Can't clean trainers :|

If anyone has ever seen these shoes, you'll know that they're a kind of suedy soft leathery meshy fabricy material. I don't know what it's called. I need to clean my shoes and I don't know how, they didn't come with instructions or anything. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks.

    They are nice.

    And, I have a trainer obsession so I bought them.

    And, I'm not chucking them.

    Kthx.

    Are they ACTUALLY suede? I'm thinking not from your description, but just in case.... if they are a suede brush would be the best thing. Only brush in one direction though or it'll end up looking all shaggy. If they're matted and shiny suede rub them gently, again in one direction, with some fine grade sandpaper.

    I wouldn't have the balls to use sandpaper, it would surely fade the colour. About the fabric, I'm not sure. Maybe Blnde BombShell knows? ;o

    it wont. I do this with my DC's all the time and they are still as springy, comfy and as snug as ever.
