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...

[Funke]

havent heard of that stuff
but i'll keep it in mind next time i go grocery shopping

i clean my hob and sink with that stuff! never occured to me to use it on laces

I think I might've gone to far with this, but all my shoes smell like cedar now LOL
       

[jam]

Wow how many have you got? Must have costed you abit.
I want one!

[pirate]

Just the one?

[The Marine]

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

[steve-o]

are they made in each size, or are they one size and can be adjusted to fit your shoe size?
wonder if we have anything like this is aus? awesome idea

[Shellshock]

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

[pokey27]

Hmm we have a costco near me!!might need to visit i need some of those meself.
Nice one marine

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.!)

[pokey27]

you have a point there phile!!maybe just get shoe tree's for the 1st 50 pairs seen as though there's a recession on
