2. Be careful not to let this product get wet. It is strictly prohibited to use it after it gets wet . Once it gets wet , place it in a ventilated and cool place to dry naturally to avoid deformation and damage to the leather shoes . After the soles are punctured by foreign objects, they cannot be used as insulating leather shoes.
