Leave them in the house and wear trainers.

Dunno of it's the same with white boots (cos I'm not gay enough to ever consider buying any), but my summer leathers have white bits on them, and they got grubby pretty quick. A mate suggested that cleaning them with toothpaste would do the trick (being mildly abrasive and all that), and that worked.... brought 'em up as good as new.

I have white gloves (tart Razz ) and don't have much trouble keeping them clean, just the insides that are needing a clean.

Why anybody would want white boots is beyond me.

i've got a pair of white arlen ness Boots. i find the best thing is trainer cleaner but it comes out too much. so put some of it then use a toothbrush and it all comes off.

Needs doing about every 4 rides to keep them in top cond. and every 6 i nik-wax them for waterproofing.

and with my blue Alpinestars trials boots i just nik-wax them every other ride to keep all the water out. Works a treat.

Yes the 1064's

i really like them they are a good fit on my foot (as everybody's feet are different) an dont take as long to get into as Puma's (the other one's i was looking at)

Pretty water-resistant if you keep them wax'd up. Not the warmest but they give a great feel.

It's the only thing i dislike about Alpinestars stuff. They stick their white logo on it, an i very quickly ends up a dull gray. Doesn't bother me really. My kit is there to protect me, not to look tarty. Although it still does that very well Cool .

luckily i also like light grey Wink

white boots are only white boots until you actually use them... only thing i can suggest is wiping them down after your ride with soapy water, though they are going to fade over time, there's nothing you can do about it!
