  Wait, you wash your shoes?

  I only do that when I stepped into a doggy landmine…

    Yeah I do once a while which also gives them a week of rest before I go on with them. You just don’t dry them in the dryer, you air dry them.

      Yeah ill do this only when I start noticing a smell that shouldn’t be there after only wearing them for a few hours. I know its time.

    How do wash shoes without damaging them?

    If I have a laundry of work clothes, I put the shoes in a pillowcase, then in the middle of the clothes. Alternatively, you can try freezing them. It works pretty well to get rid of smells.

      Awesome advice 👍

      No dice for me though, washers just destroy my shoes like 5x faster than my own footwear and BMX riding.

      Foot/shoe smell means nothing to me, I don’t smell my feet or shoes.

      Look at the wear on my right shoe. I’m definitely due for new shoes, but these are my ‘dirty job’ shoes…

    I guess I don’t have delicate shoes. I just throw them in the washing machine.

      Not referring to the shoes I posted, but I’ve never found a pair of shoes that can be safely (or legally) thrown in a washing machine.

      We don’t have our own washing or drying machines here, we have to use laundromats. You throw shoes or boots in there, you’ll get charged with sabotage… ☹️

        Ahh damn that sucks. It makes it super easy for tennis shoes/sneakers.
