How to Maintain Athletic Shoes During Summer Training

When summer training heats up, so does the wear and tear on your athletic shoes. Sweat, dirt, and outdoor elements can quickly turn fresh kicks into worn-out trainers. Especially without the use of a reliable shoe cleaner.

That’s why practicing proper shoe care during the summer months is essential—not only to keep your shoes looking sharp but also to extend their life and performance. 

With the right routine and the Shoe MGK Clean & Protect Kit in your corner, maintaining your athletic shoes during summer training becomes simple and effective.

How to Clean Athletic Shoes for Summer Training with the Shoe MGK Clean & Protect Kit

Summer means more time spent outdoors—whether you’re hitting the track, running drills on the field, or pushing through workouts at the park.

Without regular care, grime builds up, colors fade, and materials break down faster. That’s why incorporating a summer-specific shoe care routine is a smart move for any athlete or fitness enthusiast.

The first step to maintaining your athletic shoes during summer training is to clean them regularly. After a few intense sessions, dirt and sweat can soak into your shoes, leading to odors and material breakdown. Use the Shoe MGK Cleaner and Conditioner from the Clean & Protect Kit to tackle the mess.

Apply a small amount of the shoe cleaner to the included brush and gently scrub your shoes, focusing on areas with built-up grime and stains. This powerful yet gentle formula is safe for a variety of materials, from mesh and knit to leather and rubber. After scrubbing, wipe your shoes clean with a cloth and let them air dry completely. Regular cleaning not only keeps your shoes looking fresh but also prevents long-term damage.

Maintaining your athletic shoes during summer training isn’t a one-time fix—it’s a habit. Make it part of your post-workout routine to give your shoes a quick wipe-down and reapply the Shoe MGK Water and Stain Repellent as needed.

Once your shoes are clean and dry, it’s time to shield them from summer’s harsh elements. The Shoe MGK Water and Stain Repellent forms a protective barrier that repels water, dirt, and stains, making your shoes easier to maintain between cleanings.

Simply spray an even coat over the entire shoe, ensuring full coverage, and allow it to dry thoroughly before wearing. This extra layer of protection is especially helpful during summer training sessions where unexpected puddles, muddy fields, and dusty tracks are part of the routine.
