The white shoe is a great summer staple, after all, summer is all about the white, nude and lighter-colored outfits that work to keep you feeling cool on hot days and nights. Especially when traveling, the white shoe is a great option to include in a limited packing situation.
So, what’s the drawback?
Well, white shoes may seem like a great idea, until they become soiled and look more like a murky brown version of what you had initially purchased! But the white leather shoe is actually much easier to keep clean than you would expect, it’s just about maintenance.
Like with any pair of shoes, the easiest way to keep your footwear clean and in better shape for longer is to wipe them down after every wear. You only need a quick minute or two and a damp cloth or brush to get rid of any surface dirt or dust from your daily wear. This makes cleaning much easier on the long run as it help to avoid layered dirt that will be much more challenging to remove. A deeper cleaning will then only be necessary if your shoes are heavily soiled, and is also a good idea before storing them away for a longer period of time.
So what entails a quick daily post-wear clean?
Amazingly, you can give your white leather shoes a great cleaning using a couple of cheap household products. There is no need to spend on expensive leather cleaning products, as you can select cleaning your shoes using:
Other items you can use are:
For either of the deeper cleaning methods (toothpaste or vinegar and baking soda), you can begin with the same steps as the daily post-wear clean. Then, depending on the method selected, follow the corresponding steps (I also use the same methods in the case I want to focus on a scuff or specific area that has been stained, or on the rubber sole of sneakers or running shoes).
For the toothpaste method:
For the vinegar and baking soda method:
In the case your shoes have laces, don’t keep those out of the cleaning process! You don’t want to wear your clean white shoes with dirty laces. You can also easily clean your laces in two ways,
So there you have it, a few inexpensive and readily available household items is all you need to keep your white shoes looking as fresh as you want to feel!

Seasons are no longer what they used to be. Our global expectations of spring, summer, autumn and winter have changed, and especially so in countries where the climate passes through the four seasons. Global warming has effected every aspect of our lives. It has brought hot summer days into the midst of winter, and rainy clouds and gloom into what should have been a sunny summer afternoon.
