LOL william munny i just throw em too and buy new ones but this is going to be my daughters 4th pair of white vans in less than 3 months. it makes me look like a lazy parent everytime i go the freaken shoe store to buy the same pair of shoes…
so they wont turn yellowish?
Fill washing machine 1/2 full HOT Water
1 cup Tide
1 cup Clorox
1/2 cup white vinegar
Wash 10 minutes
Sun dry
edit…no they won’t turn yellow…you can even whiten them in the sink with hot water, 1 Tbsp baking soda and 1 cup lemon juice.
I have put 2 daughters through 9 years of Cheerleading by using this method on their White Cheer Shoes.

Sorry have no idea don’t buy white shoes for kids. Heck I don’t even buy them white shirts or pants if i can help it.
My aunt though uses vinegar on her kids’ shoes.

I don’t usually buy white, but when the shoes start looking bad, I just buy them new shoes.

I would use a warm sudsy wash clothe and white shoe polish when needed. Never use bleach. Anything with bleach will turn them yellowish.
