How to clean my shoes?

[ginahhrose]

Bit random but i bought some new shoes in London last week, £95 and there designer.

Being the stupid teenager i am i decide to wear them into town last night and trash them.

There handmade, real leather and wood and there's marks all over them, anybody know how to get them sorted?

Which bit needs cleaning hun?

My best advice would be to take them to a professional cobblers/show repair shop. they have the machinery to buff the marks out of the wood, clean any leather/suede areas and have the experience of dealing with shoes to do it great

The shoes are very lush too xx

Not a lot you personally can do to fix the wood, you will need to get a professional to fix that. RE the brown leather, if you have spilt any drinks on it... or it was raining... sadly it will be water marked and that won't come out.

Id be inclined to say that if you are mainly wearing them on nights out, I would surface clean them with a damp cloth and dry them right after and leave it at that. Throwing money at them to make them look new again and wearing them out and them getting trashed on another night out would be pointless. Id only get them repaired at a shoe menders if you intend to wear them with care

dont think thats very nice saying they are vile! she wasnt asking if we liked them but asking how to clean them..

anyways i wouldnt attempt to clean them myself incase you mark them worse, take them down to cobblers and see what magic they can do,

nice wee investment :wink2: i love investing in shoes

I'm sure if I was 25 years younger I would love them too. :lol:

You might be able to have the tan leather dyed black? Think that might look quite good.
The wood is probably quite soft, so just accept a lived-in look there.
The main thing is you had a great night out!

Could you wax the wood to get out scuffs? Leather cleaner may help, maybe keep cleaning the leather will make it darker but the marks less noticeable, I have same problems with a white leather Karen Millen bag but it's an off white so hard to find colour the same!
Good luck and yr right no more drunk nights in them x x

Sadly it may be marked permenantly if it is water damage yes - sorry. It would have happened in time anyway unless you only wore them in dry locations - I have a handbag the same colour (or it WAS that colour) and well ... due to rain the whole bag is now a lot darker, but I still love it

And I agree, they look fairly easy to walk in due to the platform :lol:

went into the shop today and the guy said he cant do anything with them :/

he told me to sand the wood down lightly to get rid of the scratches and then re stain it, and soap and water on the leather :/

think ill just have to learn my lesson to never wear designer shoes whilst out in a state!!!
