National Camping Month: Best Practices for Cleaning Hiking Footwear

June is National Camping Month—a time when outdoor enthusiasts lace up their hiking boots and hit the trails. But after a few days in the wild, even the toughest footwear can take a beating from mud, dust, and moisture. 

That’s why proper shoe cleaner is essential, not just to keep your hiking shoes looking good but to extend their lifespan and performance. Whether you’re trekking through rocky terrain or relaxing by the campfire, keeping your footwear clean and protected ensures every adventure starts on the right foot.

At Shoe MGK, we know that great adventures deserve great care. Our Shoe MGK Complete Kit is the perfect companion for every camper, with everything you need to clean, protect, and refresh your hiking shoes after a long day outdoors.

Get Your Shoes Camping Ready with the Shoe MGK Cleaner and Conditioner

Camping trips mean exposure to dirt, mud, and all kinds of debris that can wear down your shoes if not properly cleaned. 

Start your shoe care routine by using the Shoe MGK Cleaner and Conditioner. Gently scrub away the layers of grime with the included brush, working the shoe cleaner into the fabric, leather, or mesh. This step not only restores your shoes’ appearance but also prevents dirt particles from breaking down the materials over time. 

Remember: a clean shoe is a long-lasting shoe. For best results, clean your footwear after every major hike or camping trip.

How to Protect Camping Shoes with the Shoe MGK Water and Stain Repellent

Once your shoes are spotless, it’s time to shield them from the elements. The wilderness is unpredictable—rain, puddles, and morning dew can all seep into your shoes, leading to discomfort and damage. 

Apply the Shoe MGK Water and Stain Repellent evenly across the entire shoe. This creates a barrier that repels water and resists stains, keeping your shoes dry and protected no matter where your camping adventures take you. Reapply regularly, especially after cleaning or heavy exposure to moisture.
