With a sheer white sole, this sneaker looks unrealistically cool. The outsole on such models is very soft and made of foam, so a lot of dirt collects on the lining itself and along the spongy sidewalls of the "boost". Small stains can be removed with a tissue or a special pencil. In case of large areas of contamination, you will need to wash it in a washing machine or clean it with a special shoe cleaner. Don't worry, though, as the outsole of the Ultra Boost will look like new again with very little effort.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: How to remove stains

1 Rub the soles and edges with a damp cloth. Run a napkin or damp cloth over the sole between the grooves in the rubber protector. Take another tissue and gently wipe down the edges of the shoe.
- After the wet wipe, dry the surface with a paper towel.
- Any damp cloth will work to remove dirt, but you can also use antibacterial or special stain remover wipes.
2 Use a whitening gel to remove dark or stubborn stains. If wet wipes don't work, the bleaching gel in the form of a pencil will deal with the stains. Remove the cap from the pencil and apply the compound to the stain. For best results, machine wash your shoes afterwards.
3 Use white paint or an oil-based marker to hide stubborn stains. These products can be purchased at an office supply store. Remove the cap and apply paint to the contaminated surface. You can also paint on clean areas to get an even color on the sole. Leave it on for a few hours until the paint is completely dry.
- Oil-based touch-up pencils and markers give off toxic fumes, so work in a well-ventilated room. Take a break if you feel dizzy.

Method 2 of 3: How to machine wash Ultra Boost

1 Unlace your sneakers. If the laces also need to be washed, put them in a delicate bag and wash with your sneakers.
2 Put your sneakers in the washing machine. You can wash them with towels, blankets or sheets. You can also wash your sneakers separately from other items.
3 Measure out 75 milliliters (1/4 cup) of detergent or bleach. Colored sneakers should use colored laundry detergents, while whites should use bleach. Add detergent or bleach to the washing machine drum and close the door.
4 Select a washing mode. Set to a normal wash cycle at a medium temperature. Warm water will deal with dirt and stains better than cold water. At the very beginning of the wash, you can hear a strong clatter of sneakers on the drum, but this is normal.
5 Leave your sneakers overnight until dry. Place your sneakers in a dry, clean place. Do not use a dryer as this will deform the shoes. Lace up your dry sneakers and wear with pleasure.

Method 3 of 3: How to Hand Wash Ultra Boost

1 Get a bowl of water, two brushes, shoe cleaner, and paper towels. Keep everything close at hand so that it is convenient to use the materials while working. For this procedure, you will need soft, hard-bristled brushes.
- You can buy a shoe cleaner at a shoe store, supermarket, or online.
- If you don't have a shoe cleaner on hand, mix equal parts water and dish detergent to create a soapy mixture.
2 Scrub the white edges of the sole with a soft brush. Dampen the brush with water and dab some shoe cleaner on it. Do not rub hard, just brush gently around the edges of the shoe. Use light pressure to avoid damaging delicate material.
3 Scrub the sole of your shoe with a stiff brush. Now soak a stiff brush in water and apply the cleaner to it. The cleaner will foam during the cleaning process. Be sure to brush thoroughly into the groove of each rubber groove in the sole. Move the brush in small circular motions to remove any dirt.
4 Blot the soap off with paper towels. Remove all foam from the soles of your shoes and the sides of your sneakers. This will take 2-3 paper towels.
5 Dry your sneakers before putting them back on. You can leave your sneakers outdoors until they dry completely. It will take about two hours to dry before being worn again.
