What is a sole protector and why do we need to use it?
- Sole protector is made of PEVA material.
- It protects solely from drags, dirt, paint fading, yellowing, &, etc.
- It gives more grip to the sole of your shoes.
- The shoe's sole will still be in good condition for reselling.
- The sole protector comes with a self-adhesive and is easy to install.
Note: It is recommended to use a heat gun for the best result of installation.
* Dimensions: L= 76cm x W= 15cm x T=0.1cm
Alcohol & Cotton for wiping sole
1. Make sure the bottoms of your shoes have been cleaned and dried (if they are deadstock - skip cleaning step).
2. Use alcohol to prep the bottom of the shoe and about 1/8 inch up the side of the rubber out sole and let it dry.
3. Place sole protector material sheet with the white side up on a flat surface.
4. Place the shoe on the material and trace the outline with a pen.
5. When cutting out the shape with scissors, carefully cut approximately 1/8 inch extra outside the traced shape of the shoe (this leaves enough material for the sole protector to go up the side of the shoe just a bit).
6. Turn the shoe upside down .
7. Peel the white paper off the Sole Protector sheet (IMPORTANT: Do NOT let the adhesive touch anything but the bottom of the shoes).
8. Place the adhesive side down on the sole of the shoe with equal amount of material hanging off all sides of the shoe (front, back, and both sides).
9. Turn the shoe upright and set it on your flat surface.
10. Plug in your heat gun (IMPORTANT: Heat guns are HOT! NEVER point the heat gun at your skin or anything other than your Sole Protector material. Keep the heat gun moving to avoid prolonged heating).
11. Pick up the shoe and turn it upside down with the sole protector facing you.
12. Holding the heat gun 4-6 inches away from the shoe, start in the middle slowly moving it back and forth over the Sole Protector sheet for approximately 10 seconds
13. Set the heat gun down carefully, and use your fingers to press the sole protector material to the curves of the bottom of the shoe in the middle avoiding the edges for now (The material will form to the shape of the bottom of the shoe)
14. Once you have the middle of the Sole Protector material formed to the sole of the shoe, use the heat gun, again staying 4-6 inches away, to form the edges
15. As the edges heat up, apply pressure with your fingers to form the material up around the side of the shoe.
16. Follow this process until the sole protector is completely adhered to the sole of your shoe.
17. Repeat steps 2 through 16 for the right shoe.
18. Allow the shoes to cool down and inspect the edges and bottom to ensure proper adhesion- repeat steps 11-16 on either shoe as necessary.
