    Uh, I don't use anything special, just a moist cloth to clean it. If I can't get the dirt off so be it.

    I throw my pumas in the wash. I haven't washed my new balances yet. I really don't know what I'm doing though.

    I thought you buy new ones when your shoes gets dirty....

    edit: btw, I do not follow those 10 steps btw, just googled it for others. I stick it at my lazy method (but not as lazy as DuchS and MissCheeky)
    by cleaning them with a moist cloth and if it gets soaked I'll put kitchen paper in it. (I used to use a hairdryer for drying my other sportshoes but soon noticed it was really bad for the leather)

    Sure, send them over to Europe and make sure you put a $100 US dollar bill for each pair of shoes I have to clean for ya.

    those cleaners at footlocker that smell like oranges. spray that on and rinse. those cleaners are usually pretty good.
