Sneakers are not only washable, but they can be laundered in the washing machine. But make sure you do it properly. Start by sprinkling a liberal amount of baking soda inside the shoes and leaving it overnight to help deodorize them. Then toss them in the washing machine (tuck the laces into the sneakers) along with five or six bath towels. The towels help balance the load so the shoes aren't slamming around inside the machine. Wash on cold with detergent, then air-dry.
