    Default Help with my shoes! PICS!!!

    so i cleaned and washed three pairs of my shoes. My air forces came out perfectly. My DC's and my Adidas' came out great, only the bottom part is kinda yellow (you can see in the pics.)

    Does anybody know any way to make them white again?

    LOLOL @ Jason. So random.

    it's a shoe. Who cares? Be smart, buy black shoes. I've had 3 pairs of black Shox for about 5-6 years now. Still in "mint" condition cus you can't see the little dirt specs.

    yes, but dont go to crazy with it or it will dry up and crack/flake off.

    Wash the area with warm water, let it dry. Then put a little bit on at a time on the dirty area, make sure to rub it in good before applying more.

    The only way to get it white again is to use white shoe polish(will look like crap) or white shoe paint(sold at shoe repair shops). Either way it will not look good again.

    The reason why it turned yellow is because on the air forces its painted white from the factory. Underneath the white paint is what you see, the yellow and most likely any other shoes with white soles were painted.

    As the shoes gets old it will turn yellow or if you wash them. Its time to just cop another pair.

    just curious, why worry about the bottom of your shoes? they're going to get dirty anyways when you wear them out again. hell, if you're really unlucky you might even step in dog poo like i did. i'm just saying.
