I'd say 98 times out of a 100, my Supes can go straight back in their box as fresh as when I put 'em on...unless it's white canvas, which is guaranteed to need a clean.
London Underground is a bitch with the dirt, though. Whenever I pass through there I know any lighter colour shoes will need cleaning when I'm done.
Don't think I'll ever have a pair of Supes I'll use as beaters. Before I got on here I had nuff non-Supes and from those, I've got about 5 different pairs of beaters - if it's gonna be a grim day or I know I'm going somewhere where mans will step on feet or spill pints etc, I'll wear something I don't care about enough to ever have to clean 'em.
You've got a smooth continuity going on there over the past few days sk8! Nice.
Oh and i don't clean my supes obsessively either but nevertheless when i get home, i tend to remove any excessive dirt that has got onto them during the day. The weather and ground conditions here are rarely pure sunshine and dry tarmac/concrete to walk on so some dirt is inevitable in the process every damn day. If i wouldn't clean my shoes at all, they'd all look pretty terrible now.
Doing nothing is very hard to do... you never know when you're finished.
