Marathon Weekend 2027

How is everyone cleaning their running shoes? Do you throw them in the machine and hope for the best? Sink clean? Just use a rag and toothbrush? The toe boxes on mine are looking a bit dirty from spring rains.

Do what now??

The problem is I'm already 2 pairs in (Mickey and MW26) and I'm pretty sure they will get me at W&D and MW27. At some point I need to run in them or I'll have more shoes than parks.

But, that's a good thing! LOL. I am with you. I have three pairs of rD Brooks. And I know I will definitely get more at MW27. Heck, I keep thinking about snagging a pair of the DL ones on ebay.

Running shoes I just toss in washing machine if they get particularly gross, cold water gentle cycle. I've never had an issue doing this.
My RunDisney Brooks and other shoes I don't destroy every 4-5 months running in... I use whatever sneaker specific cleaning product I can find in my son's room.

i run on a compact dirt/gravel trail and my shoes will change color after a nice long run. they go in the wash on delicate and then air dry. have never had any issues and my shoes will usually like 5-6 months before i retire them.
