Important To Keep Shoe Insoles Clean

The lifespan of a shoe insole can vary significantly depending on the intensity of use and how well it is taken care of. Shoe insoles that are used for long hours in a single day absorb moisture and dirt more regularly and must be cleaned regularly. Shoe inserts are made out of certain materials such as cloth, which can be spoiled by water, hence it is very important to use the appropriate materials when cleaning orthotic insoles. Cleaning is very important to make sure that the insoles do not absorb too much moisture and are not stained by too much dirt.

An important part of prolonging the lifespan of the shoe insoles is to keep it dry at all times, even though most shoe insoles have moisture absorbent technology built into the insoles, it is important to keep the plantar fasciitis insoles dry to ensure that moisture does not seep through the insoles. If shoe insoles are dirty it must be cleaned with mild detergent using a towel, it is not recommended to soak the shoe insert in water, otherwise there would be permanent damage.

Keeping Shoe Inserts Clean Requires Correct Techniques

Therefore, it is better to either alternate between two different types of shoe insoles, so that one pair is not used excessively and does not wear away too quickly or absorb lots of moisture. Hence, alternating between two pairs of shoe inserts makes it easier to keep high arch insoles clean, while also prolonging the lifespan of the plantar fasciitis inserts. Using more than one insole makes it easier to have the right type of insole for the right type of shoe, for example, shoe insoles for dress shoes are different than orthotic inserts for casual shoes.

If the insoles are soaked in water, owners must take action by drying the orthotic inserts quickly, using a towel and leaving it out to dry in open air. When leaving boot insoles out to dry it is important not to leave the shoe insoles to dry near areas releasing excess heat, these places include close to camp fires, radiators or stoves. This is because most insoles are made out of either gel or rubber which can melt when exposed to high temperatures. Therefore, it is very important to make sure that shoe insoles are not left in hot areas for long periods of time.
