Shoe Care

While fitting students in their uniform pants, white markings were found on a few pairs of pants. It looked as though white icing was smeared on the legs of the pants. We have figured out that these white markings are from the white shoe polish that was used to whiten the shoes for the Disney performance.

Suggested shoe care from the Dinkles' website:

The leather shoes in the DINKLES line like the VANGUARD and STINGER all use a full leather upper with a microporous finish that is scuff resistant, water-resistant and easily cleaned. Just clean with soap and water or diluted leather cleaners. A shine can be put back on the leather with a car care product such as Armorall® or what works really good is Armorall® wipes.

Additional suggestions are to use Tennis Shoe cleaner (a foam spray) or Fantastik with a Mr. Clean Eraser. These products also clean the sides of the soles of the shoes very well. All of these products can be found at Drug Mart or local stores.

Please encourage your students to bring their marching band shoes home after every performance. The main reason for this is to make sure they are cleaned before the next performance. In addition, these shoes tend to walk away from their locker and get lost if they are left at school.
