Brush the mud off the shoes by using an old toothbrush. If your shoes have collected a lot of mud, wait for the mud to dry before removing it. It is easier to take off the mud if it is dry.
Mix warm water with a dollop of soap. Dip a rag into the mixture and wipe away the dirt and stains on your shoes using a circular motion. Using a circular motion will prevent the dirt from spreading out. Do not apply too much pressure as it would ruin the material of the shoes. Rub it lightly until the stains have disappeared.

Wash shoelaces using a washing machine. You may also dry it under the sun. When the shoelaces and shoes are dry, tie the shoelaces back to the shoes. Coat your shoes with water and stain protector which can prevent your tennis shoes from getting a lot of dirt and stains.
