I love white shoes, but it can get dirty easily after a round or so. How do you guys cleaning up and taking care of your shoes?

I use saddle soap.  Saddle soap isn't specific for white shoes, but obviously the before and after is the most dramatic on white.

I'm a white shoes man too! Great in the summer! But in winter you just have to clean them more often, I usually clean mine once a week, soft nail brush and water, get all the dirt off, then apply some whitener polish stuff I got for my trainers, keeps them looking bright! I was gonna try some clear dubbin or bees wax but I've never got round to it!

Thanks for the tips. Will give it a try.

Toothpaste

Is it safe? :D

Toothpaste is a mild abrasive. Coin collectors use it to clean coins safely. I've used it to polish my watch. I guess I'll try it on my white shoes.

Insightful personal hygiene point. Have a separate toothbrush for your shoes. Do not use the one you have for your teeth.

===============

Also, it you get nicks in the toes of your white shoes, fill in the nicks with liquid white-out. Then, if the shoes have leather or cloth uppers, you can try some white shoe polish - liquid brush-on looks the best, but paste polish would stretch out the water-proofing.

Focus, connect and follow through!

Everything I buy can be tossed in the washer. I stuff them with newspaper after so the toes don't curl up.

My father, who was a correctional officer (retired now), said all the convicts used toothpaste to keep their shoes clean. I've used it on white shoes... does the trick nicely.

To be fair, that was probably more out of a lack of alternatives than anything else.

I usually get them clean with regular soap. Perhaps not back to the original white, but it works.

This is the reason I made the switch to black shoes.... I was so anal trying to keep my white ones white. I will never go back to white again.... I guess the saying is true, once you go black....

That saying is true by the way, just ask my wife. But anyway if Im wearing my white shoes I try to clean them as soon as I can after my round. I only use soap and water and it seems to work ok enough. I'll look into this toothpaste thing.

It is magic...it'll clean anything.

Saddle Soap, its made to clean leather, works good. Then you can apply some white shoe polish for touch up.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
