Dry Properly: Use a towel to pat the slides dry. Avoid wringing or twisting them, as this can damage the material.
Maintaining Water Resistance:
-
Regular Cleaning: Regularly clean your slides as outlined above to remove dirt and debris that can affect water resistance.
-
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaners, as these can damage the water-resistant coating.
-
Dry Properly: After exposure to water, allow your slides to air dry completely before wearing them again. This helps maintain their water resistance.
-
Reapply Water Repellent: If you notice that the water resistance is diminishing, you can reapply a water repellent spray specifically designed for EVA foam.
Tips for Longevity:
- Store your slides in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Avoid exposing your slides to extreme temperatures, as this can affect their durability.
- Rotate your slides with other footwear to allow them to air out and prevent odors.
- If your slides get wet, stuff them with newspaper to help absorb excess moisture and speed up the drying process.
By following these simple steps, you can keep your Sharky Slides™ looking and feeling like new for many adventures to come!
