hi all, used to ride a while ago but back problems put me out for a good 2yr, now going to a mates to service my bike and replace the brake ppads on wednesday before we go for a ride. going through my gear i got my shoe out but there got a bit of mould on the outside from sitting in the bottom of the wardrobe, any ideas on the best way to clean them and what to treat them with- the materials suede. thanks in advance.

Bleach or exit mould.

But in the interests of your long term health I'd suggest you ditch them pronto and get a new pair. Not at all good for your lungs... which are a dark, damp place that is perfect for fungus to take root and prosper.
