shoe care

[full_throttle]

a little advice needed please.

should i use normal shoe polish on my shoes?


i seem to recall being told that i should not use any form of dubbing for the first 12 months, is this correct?

I tend to let mine dry naturally and wipe any mud away with a baby wipe.

Blow them off with the compressed air at the club, chuck em in the back of the car...

Plenty of shoe care IMO

sometimes forget to even use the blowers... then paddle all the grass and leaves through the driving range shop in the week

Clean the crud off the spikes, wipe off the muck from the uppers, let them dry naturally. It's OK to use Nikwax or something similar to maintain the water-resistance (I checked this with Callaway Europe), polish just makes them look nice.

I'm shocked at some of the shoe "care" described above.

My Dryjoys are not only the most expensive shoes I own, they're the only ones that I will regularly walk 5 miles in in the wet.

Get crud off using blower, wipe down with a damp cloth and leave to dry naturally then work in some leather cream, followed by a bit of polish and spray with a protective spray.

I know,I know, it's over the top but I reckon they're probably the most important bit of kit I take on the course.

I totally agree mashie,my dryjoys get cleaned after every game/knock whether its 18 holes or not,even take out the spikes,as the saying goes,look after your shoes......

Clean my shoes every time I wear then, wipe off all the dirt with damp cloth then polish with a good quality polish which if done properly helps keep the shoes waterproof as will as just making them look nice?

If they are wet stuff them with old news paper

If they are black, a wipe over with a damp cloth to get all the mud off, allow to dry naturally and then give them a right good seeing to with a good quality black polish.
If they are white? Just a wipe with a damp cloth does it for me.

Wow, learn something every day. I didn't know you could clean golf shoes.

Murph just ignore all the info above. A wise man once told me that if you clean your golf shoes it wears the leather away and they dont last as long

 

[USER1999]

I have always taken the view with golf shoes (and cars) that they perform better with a protective layer of mud on them.

What is this 'cleaning shoes' you're speaking of?
Sounds like crazy talk to me.
Anyway don't we have these things called wives/girlfriends to do that for us?

I do. She's just done the irons and is sorting out my black shoes for tomorrow as I type. Happy days

NO WAY???? damn, your the man. My wife cooks and cleans and really looks after me but she would laugh in my face if I asked her to clean my shoes or clubs.

 

[robbest3offthetee]

Yeh, then HOMER WOKE UP.....

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Nope. I can categorically confirm on my life, scouts honour she has just polished them for me. She does my shoes regularly and often does the clubs and the grips too. I'm a lucky man
