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.
Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them?
over_clox@lemmy.world 15 hours agoWait, you wash your shoes?
I only do that when I stepped into a doggy landmine…

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.

Meh, nobody in their right mind would give me any sort of shoe warranty once they realize I ride brakeless BMX flatland…
This isn’t exactly the clip I was looking for, but what the fuck you expect a flatland rider to do with both wrists sprained?..

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.
