White shoe polish.

If they are canvas, you can run them through the washing machine with detergent and a little bleach. (Clorox 2 if colored)

If they are leather, you need a good leather cleaner. I suggest going to a shoe repair shop. Don’t use the crap from Walmart.

I wash tennis shoes in the washing machine all the time. One of my children was a cross country runner. He ran a race once that was so muddy with new shoes on, the mud pulled the shoe right off his foot. A spectator saw what happened and returned the shoe to him at the end of the race, which he finished running in his sock. I took that totally muddy shoe tossed it in the wash and it came out like new. The kids on his cross country team couldn’t believe it was the same shoe. Funny story but true. Don’t be afraid to wash your tennis shoes just like other laundry. You can air dry them or partially dry them in the dryer with some towels, so they are not so noisy. These were not cheap canvas shoes either.
