    I'm sure it says on any receipt I've had, that the item must be returned in a resellable condition.

    When my running shoes have become filthy, I've just used a bucket of water and a nail brush.

    Well that certainly would not apply if there was a manufacturing issue or if the product failed because of faulty assembly/materials.

    However, in this case the OP should have taken notice of the cleaning instructions. I always wash my Adidas trainers and they turn out fine, but a mate put his Mizuno running shoes in the washing machine and the sole came away from the main body of the shoe.
    I don't think that I ever washed my Nike Air Pegasus when I owned them - just as well by the sound of it.

    But manufacturing faults are different.

    It would be a good idea if you reread the whole of my post again.;)
