i haven't had any problems with toothpaste so far - i would try not to leave it on too long on the uppers, especially if they're not white, though.
bought some 'shoe shampoo' the other day. it's foam in a can with a brush on the lid. haven't tried it yet, but a work mate swears by it.

i have a can of "shoe shampoo", its ok, but the plastic brush on the top isnt good for stitching, it kinda frays it
