Huh. We wash tennis shoes all the time, particularly stuff we found for resale. Not like my wife is throwing her heels in there! Or I might stop through a swamp in my combat boots, that’s usually good for a wash.
I saw quite a few posts about it on hiking/sports subreddits in the olden days, it’s used for removing odour from sports shoes. I even tried it myself - depends on the shoe ofc, but like 30°C and lowest/no spin was completely fine. Pre-wipe the mud off, and add some worn old towels for padding, so it’s not just two shoes clanging around in the empty machine.
I guess my question is what are they doing in the wash to begin with. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before
