after running under the rain for 30 minutes my white sneakers had a foul stench. I tried disinfectant and washing them with soap and water and lots of rubbing and sunlight to dry.
While that got rid of most of the smell, my white sneakers are now brownish, specially around the shoelaces.
I’ve never washed sneakers in the washing machine. Am I going to ruin them?
Shoeshiners exist for a reason. There’s a science to cleaning shoes.
Shoeshiners are for “nice” shoes that use primarily “hard” materials for the outer layer that can be, well, shined. They don’t typically take care of the inner parts where more standard fabrics are nor do they do sneakers.
Sneakers you can toss in the washer and call it a day
that reason is not sneakers
I thought sneakers were shoes.
Airplanes are vehicles, yet it won’t do you much good to take tyem to a car mechanic.

Would you try to shine sneakers?
