^ wash them?

being a vans girl since i was 9 yrs old <thats about 30 yrs>, i find its best to use a small hand scrubbing brush.i use
a color protecting shampoo as the cleaning agent..get the brush wet,pour a VERY small amount of the shampoo onto the brush.then gently scrub them clean. use watered down bleach for the white rubber sides <avoiding the little black ring> gently dunk shoes in a sink/pail... whatever u can come up with-
filled with barely warm water until the soap is completely washed away.. and set out in the sun to dry.
i let the laces set in a half bleach, half water mix for about an hour.if you dry them, the ends get all frayed
and shit <_<
DO NOT PUT YOUR VANS IN THE DRYER. youll have faded vans, that have a high probability of shrinking
as well
and thats not a good thing ![]()
unless, of course, you WANT them to look faded and grungy ![]()
but anyways.. ive been doing this to the same pair of black slip on vans for the last 5 yrs
and they still look hella good ![]()

I'm hopin' it'll Qome out right. =)
Last Saturday, I had mild alQohol poisoning; i puked on the lawn before i went up to my house and i didn't know that it hit my shoes!
But i'm okay now haha
For some reason, it reminds me of the show, "McLeod's Daughters"..

haven't seen it...

I need a new pair of boots, the last ones I bought...I stepped in mud and they got ruined ![]()
any good recommendations... "durable" yet cheap cute looking boots? I've been looking everywhere.
I don't like real high ones that go to the knee because i'm short...![]()

lol
these shoes would probably be my suicide attempt ![]()
I liiike shoes. Personally, I'm more of a purse girl. I love wearing heels because I'm short, but I have SUCH a hard time walking in them. I was a tomboy as a kid so I still have a hard time incorporating heels into my every day outfits, but I'm getting there! Lots of boots with chunky heels though. <3 I don't have a lot of money for stuff (curse you, university!) so I try and only buy basic stuff (brown boots, black boots, black heels, brown heels, brown NICE running shoe type thing, black NICE running shoe type thing (nothing sloppy!)) basically I have one of every shoe type in black and brown! I just bought a pair of silver flats with a ruffle from payless. That is where I have to resort to buying shoes from because I have nooo moneys. ONE DAY I WILL OWN YOU, GORGEOUS JIMMY CHOOS. ![]()
