How do you wash your Vans Shoes?

[R3V]

Hey Guise,
Just wondering if any of you know how to wash black/black Vans Authentic? My shoes are now dirty with dirt and water stains... im hoping to not fade the shoes anymore, if not gain more darkness in the material. if anyone has any methods or links to share, please share

I just use an old toothbrush with water and dish soap...

What jab said is perfect.

Any store that sells shoes sells shoe cleaner for like 5 bucks. I got black/grey checkered vans slip-on and I just use that.

Hot, Warm, Room Temperature or Cold Water?

I usually brush/scrub the sides... the lower part, idk what they're called, the hard one.

then use an old Tshirt, or sock and wipe off the dirt.
really depends on how dirty it is, I use warm water on a sock/old tshirt and wipe it off . i like wash them weekly.
hard to explain T_T

@Jabuuty671

Well do you ever fully submerge the shoes in the warm water?

[Jabuuty671]

no.... never
I don't even drench it in a lot of water. just enough to get rid of the visible stains/dirt
then I let it dry out in front of a fan outside under shade.
