Can you wash trainers in the washing machine?

Question

My trainers are getting dirty, would they be safe if I put themin the washing machine?

Answer 1

Put them in a old pillow case first, tie the end then in they go.

Answer 2

I have washed my trainers a couple of times in the washing machine, although I have been told not to do it too many times, as it can damage the drum I think, but I put mine in a pillow case and wash them on their own then tumble dry alone, still in the pillow case and they come up a treat.

Answer 3

Answer 6

wow at first glance I thought you were referring to training pants that toddlers wear.
Are trainers sneakers? I wash mine all the time in a front loader. let them dry in the sun wide open- tongue pulled back.
In fact I wash all my shoes. If you put them on while still slightly damp they form to your foot and are more comfortable.

Answer 7

yes, but to protect the machine wrap each trainer into a towel and tie it securely.
