I know this is a weird question, but I'm bored and curious . I heard a girl saying that she washed her shoes in the washing machine. I was just curious if anyone out there has done it.

Ive washed my shoes before in the washing machine and tossed them in the dryer.

I usually get micro towel with a little bit of dish washing soap Dawn and just start scrubbing and make them look like new. and take of my shoe laces..

I wash mine and put them on top of the dryer upside down on a towel while drying other clothes.

i wash mine too, i just stuff the insides with microfiber towels to get them to retain their shape while air drying... i don't want to have a brand new looking pair of shoes all curled up like a potato chip lol. Also, if your gonna use the dryer make sure you run it on low heat and toss a couple towels in for good measure, the heat destroys the glue holding your soles on
