How do i clean tennis shoes properly?

laces and insoles out first. knock the dry dirt off with a stiff brush before anything gets wet, otherwise you're just making mud. warm water with a squirt of dish soap and an old toothbrush for the uppers, a magic eraser on white rubber soles works scarily well. laces go in the washing machine in a mesh bag. stuff the shoes with paper and let them air dry, the dryer is what wrecks the glue.
