There are ways to increase the number of miles you can get out of a shoe. If your shoes get wet then let them dry at room temperature and in a dry room. Avoid placing your shoes directly on a heater to prevent the midsole from deteriorating. If you do place them near a heater then stuff them with newspaper to prevent distortion. Never put your shoes in the washing machine and/or dryer. If you do need to clean your shoes, use warm water, mild soap and a scrubbing brush.
