 How To Keep Yeezy 350 Bottoms From Getting Dirty

One of the best ways to keep your Yeezy 350 bottoms looking clean is by frequent maintenance. The longer you don’t clean your shoes, the harder it is to clean them.

Using Pencil Eraser To Clean Yeezy 350 Bottoms

One easy way to keep your Yeezy soles looking fresh is to clean them with a pencil eraser periodically. This is a super easy way to clean your soles because it doesn’t require any scrubbing.

An eraser will do a superb job removing any dirt or scuffs on your Yeezys. If you have any suede shoes, erasers do an exceptional job cleaning suede as well (which is notoriously difficult to clean). 

While an eraser may not remove every last bit of dirt, it is a great way to extend the life of your Yeezy 350s

Keep The Shoes In The Original Box

If you are a sneakerhead, you’ve probably been using this technique for a while. Storing your shoes in the box is a fantastic way to keep them clean and extend the life of the shoe. 

You’d be surprised how much dust and dirt builds up on your shoes when you leave them sitting out. 

In addition, if you don’t want to wear the shoes at all, or just wear them a very small amount, keeping them in the original box will guarantee they stay in new-like condition. 

Use Silica Packs While Storing 

How To Clean Bottom Of Shoes

If you’ve never used silica packs before to store your shoes, we highly recommend picking some up. They are a cheap addition to your shoe maintenance routine that will extend the life of all your shoes.

Silica packs are those little packs you find in pre-packed food that keeps the food fresh. Silica does an incredible job absorbing moisture and unwanted smells, which ends up being exactly what you want when trying to keep your footwear looking as good as possible. 

Avoid Wearing Your Yeezys In The Dirt  

This may seem obvious, but above all avoid wearing your Yeezys in dirty conditions if you care about how they look. 

Try to keep your Yeezy bottoms on concrete sidewalks and indoors, but if you have to step on dirt try to walk slowly to minimize getting any dirt on the shoes themselves.
