Well one of my fav pairs of shoes ever got extremely fucked up at my summer job (sand/soda blasting) me not thinking before i wore them there, nearly brand new. so now that I just thought about them because i was looking for new shoes. they’re discontinued and not so cheap when you can find them, so i’d like to attempt to revive these. The tongue is like packed solid with soda but the rest of the shoe seems clean able. anyone have any ideas without me going crazy?
Thanks in advance for the help.
I realize their just shoes, but i guess they have a bit of sentimental value…considering i’ve had 11 pairs of them…
Well from what I know (and it’s not a lot about this) it would probably come down to the material the shoe is made of. I wanna say that if it is like a suede/nubuck material your probably screwed. But is its like a leather or some other sort of flat non porous material you might have a shot.
they must sell some sort of leather/suede cleaner at a leather store. that and s oft bristled brush would probably do it. If its just faux suede toss em in the washing machine.
try cleaning raw sewage from a brand new pair of shoes. I worked as a plumber at Darien Lake this past summer and I couldnt find my work boots so I had to wear my new sneakers. Yeah they got covered in shit. I was soooo pissed.
