How to wash shoes in the washing machine without risking deforming them

Cycle: Gentle or delicate

Temperature: Cold or lukewarm water (avoid hot water)

Spin: Low speed to prevent deforming

6. Dry Carefully

Air dry only – Do not put shoes in the dryer; heat can warp them.

Maintain shape: Stuff shoes with paper towels or clean cloths while drying.

Drying spot: Place in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heaters.

Extra Tips

Wash laces and insoles in a mesh bag separately.

For white soles, gently scrub with a toothbrush after washing if needed.

Avoid frequent machine washing; spot cleaning is gentler and prolongs shoe life.
