pesticides, herbicides, and any other chemicals, since they can cause a sole to peel.
