What is the best way to clean climbing shoes?
TranslucentRose asked:
I have a pair of Red Chili Sausalito climbing shoes which I normally climb indoors with. Recently I used them outside and they have become quite dirty. The main problem now is that some of the black colour of the sole has transferred onto the red part of the shoe and won’t come off. What is the best way to clean them without damaging the shoe? I have seen lots of advice on websites for leather shoes but these are suede and the red dye also seems to transfer when wet.
