For hassle-free cleaning, some shoes are ideal for machine washing, especially fabric shoes such as canvas tennis shoes, Converse, fleece slippers like Bensimon or Pataugas, and even some hiking boots. It’s preferable to have them sewn rather than glued. Be sure to consult the manufacturer’s instructions inside each pair to ensure that your shoes can withstand this treatment.
Our tips for machine-washing your shoes
Before placing your shoes in the washing machine, carefully remove the laces and insoles for optimum washing.
Opt for the lowest temperature (30°C) and spin speed (400 rpm maximum) to preserve the quality of your shoes.
Use conventional washing products, but avoid fabric softener, which can alter certain materials.
Add a towel to protect your shoes from bumps and rubbing.
Our tips for drying your shoes
After washing, gently remove your shoes and let them air-dry at room temperature.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, radiators or tumble dryers, which could compromise their integrity.
For extra protection, invest in special shoe-washing bags.
