Does anyone know of a decent to good method for cleaning dirt stains from white leather tennis shoes?
Saddle soaps,
Detergents,
Bleach,
etc...
Thanks.

Yeah sure do,
Step 1) Remove Shoes
Step 2) Put both shoes in trash can
Step 3) Buy new shoes u cheap bastard
or some soap and water will do the trick. ;)

Just throw them in the washer with some old towels and regular detergent. Semi-dry in the dryer. Good as new ;)

Thank you, highness.
Your information always proves to be good.
I would have asked you about this in the first place had I been aware of your skill in these matters.
I think my foot rubbed under the rocker panel of my truck while I was climbing in.
I’ve only worn the shoes a handful of times to the gym so they’re incredibly bright white with this damn dirty spot that looks even more noticeable by comparison.
I guess I’m doing okay, though, if the biggest worry in my life right now is a spot on a shoe.
Could've been worse...
I could have been a presidential intern with a spot on a dress!

Westleys bleach white (for white shoes) or any general purpose cleaner from an autoparts store that works on plastics and leather will work followed by some leather protectant- presto new shoes

Thanks for the tip.
A couple of times I used some regular old bleach on a pair of white Otomix wrestling shoes.
It cleaned them up a bit, but was really harsh on the leather.
They were old and I didn’t care much anyway.
The stuff you recommend probably does a better job both cleaning and protecting the leather.

Montague,
I own quite a bit of leather from clothes, shoes, boots, furniture, and lord knows how many purses, so I've tried quite a bit when it comes to cleaning & protecting leather. The 2 best leather cleaners and protectors I've ever come across are Danier Leather cleaner, and
(http://www.jme.myffi.biz/images/PRODUCT/medium/126.jpg)
Eco Vinyl & Leather™ (http://www.jme.myffi.biz/p-126-eco-vinyl-and-leather.aspx) from FFi.
ECO Vinyl & Leather Conditioner™ is a water-based cleaner & protector for all leather and vinyl types. It nourishes leather and vinyl with a rich formula of lanolin and natural oils which are quickly absorbed into the hide leaving a non-greasy, satin finish that actually repels dirt and moisture. It's not a dressing; it is a cleaner and conditioner that can be used on many types of leather.
Product Features:
- Leaves no greasy residue
- Contains no silicones
- Protects vinyl from cracking
- Water-resistant, durable
- Soothes leather
- Breathes new life into older leather
- Contains no harsh ingredients
- Releases oils to restore necessary moisture in vinyl
- Won’t accelerate vinyl deterioration by changing the original chemical balance
- Conditions new leather to maintain suppleness & durability
For use on:
- Auto upholstery
- Furniture
- Leather jackets
- Saddles
- Luggage and handbags
- Sports equipment
- Worn leather and more...
Danier is a Canadian based clothing retailer who specialize in leather goods, so unless you are in or near Canada, you might not be able to get it. The Eco Vinyl & Leather is non-toxic, biodegradeable, and is safe for the environment. It is also available in the US and a number of countries around the world, and can be ordered online through the above link.
ps: If you purchase the Eco Vinyl & Leather through the above link, I will benefit, but that's not why I recommend it.
I recommend it because it works extremely well.

Cool.
Thanks, Judi.

UPDATE:
I was recently at Kohl’s dept. store w/ the girlfriend.
While she was looking at purses, I moseyed over to the men’s shoe section and found a product called Gel Cleaner Sport by a company called Elite Professional Care located in Montreal, Canada.
It’s a blue colored gel that comes in a clear 4.7oz plastic bottle. The bottle contains a bristled applicator/dispenser. You apply a small amount of gel to the shoe and gently brush until lathered. Wipe away the foam with a clean cloth and the shoe is CLEAN.
I was amazed how well this stuff works – especially on new, white leather. It was like having a magic wand.
I only paid $5 for the gel, and my shoes look brand new again.

Thanks Montague I'm going to Kohl's on my next day off :)

Kohl's is great!

If you're anything like my cousin, I can just imagine how pissed you must have been. {LOL}
He has an absolute khanipfit if there's even the slightest tiniest little scuff on his athletic shoes.
Everyone else would need a microscope to see it, but his eagle eyes can spot it a mile away.
Glad you were able to find something convenient to you that worked so well. :)
