The best thing to do is to take a wet rag to them so you clean off all the mud and dirt. Once they are clean, use rubbing alcohol to strip off the old polish. The alcohol will also open up the pores and make them soak up more polish.





Then start polishing... thins coats with small circle motions with a wet cotton cloth or cotton ball. The more layers you get, the better they will look. If you really want them to look good, get some edge dressing and paint the soles as well. Good luck!
Reply:Walk on a beach. The sand will help strip them. Wash them lightly. Dry completely, sometimes overnite.Dye them. Let the dye Dry overnite. Polish.
