Drying football boots

Training, competitions, or a football game for fun: you can regularly be found on the football field. You often come home with wet football boots. Super annoying, because you don't want to wear wet shoes for your next football game. Of course, you want them to dry quickly, without damaging your expensive football boots. In this blog, we give you the best tips for drying and maintaining your football boots!

Dry your football boots quickly

You come home with wet football boots, so you decide to stuff them with newspapers, put them on the heater or even throw them in the dryer. Whoa, stop, whoa! Did you know that this is bad for your football boots?

Drying with newspapers takes far too long, so there is a good chance that your football boots will still be wet when you put them on again. That is anything but comfortable and motivating. In addition, wet shoes wear out faster.

Should you put it on the heater or throw it in the dryer? No, not a good idea either. The high temperatures can cause your football boots to deform. The glue that holds parts of your shoes together can also melt. In short: those expensive football boots will be damaged and deformed in no time. This is a shame and can also cause additional injuries.

Shoefresh Opod for drying your football boots

Fortunately, there is a way to quickly dry your football boots without damaging your shoes. The Shoefresh Opod is a shoe dryer that also cleans your shoes from the inside. The warm air and powerful fan ensure that your shoes are completely dry within an hour. In addition, the Opod generates active oxygen that tackles bacteria and fungi. This way the smell will also disappear from your shoes.

Drying your football boots with the Shoefresh Opod is really easy and fast.

Step 1: Clean the outside of your football boots

Step 2: Choose the right program to dry your football boots

The Shoefresh Opod has 3 handy programs that you can choose from. You select the program on the display:
Sports (60min - 60ºC): for very wet shoes
Sneaker (30 min - 60ºC): for damp shoes

Are your football boots soaked? Then you may have to dry your shoes twice with the sports program.
