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

            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...

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

                            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...

                                  ^ 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

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