4. Dry. Put the shoe polish in the sterilizing oven for 3 minutes after polishing. The temperature is about 50-70 ℃. The hot air in the sterilizing oven makes the oil better soak into the leather. If the shoes are too dirty, use decontamination cream several times, so you have to dry them before oiling them, because decontamination cream also contains water.
6. After the new shoes are bought back, sometimes it is not easy to get on the feet. Do not force it. Use the shoe puller to help.

7. Why can't you wear leather shoes in rainy days? Leather shoes, whether real leather or imitation leather, can not be washed with water (except for the special waterproof leather). The waterproof performance of leather shoes is poor, the leather is afraid of water, and the adhesive has degradation effect when encountering water, so the glue will be opened. And the insole of leather shoes can't stand blisters, even if it's sewn leather shoes, it will be moldy and easy to break when encountering water. After the leather is soaked and dried by water, it will lose the grease. If you don't pay attention to supplement the grease, the leather fiber will be broken and broken after a long time.
