🏃 Jogging in the Philippines: How to Keep Your Running Shoes in Top Shape

Jogging has become more than just a fitness trend in the Philippines — it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re hitting the pavement along Baywalk, the tracks of BGC, or your neighborhood in La Union, your running shoes take a daily beating. And just like your body needs rest and recovery, so do your kicks.

At SoleProtect, we don’t just clean sneakers — we help you protect your hustle. Here’s how to care for your joggers so they stay comfortable, durable, and always fresh.

✅ 1. Rotate Your Shoes

Don’t use the same pair of shoes for jogging every day. Alternate between 2 pairs to reduce wear and allow the foam to recover. This extends the lifespan of your sneakers and helps avoid injury.

✅ 2. Clean Off Dirt After Every Run

Dirt, mud, and sweat can break down materials faster, especially during the rainy season. After every jog:

  • Remove the insoles
  • Wipe down with a damp cloth
  • Air dry under shade (never under direct sunlight)

🧼 For deeper cleaning, schedule a professional wash with SoleProtect every few weeks.

✅ 3. Use Odor and Moisture Control

Running in a humid climate like the Philippines means sweaty feet are unavoidable.
Try these tips:

  • Use moisture-absorbing insoles
  • Spray a deodorizer after use
  • Store shoes in a well-ventilated area (not in a closed bag!)

✅ 4. Avoid Drying Under Direct Heat

Heat can melt adhesives and warp your shoes’ shape. If your jogging shoes get wet:

  • Stuff them with newspaper
  • Dry in a breezy, shaded area
  • Use a shoe tree to maintain shape

✅ 5. Know When It’s Time for a Shoe Reglue or Repair

Joggers with loose soles or worn-out midsoles don’t just look bad — they hurt your performance. If your shoe is:

  • Peeling apart
  • Losing grip
  • Feeling uncomfortable

It might be time for a shoe reglue or restoration. SoleProtect offers professional reglue, foam patching, and reconditioning services to get your shoes back in shape.
