The Logic Verdict

Let it Dry. Dry mud turns to dust. Wet mud turns to dye.

The Science

Mud is soil suspended in water. If you wipe it wet, you push soil into the fibers.

Step-by-Step Removal

  1. Wait: Let the shoes dry completely.
  2. Bang: Bang soles together to knock off chunks.
  3. Brush: Use a dry stiff brush to dust off the rest.
  4. Wipe: Use a damp cloth for any residue.
