Have you tried anything?
Usually just soap and water works.
Baby wipe or one of those magic erasers can get stubborn marks off.

Chuck them in the washing machine, or use something like cream cleaner or one of those magic eraser sponges.

Jif and a firm toothbrush if you don't want to shove in the washing machine

I’ve tried scrubbing them with soapy water, baby wipes and a bit of hot water with detergent mixed in. I’ll give the washing machine a go!

I’ve found that facewash works really well!

A bit of vanish oxy powder, mix with water and use a shoe brush to scrub it off. Worlds wonders

Cif

I've had success with those Flash magic erasers.

Nail Varnish remover on a cotton wool ball/pad.

Magic erasers then washing machine.

Cif cream every time.

Well I scrubbed them with cif (forgot I had a bottle under the sink) and it worked brilliantly! See pic for comparison. Saved me throwing them in the washing machine Smile

Back in the day, when I had white tennis shoes which had to be cleaned on a regular basis (or woe betide me!) there were products designed specifically for cleaning white canvas shoes. Some of these might help www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_25?sprefix=white+canvas+shoe+cleaner%2Caps%2C1256&crid=25SMPX34YHDQ2&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Awhite+canvas+shoe+cleaner&tag=mumsnetforum-21&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=white+canvas+shoe+cleaner?
