How to Clean Your Sneakers, According to Shoe-Brand Experts

If the soles of your shoes are dirty, remove any loose dirt first by tapping the soles of the sneakers together. Sneaker soles are the first to turn yellow if you're leaving your sneakers out in the sunlight. If you don't own a sneaker cleaner solution, warm, soapy water works well, plus a toothbrush or bristle brush, and you can clean your sneaker soles in rounds — make it an all-day project and scrub then soak, scrub then soak.
