Season: How to protect shoes for the summer

We’ve been waiting for so long. And finally, the sandal season is here. Whether it’s drinks with friends, barbecue in the park, exploring vibrant markets or dancing at a muddy festival, summer days are for creating memories outdoors with friends and families.

But a dark cloud can overshadow these fantastic memories if the shoes get dirty or damaged. This disappointment cannot be described in words. Therefore, it is essential for all shoe enthusiasts, sneakerheads or anyone wanting to take care of their summer footwear to have a proper shoe protection routine.

As the sunny weather beckons us to stay outside more, winter boots are replaced with sandals, canvas shoes and sneakers. Most summer shoes are often made from more sensitive material and are more delicate regarding the weather.

Nothing can beat the summer fun as ruined shoes; After just a few days outside, white sneakers quickly become too old to look at. Grass and muddy puddles stick on the shoes and fade out the colour in time. The harsh sun also changed colourful sandals. Sand, ice cream and drinks stick to sandals and quietly ruin the material. Sweat stains and black prints on the inner soles from saltwater leave unsightly marks.

For these reasons, it is important to take proper care of your summer shoes and prepare them for the summer weather. How can you do it easily and properly?

The answer is simple; IMBOX them.

IMBOX is an innovative and effective way to protect your shoes, offered as an in-store service that takes less than a minute. IMBOX is the easy, convenient, and professional way to ensure that your summer shoes – or any other shoes for that matter – will withstand any weather challenges.

IMBOX ensures that your summer shoes keep their fresh appearance, and you will prolong the life and quality of the shoe.

The treatment is Allergy-certified, PFAS-free and further the liquid is 100% free from carcinogens and Nanotechnology. This is a part of our promise to you, that you safely can wear the newly IMBOXed shoes without worrying.

The shoes will be placed inside the IMBOX machine where the treatment will proceed. A layer with the IMBOX treatment is sprayed evenly on the shoes. Covering the shoes inside a chamber further ensures safety.
