    Deodorize Boots

    To remove foul odors from boots and shoes, spray with ReviveX® Footwear Odor Eliminator Spray. Thoroughly spray all surfaces – inside and out, including the tongue where odor causing bacteria likes to hide.

    Deodorize Sandals

    Eliminate strong water sandal odors by scrubbing the footbed in a sink or bucket of MiraZyme™ treated water. Allow to dry (the MiraZyme microbes work as the sandal dries) then put them in the freezer overnight to eliminate any last traces of “funk”.

    Use Freesole to Repair Boot Panels

    Repair torn leather and fabric panels with Freesole. Carefully apply Freesole to both sides of torn area with brush. Press to close and hold in place with clear packing tape overnight.

• Making a Toe Cap

  • 
  • 

    Step 1:

    Climbers and hikers create tough toe caps with Freesole to protect boots from sharp rocks and crampons.
    Start with a clean, dry boot. Stuff newspaper tightly inside the boot toe area. Apply tape tightly across toe to create straight edge. Lightly sand the toe area with sandpaper, then buff aggressively with a rag dipped in rubbing alcohol. Allow to dry and buff a second time with rubbing alcohol.

    Step 2:

    Paint the surface with Freesole. Be sure to cover all areas between the sole and the tape. Freesole will self level and become smooth.

    Step 3:

    Wait 45 minutes, then peel off tape. Do not leave tape on longer! Allow your new toe cap to cure completely overnight.
