If the edge of the microfabric sports shoes we wear is white, it will turn yellow after a long time, which will affect the appearance. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is difficult to deal with the yellowing of the white edge of the sports shoes. In fact, as long as the method is correct, it is not so difficult to deal with. The following microfabric sports shoes manufacturers will introduce to you a few methods to deal with the yellowing of the white shoe edges of sports shoes, hoping to solve certain problems for people who like to do it themselves, especially shoe laundries and dry cleaners.

When we deal with the yellowing of the microfabric sports shoes, we must first find out the cause of the yellowing of the sports shoes. To sum up, there are two main reasons for the yellowing of the white edge of sports shoes:
1. The edge of the sneaker is made of rubber, and the whole body is white. After a long time, natural oxidation occurs, causing the white edge to turn yellow. Due to oxidation and yellowing of the shoe edge, because the whole body has been oxidized and turned yellow, cleaning alone will not have any effect.
2. The edge of the sneaker is made of foam material. The bottom color of the shoe edge and the edge of the shoe are not the same color. The white is just a layer of coating on the edge of the shoe. After a long time, the coating will fall off due to friction, revealing the bottom color. The yellowing of the white edge of these sports shoes or other colors are caused by the exposed base color.
In view of the above two reasons for the yellowing of the white edge of sports shoes, we can take different treatment methods.
The edge of the sneaker is made of rubber, and the rubber is yellowed due to oxidation. (redox method):
1. Rinse the white side of the sneaker with a stiff brush, preferably with a solvent-based cleaner (such as banana water). Because solvent-based cleaners can slightly dissolve the rubber, applying a cotton swab to the edge of the shoe with solvent can remove stains from the edge of the shoe. However, when using this type of solvent, pay attention to protect the upper, so as not to apply the solvent to the upper and cause damage to the upper. You can use textured paper to stick the part other than the edge of the shoe.
2. Modulation of redox agent (can be purchased in the market). The redox agent is usually in paste and powder form. It is necessary to mix the two together to form a paste. The ratio is generally 2:1, that is, two parts of paste are added to one part of powder. After stirring evenly, if it is too dry, it can be added. A little water. After blending, take it with a cotton swab and spread it evenly on the edge of the shoe to cover the edge of the shoe, but it should not be too thick. Wear gloves when applying to avoid corrosion.
3. Leave the shoes coated with the redox agent for 2-3 hours, and use a brush to remove the covering. The yellow shoe edge will obviously turn white. If the effect is not satisfactory, you can apply it several times.
Although the redox method can make the edge of the shoe white to a certain extent, it is impossible to restore it to the same as the new shoe. Everyone should understand this.
The edge of the microfabric sports shoes is foam, and the white edge is discolored due to the peeling of the coating. (spraying method):
For this type of sports shoes, we cannot use redox agents to restore the original color, because it is not discolored due to oxidation of the edge of the shoe. For such shoes, we often use the spray method, that is, spray a layer of white paint on the edge of the shoe to cover the base color and make the edge of the shoe white.
1. Spray oil-based paint. Oil-based paint is similar to paint, but it is specific to footwear and is not the same substance as paint. After the oil-based paint is sprayed, the surface is brighter, the color appears distorted, and the oil-based paint has no elasticity, and if the shoe edge is hard, it is easy to crack. Spraying oil-based paint requires the use of a spray gun, which is relatively complicated to operate. The color fastness of oil-based paints is not very strong. Given these deficiencies of oil-based paints, spraying with oil-based paints is not recommended.
2. Apply a whitening agent on the edge of the shoe. microfabric sports shoes shoe edge brightener is similar to correction fluid, which is more convenient to use, but its biggest disadvantage is that the color fastness is extremely poor. Brighteners can be used as a temporary remedy.
3. Spray the edge oil with color paste. The edge oil has strong elasticity. After adding white color paste to the edge oil and spraying the shoe edge, it will not crack, and the adhesion of the edge oil is relatively strong, which solves the color fastness of oil-based coatings and whitening agents. Not strong problem. The side oil is not afraid of seeing water, and if the side of the shoe is dirty, there is no need to worry about the coating falling off. It is an ideal spraying method.
The above three spraying methods can restore the discolored shoe edge, but after all, only a layer of coating is made on the edge of the microfabric sports shoes, and the color fastness of this coating is definitely not as good as the original coating of sports shoes. If it is at home, it is more convenient to use shoe edge brightener, but it needs to be applied frequently. If it is a shoe laundromat, it is best to use edge oil mixed with color paste to cover and spray. The effect of this is ideal in terms of color fidelity and color fastness.
