Washing Machine Shoe Washing Bag 36 x 16cm - Anti-Deformation Mesh Bag in Grey, Blue or Yellow

Washing trainers loose in a machine is how both the shoes and the machine get damaged — shoes batter the drum and the door glass on every spin, and they come out with crushed toes and split seams. This bag fixes both problems at once. The anti-deformation structure holds each shoe in shape through the cycle rather than letting it fold and crease, and the padded body cushions the drum so the banging stops. At 36 x 16cm it is genuinely large, taking full adult trainers rather than the child sizes small bags are limited to, and the mesh lets water and detergent through freely so the shoes actually get clean. Grey, blue or yellow, singly or in pairs for two shoes at once.

Buying guide

Buy the two-piece option if you are washing a pair, since one shoe per bag is what keeps each in shape and stops them battering each other. Before washing, knock the mud off, remove the laces and insoles and wash those separately — insoles left in never dry properly and are the usual source of lingering smell. Use a cold or 30 degree cycle with a slow spin: heat is what unglues the sole from the upper, and a fast spin is what deforms the shoe, so a gentle cycle protects both the shoes and your machine regardless of the bag. Air-dry only, stuffed with paper and away from direct sun or any heater, since a tumble dryer will destroy trainers. Leather, suede and shoes with lights or glued embellishments should not go in a machine at all. Rinse and dry the bag itself so it does not go musty between uses.

How it compares

Against washing shoes loose, a structured bag protects the shoes from creasing and the drum and door glass from being battered. Compared with a plain mesh laundry bag, an anti-deformation body holds the shoe's shape rather than letting it fold. Against hand-washing, a machine cycle in a bag is far quicker for canvas trainers. Against a single bag, the two-piece option keeps a pair separated.

Which shoes should not go in?
Leather, suede, and anything with lights or glued embellishments. Remove laces and insoles first and wash those separately.
