Didn't expect to care this much about washing work trainers, but I tried it after a drink was spilled on them. The thing I noticed most was that there was far less thumping around inside the drum. Once they had dried, the shoes felt properly refreshed after they had air-dried, and the dusty outer fabric showed the biggest improvement.

I bought this because cleaning white trainers by hand had become a proper chore after a wet weekend. Once they had dried, the shoes came out noticeably cleaner without losing their shape, and the mesh around the toes showed the biggest improvement. For our household, it has made the cleaning routine much easier.

My first test was with football trainers once they started looking properly grubby, and they were honestly in a state. I should add that I brushed off the loose mud beforehand, which seemed to help. Even so, the shoes were visibly fresher while still keeping their shape.

Rather than spend another evening scrubbing canvas pumps, I gave this a go when they were looking tired. The thing I noticed most was that I ended up using it on another washable pair a few days later. I should add that it did not erase every old stain, although normal grime came away well. For our household, I would happily use it again on another suitable pair.

The real test was an old favourite pair after several weeks of wear, because they looked beyond a quick wipe. I was not expecting a miracle, but the shoes looked surprisingly good considering how dirty they were. For our household, it does exactly the practical job I wanted.

After putting off the job for ages, I finally washed school trainers after a week of commuting. Once they had dried, the shoes looked refreshed rather than over-washed, and the fabric around the sides showed the biggest improvement. The thing I noticed most was that I avoided the usual sink full of dirty water and soap. For our household, it has taken a lot of the faff out of cleaning shoes.

We used it on running shoes once the autumn weather turned wet and I was expecting a lot more hassle. Once they had dried, the shoes came out tidy enough to wear again once dry, and the uppers and laces showed the biggest improvement. I mainly wanted an easier routine, and that is what I got.

A friend mentioned this after seeing my commuting trainers when they had started smelling a bit stale. The thing I noticed most was that the process was straightforward enough that I would happily repeat it. After drying, the road grime looked noticeably fresher. For our household, it has earned a place next to the washing powder.

I was nervous about putting my husband's trainers in the machine, especially after a muddy dog walk. I should add that I followed the shoe maker's washing guidance as well. The fact that I did not have to scrub every panel separately with an old toothbrush still made the whole job feel worthwhile.

One Sunday I decided to deal with dog-walking shoes before going away instead of ignoring them again. The thing I noticed most was that muddy-shoe laundry became much less of a weekend chore. Once they had dried, the shoes were cleaner around the fabric sections than I expected, and the mud-stained sides showed the biggest improvement.

By the time everyday trainers needed a proper clean after a festival weekend, I wanted an easier option. Once they had dried, the shoes were cleaned more evenly than when I do them by hand, and the lighter panels showed the biggest improvement. For our household, the convenience matters more to me than anything fancy.

Before replacing my daughter's trainers, I thought I would try washing them properly after a muddy practice session. I should add that I used a gentle cycle and let the shoes dry naturally afterwards. Even so, the shoes looked evenly cleaned rather than patchy.

Cleaning my son's trainers had turned into a whole routine, so I tried this when hand-scrubbing stopped making much difference. I was not expecting a miracle, but the shoes looked evenly cleaned rather than patchy. In everyday use, the time saved is the main reason I keep using it.

To be fair, I expected very little when I put weekend trainers through after a month of near-daily use. The thing I noticed most was that I ended up using it on another washable pair a few days later. I should add that I would still pretreat anything really stubborn before washing. In everyday use, it has been a genuinely useful little addition.

What persuaded me was how awkward PE shoes had become to clean before the new school term. Once they had dried, the shoes looked much better after drying than they did beforehand, and the front and sides showed the biggest improvement. The thing I noticed most was that I avoided the usual sink full of dirty water and soap. In everyday use, it has made the cleaning routine much easier.

This got its first proper use with gym shoes after getting caught in heavy rain. Once they had dried, the shoes looked much better after drying than they did beforehand, and the mesh sections showed the biggest improvement. I mainly wanted an easier routine, and that is what I got.

I picked one up after looking at white trainers when they were looking tired and realising a wipe was not enough. The thing I noticed most was that the process was straightforward enough that I would happily repeat it. After drying, the mesh around the toes looked noticeably fresher. In everyday use, it does exactly the practical job I wanted.

For anyone wondering whether it is worth the cupboard space, I tested it on light-coloured trainers before packing them for a trip. I should add that I still check the care label first and only use it on machine-washable shoes. The fact that I did not have to scrub every panel separately with an old toothbrush still made the whole job feel worthwhile.

A particularly dirty pair of football trainers became my first experiment once the autumn weather turned wet. The thing I noticed most was that muddy-shoe laundry became much less of a weekend chore. Once they had dried, the shoes came out noticeably cleaner without losing their shape, and the mud around the edges showed the biggest improvement.

Hand washing school trainers was getting tedious, so I changed tactics after a muddy dog walk. I should add that I would still pretreat anything really stubborn before washing. Even so, the shoes felt properly refreshed after they had air-dried.

The reason I ordered it was simple: work trainers looked awful after several weeks of wear. Once they had dried, the shoes came out with the worst of the dirt gone, and the dusty outer fabric showed the biggest improvement. In everyday use, it is much easier than standing at the sink with a brush.

My teenager's an old favourite pair gave it a very realistic first test after a festival weekend. The thing I noticed most was that I ended up using it on another washable pair a few days later. I should add that the shoes needed a proper air-dry afterwards, which was expected. In everyday use, it has made trainer cleaning feel far less annoying.

I had almost given up on canvas pumps before trying this when they had started smelling a bit stale. Once they had dried, the shoes were visibly fresher while still keeping their shape, and the pale canvas showed the biggest improvement. The thing I noticed most was that the shoes stayed together neatly during the cycle. In everyday use, the convenience matters more to me than anything fancy.

A wet spell left my husband's trainers looking rough, so I tried this after a muddy practice session. Once they had dried, the shoes looked surprisingly good considering how dirty they were, and the toe area showed the biggest improvement. I mainly wanted an easier routine, and that is what I got.

The pair that convinced me was commuting trainers before the new school term. I should add that I brushed off the loose mud beforehand, which seemed to help. The fact that I did not have to scrub every panel separately with an old toothbrush still made the whole job feel worthwhile.

I was mostly curious whether it would help with running shoes before going away. I was not expecting a miracle, but the shoes looked brighter without seeming battered by the wash. In everyday use, I can see myself reaching for it quite often.

Once dog-walking shoes were beyond a quick wipe, I tried a machine wash when hand-scrubbing stopped making much difference.

For me, it has taken a lot of the faff out of cleaning shoes.

I only ordered it because PE shoes kept coming home filthy before packing them for a trip. I should add that I would not use it for delicate suede or leather. Even so, the shoes came up well enough that I stopped thinking about replacing them.

My usual brush-and-soap routine was not helping my daughter's trainers, so I switched methods after getting caught in heavy rain. The thing I noticed most was that muddy-shoe laundry became much less of a weekend chore. Once they had dried, the shoes came out tidy enough to wear again once dry, and the light mesh showed the biggest improvement.

Didn't expect to care this much about washing a pair I was about to replace, but I tried it after a wet weekend. The thing I noticed most was that the wash felt more controlled than simply throwing the shoes into the drum. I should add that I kept the spin low because I prefer to be cautious with trainers. For me, I am glad I gave it a try.

I bought this because cleaning gardening trainers by hand had become a proper chore after a run of gym sessions. Once they had dried, the shoes lost most of the everyday grime on a gentle cycle, and the dried-on dirt showed the biggest improvement. The thing I noticed most was that the shoes stayed together neatly during the cycle. For me, it is much easier than standing at the sink with a brush.
