What's the best way to clean a pair of leather Reebok sneakers?

What sort of “best way” do you mean?  The best in what sense, and for what sort of job?
assistant
Just a reliable method to clean leather sneakers.
user
Oh, if it's just to clean them so they don't have gunk on them, just to keep them in good condition, some mild soap and water, and also a brush would probably do it.  You might want to also consider an appropriate conditioner and/or preservative, depending on how often you're going to wash the shoes.
assistant
I really just want them to be as bright white as they were when new. Do I really use soap on leather sneakers? Isn't there a better method?
user
Yes, there are better methods than regular soap.  I recommend what's called leather soap, made for a specific type of leather.  One of the best is generally considered to be E. F. Dove brand.  Other leather soaps can be good also.  You could also use a leather shaving gel, but I think it's more likely that the leather shaving gel would leave residue on the leather.

How do I apply leather soap? With a brush or a cloth?
