Running is very popular these days and womens running trainers come in a wide range of colours, styles and designs. When it comes to running shoes, there is no one-size-fits-all. Women have different foot shapes and sizes, so it’s important to find a pair that fits you well and also provides the support you need.
Running shoes can take a beating. Whether you are a casual runner or a competitive athlete, the key to maintaining your chosen running shoes is to prevent excessive wear and tear. They go through a lot and can get pretty dirty. It is important to keep your running shoes clean not only for aesthetic reasons, but also to prevent odours and extend the life of your shoes. But, how do you clean them, so they look new all the time? Here are a few tips on how to clean your running shoes so they will last longer and stay looking good.
- Start off by taking the shoes outside. Use a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris from the surface of the shoes. Brush off any dirt, debris, or rocks that may be embedded in the soles. Before you start cleaning the shoes, remove the laces and any insoles and set them aside. These can be washed separately in the washing machine on a delicate cycle.
- If the shoes are really dirty, you can use a mild soap and water solution to clean them. Mix together a solution of mild soap and warm water. Use a soft cloth or toothbrush to scrub the shoes clean gently. Be sure to get in all the nooks and crannies.
- Rinse the shoes thoroughly with clean water and stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture.
- Let the shoes air dry completely overnight before wearing them again.
- Once the shoes are dry, you can replace the insoles and put the laces back in and tie them up. You can also use a shoe polish to make the shoes look shiny and new.
Following these simple steps will help keep your running shoes clean, in good condition and looking new for a long time. With just a little bit of effort, you can extend the life of your running shoes and ensure that they continue to provide the support and comfort you need!
