After last weeks road run, my trainers look as though I ran through a ploughed field and finished off with sprint through the cow shed.
In the scheme of things, the trainers are not too expensive, (£95), but I happen to like them, and would rather not risk them disintegrating in the wash. But they are filthy!
What do you recommend?
Nope! Pop the insoles in the machine as often as you like but never the shoes.
Ps. Those really aren't that dirty 😉
Crikey, if they are filthy, mine should be condemned 🤣🤣
Not advisable to put ANY shoes into the washing machine, not sure about this but there might be a certain type of shoe cleaner for expensive running shoes, might get advice from others about that.
what do the manufacturers website say?
I asked the same question the other day and got told NO 
Oh, best not to put in the washing machine, I'd say!
Let any muck or mud dry, then use a stiff brush on them (I got a cheap floor scrubbing brush from Robert Dyas). Then, a damp cloth to polish off – voila! Good as new. Well, almost.
I have a scrubbing brush that I use to clean the hen house. The trainers might be worse if I used that 🐓🙈
I'll invest in a new one. Who would have thought it - going up in the world; two scrubbing brush household. The neighbours will be jealous! 😃
😂😂😂
Check out this recent thread on the same subject 👍🏻😁
Don't ever wash them..dry and bang the mud off..badges of honour
Those don't look dirty at all 😂 I don't know what that says about me...
Never wash my running shoes in the washing machine just brush and wipe with wet cloth.
Good to see another New balance wearer .
I’ve stuck with New balance for 10 years now.
I love mine, they're so comfy like slippers!
Most of the good people here say no... most sites say yes... but I’m with the people on this one!
This was being discussed on the radio the other morning and someone said the dishwasher is a better option as the shoes don’t get thrown around... I’ve yet to try this, but will on a pair of my daughters!
No idea how to clean these though globalcitizen.org/en/conten...
I like the look of those
Although I would be worried about them bio-degrading on my feet in wet weather - I'm sure they thought of that but it would be forever in the back of my mind
I think you have to apply an enzyme to them before they will dissolve... not sure how rare that enzyme is of course. I had a look and at £1500 a pair I think I’ll wait for them in black 🤣
yes, black is so much more slimming for the feet
No don’t do it let them dry and brush it off and baby wipe them I do this and they are not that dirty you should see mine after park run they are normally filthy caked on mud especially if it has been raining a nice day and they are not to bad happy running 😉👍
I've heard its best not too. I did a race for life muddy 5k the other week and mine were filthy. (yours look ok 
) anyway I ended up having to be hosed down in the back yard!!! as caked in mud.... and then after my 'proper shower' I hosed the trainers a bit more and dried them out, they seem to be OK but only cheap Karrimor ones.
Eeek, being hosed down outside. Would have been chilly! Hope the mud had some therapeutic properties 😉
New (Blue) shoes and happiness - With added downpour.
Too late for new shoes?!
Not sure if it was the new shoes or the intervals
New trail shoes 😃
