[Teaj]

Toothpaste works well, especially on the midsole/shells....

Toothpaste worked excellent so far!!I'd recommend it and i'm deffo gonna give the goofys a try with it as well.
Why u say risky sin?? no1 else mentions risk and i made sure as its my 1st real go @ cleaning i read the full thread!!a damp cloth was never gonna cut it with these,but there coming along gr8

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.

[Samo]

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

[Lorrie]

good to know, sam. i guess i'll stick with a toothbrush, then.

been seeing ads for the magic eraser on the tv. might have to try that too.

[pokey27]

The last time i went to footlocker some dude rubbed a shoe erazer on my suede timbalands gotta say it was pretty impressive got all the denim bleed out.Ill probo pick 1 up on my next visit

[Samo]

the magic eraser is awesome! i bought one and it works really well, but you do have to persevre with it (it wont wipe it all away in a flash)

[pokey27]

Okay well after dabbling with these for afew days when i had chance i gotta say i think i just saved meself £100+ trying to replace em i think i just about saved em using 1.toothpaste,babywipes,oxy-gen,microfibre cloth and ALOT of elbow grease
