  • I have recent gore-tex leather shoes that are soaking wet, is this normal?
    • Leather has a natural water resistance and comes with a waterproof treatment from the manufacturers.
      However, this film is destroyed little by little during use, and with prolonged wetness,
      the leather begins to absorb more moisture, which can cause damp feet.
      It is therefore advisable to clean and renew the waterproofing regularly, especially after very
      wet days. It is also important to lace up tightly.
  • If the shoes get soaked, can I dry them in the oven?
    • It is not recommended to dry shoes in the oven or put them on the stove. The leather then dries out,
      glue can come off and cracks can form, possibly causing leaks in the future.
