The shoes on the left have been worn 10-15 times and the shoes on the right have been worn once. I have huge feet, 15 4E. I was thrilled to have my first pair of Reebok shoes in years. You were beautiful at first. I've worn them maybe five times. After that, they quickly discolored. I've tried everything from washing to soaking the laces to changing laces to brushing with a toothbrush. Of course, like white shoes, they discolor over time, but the main problem is how quickly it happened and whether it happened unevenly. The boots started off with a shade of white and are currently available in two different colorways. They still look good and I would consider buying another pair for special occasions but these are not everyday shoes at all. By the way, they are very comfortable.
