My white shoes are destroyed.

Is there anyway to revive a set of white shoes? Mine are getting a bit yellow and no amount of white shoe polish will cover some of the dirt and grime that has built up over the years.

Should I just nuke 'em and buy another set? There doesn't appear to be a shoe cobbler in Meridian either. Imagine that.
 
Cleaning? I recommend placing the offensive shoes here:

immediately follow up with consumption of this:

problem solved.
 
Wash them thoroughly, spray paint a light even coat of white... viola.

I've seen some guys do it here.

Worked wonderfully. Thanks dude.

Generally, when I need to clean something, that's where I start.

Actually, that's where my wife starts. For where I start, see the above post with that goldeny frosty beverage.

ba ZING!
 
There was a shoe shine guy who worked out of the old barber shop when I first went through Pensacola who could work wonders out of hopeless shoes, especially white ones. Didn't see him when I went back and I don't know if is still around. Any respectable shoe shiner ought to do good work though.
 
Although you are the dead cat guy--

Oxyclean stain removing spray will bring back just about anything to its previous state of white; (well, maybe not David Duke.)
 
At OCS I practically ruined my shoes at a bar in Newport.

Turns out that a rag dipped in warm water + a small bit of tide ultra will take dirt off right quick. That chalky white shoe polish sucks.
 
All spray paint, all the time. Got me through 60 days of restriction, 5 musters a day (summertime). Every week or so, strip it down and start over.
