Washing Sneakers in the Washer/Dryer

i wash mine in the washer but i never put them in the dryer. the closet where my gas water heater is a pretty good place to dry things.

There is a shelf you can especually buy for that. You hook it on the sides of the dryer somehow so they just sit ontop of it and won't be thrown around the dryer. My hubby doesn't want me to do this either. Have a nice day

Hello Shar. I have never washed my sneakers in the washing machine, but hand-wash only. Our washing machine is only used to wash clothes and sheets and blankets and such. I am wondering whether the sneakers will be badly shaped in the washing machines. Enjoy yourself and take care, friend.

I was mine in the washer and then let them air dry. Not becuse of the banging in the dryer that happens, but because I notice my shoes(which are cheap ones also) tend to last longer this way...

I have, but I don't do it too often. I can't see it being bad for the dryer though. They say when you wash a coat or something of that sort you are to put tennis balls in with it. Tennis balls bang around so it can't be bad if shoes do.

Well I have never washed sneakers/trainers in a washing machine. But I have washed slippers when they have gotten quite dirty. I have no idea if it is bad for the machine, but I guess it must be in the long run as there is probably quite a lot of force exerted on the inner walls of the machine drum. Might be a good idea to contact the manufacturer of your machine to see what they think?

I tried that once, but my mom ringed my neck. it was a chuck taylors so it lost most of its color lol. I'll never do that in my lifetime again. happy mylotting!
