I hear that you have to change your running shoes every now and then. Also, since I run in the countryside often my shoes get dirty. I clean them immediately but there are dirt residues that cannot be cleaned easily. What do you think about washing running shoes? It looks like a good idea to me.

Yeah, I know what you mean. My shoes get dirty too. I wash them often. Don’t worry. They will be OK after that. Of course, it depends on the material they were made of. If you feel uncomfortable wearing them after washing try to dry them slowly. There are some kinds of shoes that cannot be washed. I mean, they can be washed but they change their shape slightly after drying thus making it possible for you to get blisters. In such case you shouldn’t wash them. Just clean them as much as you can. When they get dirty beyond repair, get a new pair.

Do not put your shoes in the washing machine, and never put them in the dryer. If you must wash them, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe off dirt/mud, stuff them with newspaper, and let air dry.
