I'd say they were 9.5 given the age of the shoe.
You can clean them with some Lincoln ez cleaner.

In regards to the sneaker shields discussion...I modified the plastic shoe trees that came with my cg xis and used em for years...they r super sturdy n work extremely well. I did have to cut em on the side(for pinky toe) cuz my wide feet. Lol

I have some all white air max's that I really need to clean. Can anyone tell me the best product to use for this? Also is it a bad idea to put them in the washing machine?
Thanks

I was watching some of their other videos and user submitted pics, it's laser cut to sit on the sole and cover the entire surface area and the main difference is that this protector has traction rather than the other homemade ones, which tend to be more slippery and more squeaky from what I've read. I was thinking of grabbing a set for my grape soles as well. If you do decide to grab one, I believe this coupon code still works- "beclean15"

for anything durabuck, nubuck, or suede, I only use the Lincoln e-z cleaner. Well worth the money, lasts for many uses. It won't make the shoes ashy in look.

After much work and some time in the sun I managed to get em back looking DS, I wear these during summer months only and sitting in the box over the winter takes it toll. The upper on my DS concords already starting to yellow!

Just copped some '03 Retro 11 Lows. I would say they're in decent condition to be that old and to have been previously worn. I need some tips/advice for cleaning them up. I took the laces out and they're being cleaned.
I want to know how to get rid of the discoloration, if possible. It's not that grey color, but more of a dingy yellowish color.

if they were mine i would get a good amount of Oxyclean and hot water and dissolve a good amount of oxyclean in the water and get a toothbrush and work it into them, or if you have a big enough bucket or casserole dish i would soak the entire shoe in the oxyclean for about 30 minutes then either throw them in the washing machine or wash them somehow well enough to get all of the Oxy out of the shoe, i have done this with my white hats and shoes and it turns them back white everytime without fail. when you put them in the washer (if you do) put them in a pillow case and prefferably by themselves.Just copped some '03 Retro 11 Lows.
