I just won a pair of used underworlds off the bay and they just arrived in. They are a little banged up but not as bad as it appeared in the pictures. Got a number of different sneaker cleaners and was wondering if anyone who owns/owned a pair had any suggestions on the cleaning, it would be much appreciated. I'll post the pics as soon as I've got them all cleaned up.

i'd start with a toothbrush and warm water to get the worst of the muck off. from there I have used a bit of toothpaste, but always quick to wash it off.

zwer are these all leather or is there a special coating on them for the 3M reflection?

They feel like they have a plasticy coating but I don't think you'd need to take any uber-special care. I'm not sure if I'd use a toothbrush as marks/scratches show up a lot (especially under flash) but a cloth and elbow grease should be fine

Kwimbie, I think it's a 3m coating over leather or something like that.
