Denim bleed? Depends on what material it is, very difficult to get out though.

In future gaffer tape the inside of the seam

with your lack of detail should we assume you mean your shoes are getting sad?

you might try airing them out? maybe wearing better socks? do something about your athlete's foot?

i'm thinking 'gaffer tape' is either the same as the north american electrician's tape (black vinyl tape) or duct tape.

I suppose hockey tape might also work.

Is use bathroom cleaner on my white sneakers and it seems to get stains/dirt off quite well....just spray, run under warm water and clean with a soft toothbrush...

I always use "magic eraser" to remove denim bleed:

Cheap-as-chips!!

That magic eraser looks nice, probably can use it for other things too lol

Streak, I recommended the Magic Eraser to a girl at work because she got denim bleed on some new white adidas. She said that it took a while to be delivered, but it shifted the stains right out!
I have to get some of this stuff, as it is quite literally the mutts nuts!Laughing

Washing up liquid on a soft washing up brush seems to do the trick for me and a suede brush for any suedeShocked

picked me up one of those erasers the other day, even on my old shoe it effortlessly makes em shiny again Very Happy

Great stuff.
