Yes sole protectors work, but you only get about 20 to 25 light wears. I put them on my Gamma 3lab5s, and took em off last week. My soles are still clean but the sole protectors are pretty expensive. I think I may just wear my kicks and not worry about the bottoms anymore. But I don't know.
But you should try em and see if they are for you. They do what they say they will do that's for sure.

What works really good for me is. Warm water mixed with oxyclean and a little of brit whitener and brightener . Do not saturate the sockliner with water. Just dip the toothbrush and scrub the sockliner. Leave it there for 5-10 min and rinse by using toothbrush and warm water while wiping the excess bubbles with white towel.until no more detergent left.. I don't like to saturate the sockliner with water...

Leave it there for 5-10 min and rinse by using toothbrush and warm water while wiping the excess bubbles with white towel.until no more detergent left.. I don't like to saturate the sockliner with water...did the left side.

this dude decided it would be cool to take these and have his homeboy at schoo do a sharpie custom on them i personally restore shoes and do customs but i've never really had to tackle something like this lmao also what laces should i get for reps?
So my main questions are...
1. what suede dye should i buy from turtle feathers light grey,grey or dark grey
2. HOW THE **** DO I REMOVE THE SHARPIE!! i've searched and searched and nothing im thinking maybe mr clean magic eraser, alchohol, hand santizers? i have no idea
3. well thats mostly it besides where i can find rep laces for size 9 CG 4's and what size also
***Side Note****
What size laces should i get for my concords size 10.5 and my old ladies CG 11's size 6Y?
thanks in advance yo

^^^ I really don't think you can do anything about that. Suede dye won't turn the black into grey. Permanent marker is pretty much impossible to remove from fabrics like that

For the men's concord laces, I'd say a size 54. There's a cat on ebay by the name of Kid594 that sells the round laces for a pretty reasonable price, and they're thick like the laces that come with the 11's, and sells them for $7

Just saw a vid on YouTube that uses baking soda to remove sharpie from fabrics. She gets it wet with water first then puts baking soda on it and scrubs with brush. Seems to work pretty well

Thanks for the great info, I wanted to try it on some flight 9's that I had sitting in the box for the last 3 years wore maybe 2-3 times and have now turned yellow as hell. Imma use them as beaters but I wanted to spruce them up a bit. got the netting to clear up but the patent leather just wont change I used the retr0 bright but it didn't budge the leather. This is the shoe that I have though its not my picture ,but has the same yellowing. hopefully I can use the same step by step instructions as the youtube video.
And wanted to get it to return to this.

So buy the material yourself, you can buy it in rolls. It's made by 3m and cost wouldn't be more than a couple dollars a pair. Buy the roll and cut it yourself

Woah, I can't believe I didn't think of that. Duh to myself. Ok fam. Great idea. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the hardest to think of in the heat of the moment. Thanks I will do work and get me a whole roll. You genius. Repped.

lol no prob, thats all they're doing, and pre-cutting it to certain shapes to cater to people's needs. no hate on them for the hustle, but they arent doing anything revolutionary... just working with resources available to everybody
