stuff them with some cloths and put then in a pillowcase or similar then give them a good old machine wash - works for me

[Seul]

I'm trying that right now!.. Cheers Geo!..

Well what d'ya know - as new!.. I don't have shoe trees or whatever you call them so I had to improvise to keep them in shape whilst drying… Also: I had the brilliant idea of putting brandnew, unwashed RED hankies in them so of course they bled and now my once grey parts are purple... Lol... I'm an ee'jit...

eejit is exactly the word  ::)

Why does a Belgian have a baseball bat?  I can only assume it's for saying "hello" to strangers…

[Seul]

It's for playing baseball indoors…

Thinking of washing those Diors with some black dye… Wondering what that would do to them...

Experimenting on 200 € sneaks - dear God...

[Geo]

to repeat . . . eejit

[Seul]

Hahaha tell me about it… What was I thinking???

You reckon dyeing them will help or..?

[Giles]

Dyeing possibly, dying definitely….........

[Seul]

Not gonna overdye them - wouldn't work with the colours… Tossed 'm back into the machine... Hopefully they'll be less pink/ purple after another wash...

Dude, at least not as bad as my anni OD experiment…

Sympathy tho.

^ Seul - Have you thought of localizing the dye to just the canvas part?  Maybe using a small paintbrush with the hot black dye - the issue you will have is that the dye will not take the same with each material on the sneaker to make it look uniform

Someone on another board suggested putting them in a dishwasher… Eeeeehhh...  :-\

[Giles]

You know a using dishwasher is one of the best ways of cooking a large Salmon?

[Seul]

I do all my cooking in a bidet… I'm hopelessly outdated...

I googled it, no lie. Never heard of that.

[Seul]

Washed them a 2nd time - purple/ pink is 95 % gone… Woohoo!..

Now back to my mate and the 2 bottles of Riesling he brought... 

[Giles]

Drinking straight out of the bidet I hope….........
