I was just wondering how some of you care for your golf shoes? Do you use regular shoe polish or some type of specialty care product? I have a pair of FootJoy saddle shoes with white and black leather uppers and want to put a nice cleaning on them, as well as help to prolong their life. Any and all advice is welcome.

I use Kiwi cleaning gel and then polish with a quality shoe cream. I'm a big fan of the kind in the tube with the built in foam applicator. I can't recall the brand name, but I found it in the men's dress shoe section of Nordstrom. (It looks sort of like the one in the picture below, but a different brand.) It's a little more expensive than the jar cream, but way more convenient.

If you can't find the appropriate color (I haven't been able to find white), then FootJoy shoe cream in the short jar is good.

I also use cedar shoe trees.

I keep my shoes in a cedar shoe tree before and after a round of golf. The tree help absorb any moisture and helps keep the form of the shoe.

I am trying to get my son to do the same for his basketball shoes.

In the trunk with my clubs but definitely cedar shoe trees and wipe them off real quick after every round,

I use plastic shoe trees because I won't spend the money on cedar.
I think I'll ask Santa for those.

For white/dark saddles, I get great results with Fantastic to clean them and Stride-Rite white shoe dye.

Seriously, I've tried about everything.
That baby shoe dye makes them as white as your dress shirts.

That shoe dye is fantastic. Keep in mind that fantastic will dry out the leather if not treated afterward.

I like to use saddle soap to clean them, then mink oil to protect them and keep the leather treated and soft. Cedar shoe inserts are a must if you want to keep your shoes around. If you take care of them, I've had shoes last upwards of 4+ years!!! and I play EVERY day!

Take 'em off and put 'em in the trunk. I'll wipe 'em off with a damp towel every other round unless they're really dirty. After the season, I buy a new pair. They're just shoes so I don't treat them like they're Renoir sketches.

Some shoes cost me a heck of a lot of money, I want them to last longer than a year when your paying upwards of $200 per pair.

Ditto. I've only found 1 model from 1 brand that fit my weird feet. And Eccos aren't cheap. I want them to last.

I agree! My FootJoys cost $160 and I think that I should get more than a season of wear out of them. I plan to keep them around as long as possible, hence the reason to start this thread.

Thanks for the great advice, ALL!

you can go to any athletic shoe store and buy their shoe foam. if you need specifics, go to finish line and get a can of their's (i think made by kiwi) for $4.99. just spray it on, let the foam break up the dirt and just wipe it off. very simple, and it's safe for most shoes.

Kiwi cleaner is quite good. Please make sure that the people with nice shoes, put some protectant on them. YOu will not believe how much easier they become to clean each time after applying some.

      I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership.

      Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver.
