HOW TO CLEAN SNEAKERS
http://www.ehow.com/how_113543_wash-sneakers.html HOLY HELL! I'd buy new ones long before I went through all this trouble!!! ENJOY!
==============================
Step One - Remove the laces and any inserts from the shoes.
Step Two - Throw the laces in with a load of laundry, and then let them air-dry.
Step Three - Mix up a solution of mild soap and water (dishwashing soap or Ivory soap flakes work well). If the shoes are very heavily soiled, you might want to buy a cleaner specifically designed for athletic shoes instead. Check the bottle's label to make sure it is appropriate for all the materials--whether nylon, leather, vinyl, canvas or rubber--your shoes are made of.
Step Four - With a soft-bristle brush and the soapy water or shoe cleaner, clean the inserts and the shoes, inside and out. Then use clean water to rinse the shoes and the inserts well with clean water.
Step Five - Wipe off the excess moisture with paper towels.
Step Six - With paper towels, stuff the shoes to soak up moisture and preserve their shape.
Step Seven - Place the shoes and the inserts on a waterproof surface in a well-ventilated room to dry, replacing the paper towels if necessary as they become soaked through.
Step Eight - Put the laces and the inserts back into the shoes once all the parts are completely dry.
Step Nine - Sprinkle a bit of baking soda inside the shoes to keep them smelling fresh.
Step Ten - Allowing your shoes to dry out thoroughly between wearings will lengthen their life considerably.
