I'm not talking about the icy sol or netting.

Here's an example

How do I prevent them from getting like that?

You can not prevent it. The only way to un yellow it is with salon care 40 volume

What would be the better option:
Salon care 40 or repainting them with angelus paint?

2x one hour sessions under sun? That's pretty wild if so.

Not to bad, still pretty clear. It's in immaculate condition now though haha.

 

[genethemarine]

Oh yea lol now to get netting as clear

 

[rickyriebel]

Anyone know how to fix this? Maybe without soleswap?




And what about this...do I need to worry that the shoe will fall apart while? Or its just the glue that got brittle due to pressure while walking? Would be a shame...2010 AM1

Is the actual midsole starting to crumble? Never seen anything like that on a 4 year old shoe

How do you guys whiten leather. No i dont want to paint it. I want to whiten it. Do you use the rit whitener and brightener, powder? Or how. Looking to whiten the leather on my cardinal 7s.

 

[genethemarine]

No, rit is used for white mesh material. I use lincoln ez cleaner for all my shoes. Theres other ways too..hot water n detergent..etc

But everyone always said. The liquid is for mesh and the powder is for leather.

first i always waterproof my shoes, then again every 3 months depending on rotation.

i always use mr. clean magic eraser and jason markk for stains. JM works well but it made my red suede shoes bleed a little.

What product do you recommend for water proofing?

 

[skep]

I use foot locker water repellant

 

[mecks]

same, or the penguin one, or when payless has BOGO free ill buy a bunch. theyre all the same IMO.

just a note tho, to me the waterproofing stuff makes it easier to get stains off if youre able to wipe whatever landed on the shoe quickly. i.e. one time i dropped salsa on my hares, i was able to dab off almost all of it. just try not to rub on suede.

  Repel Well

 

[smookes]

  Repel Well

That repel well looks amazing!

Have you personally used it?
