Introduction

I’ve had these shoes for about 6 months and obviously, they need cleaning to some degree. I don’t want to spend a lot of money on a detailed shoe cleaner and want to use accessible items to make it easy for everyone that may use this guide. So, I took a quick survey and asked my friends about the ways they’ve cleaned their shoes and a few caught my eye. They all said, “If your shoes are leather, use a toothbrush and scrub it with Dawn soap.” I took their feedback constructively and plan on using the said method for my Adidas Continental 80’s.
