What is the best way to wash my tennis shoes so they smell like new?

So I took my best pair of NIKEs to Sea World and now they smell like a sewer. They are white and gray but I'm afraid to use bleach or even put them in the washer machine...

It should be ok to throw them in the washer with a little bit of bleach. I usually pour some shout in with the bleach though. Wash like you would a regular load of laundry but DON'T dry them in the dryer!! It may take a few days to dry in the house or hang them outside. Good Luck on that!!
Reply:You can wash them with a small amount of bleach. And I wouldn't put them in the dryer, take them outside and unlace them so that they are open as much as possible. Let them dry in the sunshine, sunshine is the best for removing bad smells. When dry, put a new dryer sheet in each shoe until you get ready to wear them again.
Reply:go to a local shoe store and buy some shoe cleaner and clean them w/ the cleaner by hand and if that doesnt work soak them in some detergent in your bathtub for about an hour and then take a scrub brush to the inside of them and then take them out in the hot sun and let them dry, ring them out as much as possible and pick a sunny hot day so they will get dry... also while they are drying spray on some frebreeze.... good luck
Reply:DO NOT BLEACH LADY!!! Please dont youll ruin them. just wash them.theyll smell like your detergrnt.
