Default Anybody wash their tennis shoes?

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..

Throw 'em in the washer, let them dry in the sun.

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
