After a run where the dirt has covered the shoe, use a “shoe brush” (an old tooth brush is perfect) and give the shoes a cleaning, removing the heaviest build ups of dirt and mud.Ĭlapping the shoes together sole to sole removes dirt easily and effectively, and after that, put them in a dry place (with laces undone and inner sole taken out if possible) and wait for the dirt to dry before using your (dry) shoe brush to remove the rest of the dirt. There’s nothing better for you than a rub down after a run, so what about one for your shoes too. That said, looking after your shoes can prolong their life and give you support and function for far longer than those that have been mistreated. The two methods we recommend for washing your running shoes are listed below. Remember that running is no clean sport, and as most running is done outside, there’s always going to be some level of dirt involved. This is your sweat, blood, rubbing oils and anything else you have on you that rub onto and into your shoes. The second kind of dirt is from you: the runner. The mud, the earth, the things you brush up against when out on the run like leaves and water.
There are two main types of “dirt” when it comes to running shoes. Shoes should definitely not be over-washed, but leaving shoes muddy and sweaty after a run can damage the rubber and weaken stitching, as well as become a breeding ground for mold and other fun things. Keeping your running shoes clean depends on several things: how dirty they are (and from what), the material of the shoes, and the method in which you wash them.
