When you're walking for fitness, you rely on your toes for push off to get that extra spring in your stride. This is best accomplished when your toes have enough room to spread out a bit so they can push off strongly. Shoe care Walking shoes don't always do well if wet. After a damp walk or a long, sweaty one, loosen the shoelaces and allow the shoes to air dry by a window or in an open space. Do not place shoes in a dryer or near a direct heat source.
Heat can break down or melt components of the shoe.
If shoes are particularly wet, stuff them with tissue paper or newspaper and leave to air dry. All rights reserved.
