    A 5L drum of 5W-30 engine oil tipped over and half a litre of engine oil soaked into my new Mizunos. (only 117km on them(

    I tried scrubbing them with fairy liquid and water.
    I tried soaking them.

    Still I cannot get all the oil out of them.

    Any suggestions to get the rest out or are them dead?

    Maybe you could try some bike degreaser - folks on cycling forum may be able to help recommend one.

    Alternatively, be thankful that you're unlikely to get any blisters any time soon ;-)

    cheers, cirtus bike degreaser seems to be the only viable option I think!

    Might be worth soaking them in vinegar to see if that helps at all.
