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.

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!

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.

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.

I use a Mr. Clean magic eraser.

That's what I came in to say.


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.

    • It’s simple. Hook it onto the tee box of the adjacent hole. Get a GIR with your approach. Birdie hole. #5 Hook it to the adjacent fairway Hit green with next shot. Birdie hole. I call it the Bill Method.
    • I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
