Take an old toothbrush and get all the dirt off. Then spary with a laundry stain remover (I like "Zout"). Let sit and then take your toothbrush and scrub. Depending on how dirty the shoes are, it may take more than one time. Take out the laces before you start.

Never use bleach because it tends to turn the canvas yellow.

I don't wash mine in the washer and never put them in the dryer.

I get a bucket, go outside and wash them by hand. When clean, I rinse them with the garden hose.

Put the shoes in the sun to dry.

You may even want to buy new laces or just wash them too.

I don't have white ones, but I sprayed my tans with silicone spray. Helps a lot!

I actually do wash mine in the washer. I air dry - no dryer.

I may not have the same kind you have, but they are white Sketchers.

I have a pair of Skechers (very casual - the bungee cord style) that are about 5 years old. They are a tan kind of suede-y fabric.

They had gotten some dirty spots on them that I just couldn't get off no matter how hard I tried. In desperation, I sprayed Resolve carpet cleaning foam on them and scrubbed them with a vegetable brush. Amazingly, they look like new!

I have a pair of tan Skechers and I throw them in the washer and then let them air dry.
