[i]<I><br>>steve,<br>>me and the other guys at our studio have done alot of experimenting w/ this, the results are as follows:<br>>1. wiping w/ white shoe polish works in a jam just DONT use it on the bottom, you will be sliding all over the place. another bad point is that it smells bad after a while<br></I><br>Yes, I wondered about that, but I couldn't see it working too well on canvas...<br><I><br>>2. hand wash them then let soak in a bleach solution (1 part bleach: 5 parts H2O) for a few hrs. this works great for the dirt stains but doesn't remove the actual dirt plus it greatly shortens the life of you shoes<br></I><br>Yep, but I get the same old problem with the insoles. Are they supposed to come out, perhaps? (The original glue seemed to be water soluble, but I stuck them back in with impact adhesive.)<br><I><br>>3. spray paint believe it or not works quite well, once again dont spray the bottom or it will be like trying to turn in molassas.<br></I><br>That's an interesting one.... doesn't it harden the canvas and crack it?<p>The problem seems to be that the 'dirt' contains quite a lot of varnish from the floor, ingrained in the fabric, so even powerful washing liquids don't really seem to do the job. (Guess I could try Decon-90 from here in the lab, but I doubt I'd have any shoes left afterwards!) Dry cleaning would seem to be the best bet, but it would probably cost more than the shoes :-D<p>A.<br><br>[/i]
