Just that really, a very belated Xmas present 😃.

He wants a traditional style like he had when he was 35 years younger but they must be completely wipe cleanable, if that makes sense.
Any suggestions?
TIA
ps he's a size 10, if that matters.

I can’t imagine this is difficult to search for online. The vast majority of trainers are wipe clean! Steer clear of suede and you will be fine.

Just hoping someone had a similar request and could guide me.

Just wipe them off when they get wet, don't go in the mud with them, and use trainer whitening cleaner when they need it. White is never going to stay pristine without some help.

Buy leather not suede and bobs your uncle. Get a style and price he likes.

Magic sponges are good for keeping the soles white. The learher justs needs a bit of regular tlc/wipe with a cloth. It's the soles that need a bit more of a clean every so often.

He wants to get the ones with a white sole but I think he'd be better off getting the brown soles ones as it's so difficult to keep white soles clean.

The sole of a persons show doesn’t need to be kept clean. Please just let him have the colour he wants.

Depends what he means by traditional style? I like gazelles & sambas, but not sure if they come in white with blue stripes. When you find the style you like, definitely shop around as there are big price differences from store to store.

Adidas Originals are the styles that've been re-iterated for decades. Do you know what sort of sole his shoes had.

Maybe it was Superstar - you definitely used to get them in the colourway you described. They’re the ones with the shell toe.

Stan Smiths you could get white leather with white soles which would be relatively easy to keep clean, that trainer doesn’t have coloured stripes though, it’s perforations instead of stripes, but you would get a pair that has a blue tab at the heel. Look up the model, they’re a court type trainer.

Otherwise you could get a Gazelle white leather with blue stripes (probably not white soles), I like Gazelle Bold too, which are a more recent version of Gazelle.
It would depend on what he’s going to wear them with, but I think the above ones would probably be easiest to wipe clean.

Should’ve said that some of the trainers the ‘soles’ that are bumper style are easier to keep clean
