ya i wash my shoes in there. tis fun i guess. ya i think you can even use bleach if you want them white or lighter. i'm trying to actually give you advice here i'm sorry for my weird wording lol. but yes i think you can. don't put them in the drier though. that would be a prob infinity and beyond. just let them dry naturally and you'll be fine

What are those sneakers made of? If it's leather I wouldn't do it, they will come out looking all scuffed because the polish on them has been worn off. For leather you should buy a cleaning product (like Tana), spray and scrub as per directions on the can and when dry spray with water repellent. If the sneakers are canvas, etc then washing them will be just fine. Don't dry in the dryer though.

Yep. The Washer was built to take heavy hits, but the Dryer was NOT. You must remember when air drying the shoes that it could take days for them to fully dry depending on the thickness of the shoe.

Actually, I did this the other day because my shoes were really dirty. I put a ton of shout on them and let them sit a while then put them in with hot water and they came out looking brand new. They are a mesh material, so it probably depends on that. Some materials might crack. Good luck!

Yes, but wash them with something heavy or bulky to keep them from floating in the washer.
Don't use the dryer. If you can let them dry in the sun, that is the surest way to kill off any odor causing bacteria.

Yes, but wash them WITH something else, like towels and such. nothing too delicate. Dont put em in the dryer though! put em in the sun, even if it is behind a window. Leave yourself enough time for them to dry out to their own.

It's quite alright to do that, as long as you wash them alone with no other articles of clothing. My mom does this all the time and the shoes always come up out clean and unharmed.

Sure, no problem. But DO NOT put them in the dryer. Besides making the devil's own noise, the heat wrecks the material. Let them air dry.

yes you can wash them, air dry them . Its safest to wash them with a heavier load, such as towels so they dont kick your washer.

you can but beware you will ruin them. the manufactures do recommend but not all shoes are meant to be washed. read the instructions but be aware that you will destroy them. they wont wear like they use to..
