Shoeshiners exist for a reason. There's a science to cleaning shoes.
Shoeshiners are for "nice" shoes that use primarily "hard" materials for the outer layer that can be, well, shined. They don't typically take care of the inner parts where more standard fabrics are nor do they do sneakers.
Sneakers you can toss in the washer and call it a day
I have tried this with little success, I always just assumed they weren't made for that.
that reason is not sneakers
I thought sneakers were shoes.
Airplanes are vehicles, yet it won't do you much good to take them to a car mechanic.
Yeah, but airplanes aren't cars. Sneakers are still shoes though, so the expectation is/was there.
Shoe shiners:
I thought sneakers were shoes.
Would you try to shine sneakers?
If they were as the OP describes, yes. Or whatever the equivalent to sneakers are. I just didn't know it was vastly different or that they could go in the washer without side effects as I've always failed.
