All-Star Washing Shoes?

[xtremeteal4life]

Washing machine, NO DRYER. I repeat: NO DRYER. They WILL shrink. Then Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for the leather. I promise, you won't go wrong.

That's right, I use a Mr. Clean magic eraser too! I forgot about that...if you're good about smaller maintenance I've found that the will look great before they get to a point of no return

does anyone know how to wash nfinity phoenix?

I would call their customer service and ask them if you're unsure...but they told me that you pull the insoles out of the bottom and stick the shoes on the top rack of your dishwasher.

Have only done washing machine, no dryer, but have been washing cheer shoes, running shoes and so on for years. Never lost a pair, but do it when you have time to take action and get new shoes if necessary. Only do it a couple of times a year. Dishwasher idea would be easier on shoes with holes, I would imagine. However, when you sense a dead animal is in the house, and you creep up and just find your shoes, it is time to take the risk!

I wash my Nfinitys in the washing machine9without shoelaces) and put them in a pillowcase in the dryer and put the heat on low/medium

I put my no limits in the dish washer.
I have put them in the washing machine before, but when you put them in the dish washer they don't soak in the water. Also the dish washer operates at a much higher temp and cleans them better.

I use a Clorox bleach pen for the mesh part of Passions. I let it sit and then towel it off and let dry. It helps a lot, but won't make it perfect.

I tried to wash evolutions twice in the washer, and both times she had a new hold in the bottom of the shoe within a week. I think it weakens the sole. I will never wash them in the washer again. It's bad enough we go through 2 pairs per year anyway lol.

Nfinity recommends the dishwasher - and it sanitizes them!!!

alot of people do wash their shoes so i wouldn't think it's a problem.. but you should buy to pairs so that you have an older pair for practice and break the others in a few times and they'll be nice and clean for comp.:)

Psht, who needs to wash them when you can just bathe them in a cloud of Febreze! :)

i made the mistake of putting then in the dryer. wouldnt do it for any other shoe, but i felt like these shoes wouldnt matter. only a month old and left ankle lock loop frayed up and broke:/

After every practice, I put dryer sheets in the bottom of my shoes as soon as I take them off. Keeps 'em smelling super fresh. Had my team hooked on it, too.
