Shoe stains

Well just yesterday, I wore some new dark colored jeans with brand new white leathers shoes (classic vans
) to go out for maybe 2-3 hours. I came home, and just put the shoes away since it was too late to inspect anything at the time. So the day passes, and I decide to clean all my shoes. I notice blue stains on the brand new white shoes I wore yesterday. I google'd it and assumed that they came from my jeans.. I did get most of it off, for as there were stains from the back, and even some on the laces. I dont think they are too noticeable from a point, but it can be from up close. I know that as you wash new jeans, all the access color comes off, but not completely. I was wondering how I could prevent this from happening, without cleaning my shoes everyday, taping the insides of my jeans and all that other stuff, because I really dont have the time to do it everytime i want to wear my white shoes. thanks
*note: I cant put any vinegar or any other substances in the wash cause I dont do my laundry, so take that in mind and dont shun me

my advice to you is google it don't ask on a forum where most people wouldn't know maybe try rolling up the rims of the jeans...I dont really see how the die from your jeans could be put on your shoes

I did google it, if you read my post all the way. And I did think of rolling up the bottom of the jeans.. but sometimes its not very stylish and sometimes it is ( dont flame me because I care for style, its part of life ) I dont get how it dose get from your jeans onto the shoes, and tbh, I dont really care, and I just want to know how to get it off. I posted in the forum for the posibility of anyone knowing, or thier own personal way of dealing with it. But thanks for helping atleast

I said that because you said you didn't do your own laundry. If you didn't you could put other stuff in there. Fool.

No one looks at your shoes except you, no one will notice.

I dont like really E-arguing.
1.Saying that I should do my own laundry dose not help. I included that in so that everyone would know that I HAVE NO CONTROL over how my clothes is washed, and that I cannot do anything with that, no ifs and no buts
2.Yes, people do look at shoes, believe me.
Really though, i'm just saying that if your not going to be helpful or at least try, dont post if your not going to do so

Not really, but I feel more comfortable letting people who auctually know how to do it, do it, and that im not going to do it any other time soon,not that I dont want to, but that I wont be able to ( complicated to explain over the internet )

Then you know you could offer some help instead of acting so aggressive towards someone who clearly states he has difficulties in doing his own laundry. No need to point out the obvious.

I'm just saying learn how to do laundry. I'm not intending to act aggressively.

that is what you get when you wear white shoes and I think it's pretty hard to remove the stains

My jeans never leave stains on my white shoes. I bought a spray stuff from Foot Locker and it makes stains and mess easier to get rid of.
Otherwise, try washing your jeans a few times. Then you should be able to wear them and nothing will come out? Oh, maybe don't wear wet jeans either.

Do you remember what that spray was? I might get myself one. And yeah, maybe ill see process after they are washed a few times. ( wet jeans are really out of hand because who wears wet jeans with white shoes >.> )

I'll try find the spray now.
Edit: It's called "Sneaker Protector" I think you could buy it at most Foot Locker shops in the US (I got mine in Australia). It's to prevent moisture and discolouration. Repels rain, snow, and salt. As well as the dirt and oils which leave stains.
Keeps leather soft too

You're not the only one who likes to bitch about shoes, me too.
I got these really dark blue sneakers from some unknown brand, and I love them, but they had the same color laces.
So I was walking through town one day, looking in some shops, and there I cam across these incredibly bright blue laces. I was sold.
I knew what I had to do. and that was to get myself those laces and get my shoes noticed.
Hell, people always look at shoes. and my shoes are awesome.
And for your shoes, I suggest some tippex.
Pimp them up!
Or just do your own laundry for once, and just put them in the washing machine yourself.
