well solecollector has produced a pretty extensive guide on
cleaning/restoring shoes
there's a good guide on how to use sea glow as well
just use the search function on your web browser to find what you're after in that massive thread.
lol
eg. search denim/suede/sea
yeah, props to the members of ISS for that =p

I tried the Bar Keepers Friend on white laces tip listed in that thread and it works pretty good. It doesn't take all the stains outta the laces but it brightens then up so much that the stains arent noticeable...

oh yea! two pairs in each box. They were $19.95 last time I went into costco, so I only bought one box. Just went back yesterday and they were marked a $9.95!!!!!!

Think I bought 10 boxes. Hand crafted real cedar and they fit soops perfectly! Bought the first box to put them in my lux's.... keeps the leather nice, no creases. For a little under $100 I got 20 pairs. Now that's a deal! All my soops smell good and will never bend or crease

Damn Marine, that really makes my "scrunched up old plastic bags stuffed inside" technique seem totally ghetto.

I've been having a go a cleaning the two pairs of daily beaters, so far I've found that mixing together
some bicarb
some vanish/oxy clean stain remover (powdered)
and some boiling water
take a sturdy bristle brush (toothbrush takes too long)
and some elbow grease
seems to do the trick!
ps - to stop the soops smelling, any good tips? - do those sneaker balls really work?

Marine,
Those are frackin awesome! One problem though, if I were to use these for all my kicks, even at $9.95 a box, that would still cost me $696.50 (I imagine that the shipping costes to get them sent to the UK would be quite a bit as well.!)
