You can use one of those blocks for cleaning (white like solid polystyrene . )
But white shoes go yellow after a while sadly .

Can you wash them at all? Low temperature , in a pillowcase and put a towel in to stop them bumping around .
I've washed DD Converse a few times .

Hang out in the sun to dry

Toothpaste! Loads of tutorials on YouTube

Thanks all. They’re leather so I don’t really want to put them in the machine. I’ll investigate the toothpaste and have a look at the stuff from JD.

I'm going to do cif cream cleaner on mine, worked last year for me.

I've used cif before too.
Baby wipes good too and a sponge and soapy water

I use leather wipes on mine and they work brilliantly.
