shoe care?

[twenty]

I just wanted to get some advice on how to care for my soccer shoes. They are made of kangaroo leather, which I read is more delicate than other leathers.

Anyway, I just wanted to know how to clean/maintain them.

I own a pair of Umbro Specialis (totally kangaroo leather) and Adidas F50s (the front is kangaroo leather).

After every time I wearing them I give them a good solid wash - using my fingers rather than any brush, I find it allows you to get them really clean but won't damage them like a tough brush might. Allow them to dry naturally in a well ventilated area (ie. don't leave them in the sun, or in a bag or anything).

I also have started using Dubbin recently. You can buy it in a tube in sports shops - it really softened up my Specialis as they're getting a bit old. It protects the leather and keeps them nice and soft.

wash them when they get dirty (NO SOAP!) and let air dry. i like chelsea leather food....keeps them nice and shiny and very soft
