Work the soap into the canvas so it saturates all the way through. Periodically rinse the cloth in the clean water, then dip it in the cleaning solution and keep going.

You can stuff them with newspaper or another stiff substance to help them keep their shape. Set them in a warm spot with good air circulation so they dry as quickly as possible. Let the laces dry separately, since they may take a little longer to get completely dry. Afterward, you can relace the shoes and wear them right away.  To speed the drying along, try putting your shoes outside in the sun. Proceed with caution if your shoes are a dark color, though, since the sun can bleach them a few shades lighter. You can also use a hair dryer on a warm setting to help them finish drying.
Make a cleaning solution. Dip a washcloth in the soap solution and start cleaning your shoes. Let your shoes air dry.
