Whats the best way to clean my white FootJoy Classic saddle shoes?
I’ve heard that white shoe paint just makes a mess of them. I’ve grown up cleaning and polishing my dress shoes, but none of them was white. I missed the ’70s. — Eric Batsford / Sorrento, Fla. A: Regular readers will know The Golf Guru’s feelings about white golf shoes. No matter. There are all kinds of expensive products on the market, but I have found the best way to clean golf shoes is with warm water, a little soap and a towel. This also works for body parts, incidentally. When they are dry–the shoes, not the body parts–give them the once-over with a little neutral shoe polish. I applaud your commitment to cleanliness. Everyone knows that, just as a clean car runs better than a dirty one, a golfer with clean shoes holes a lot more putts. Ask The Golf Guru: Send him your question and he may answer it in an upcoming column.
