Sole cracking is indeed a headache, but don't worry, I'll analyze five common causes and corresponding solutions for you.


‌Common Causes‌


‌Material Issues‌:

The quality of the sole material is not up to standard, and cracks can easily appear.

Over time, materials like rubber or PU in the sole gradually lose their elasticity and become brittle.

‌Wear and Overuse‌:

Wearing shoes for a long time or walking on uneven surfaces will cause varying degrees of wear on the sole.

Especially for shoes like running shoes that are used frequently, the sole material can easily become fatigued.


‌Temperature Changes‌:

When winter temperatures are low, the sole material contracts quickly and is prone to cracking.

In summer, when temperatures are high, the expansion of the sole material may also lead to cracking.

(Oxidation of shoes under environmental factors)

‌Improper Use‌:

Prolonged standing or walking, using shoes for sports rather than casual wear, etc., can accelerate the wear and aging of the sole.

Keeping shoes in a damp environment for a long time can make the sole material deteriorate, become brittle, and prone to cracking.


‌Environmental Factors‌:

Long-term exposure to sunlight accelerates the aging process of the sole material due to UV rays.

Mineral oils can also accelerate the aging of the sole material, leading to cracking.

Improper storage of shoes, such as keeping them in damp or temperature-fluctuating environments for a long time, can also affect the sole.

Solutions


‌Choose Quality Materials‌:

When purchasing shoes, pay attention to selecting soles that are of good quality and made from superior materials.

‌Reasonable Use and Maintenance‌:

Choose appropriate occasions for use based on the frequency of use and material of the shoes to avoid excessive wear.

Regularly check the condition of the shoes and address any issues promptly.

Keep shoes dry and use desiccants or shoe trees to help maintain their dry state.

In wet weather or environments, consider applying waterproof treatment to the shoes.


‌Adapt to Temperature Changes‌:

During seasons with significant temperature fluctuations, pay attention to the storage environment of the shoes to avoid sole cracking due to temperature changes.

(Adding a box can prevent oxidation)

‌Store Shoes Correctly‌:

Choose a dry, moderately tempered place to store shoes to avoid them becoming damp or exposed to extreme temperatures.

(Putting desiccants next to shoes can reduce oxidation)

‌Professional Repair and Replacement‌:

If cracks appear in the sole, they can be repaired using special shoe glue.

If the cracks are too severe or irreparable, it is recommended to replace the sole or purchase new shoes.
