Cleaning running shoes

Is it ok to use a bit of soap to clean running shoes?

Of course, I don't want to ruin them, and I'm happy for them not to look as white and shiny as when they were new - but that dark grey colour the mesh has acquired isn't very appealing either. Using only water, I can get the rubber and plastic bits to a respectable light grey, but it doesn't seem to make any difference to the mesh parts.

Would it be ok to thoroughly soak them and leave them in the water for quite long, or would they start smelling?

Thanks!
