If your shoes are getting a bit whiffy then remove the insole and wash these separately. Wet the insoles with luke warm water, scrub away any dirt with mild soap and a toothbrush, rinse thoroughly and allow them to dry in room temperature away from direct heat. To get rid of the whiff, baking soda is commonly recommended for getting rid of bad odours from shoes. Dust the inside of the shoe with baking soda and empty out the excess powder.
Dirty shoe laces can be sorted in no time at all; they can either be removed and washed, or replaced. It is a similar method to washing insoles however rather than wetting them; soak the laces in luke warm water for 30 seconds before scrubbing and rinsing.
Running on off-road terrain or often just the typical road running will undoubtedly result in a build up of dirt on the surface of your shoes. Using a toothbrush or nail-brush clean off the dirt with a little warm water and a gentle, anti-grease soap.
When drying out your shoes DO NOT place them near a heated appliance, this can change the shape of the shoe! Open out your shoes and stuff them with an absorbent material, such as newspaper, this will help absorb the moisture. Be prepared to wait! Shoes can take up to as much as 12 hours to dry out fully so be prepared. It can be very useful to have two pairs of running shoes for when one pair is out of action like this and so you don’t get damp feet with a shoe that hasn’t had the chance to dry out fully.
