Washing runners

Nature Boy

Not sure if this is the right place to post but...

I'm just wondering how you guys usually go about washing runners? Mine have gotten fairly smelly lately and febreeze isn't doing the job! Would a quick wash in the washing machine be safe? If not how would you clean them?

Thanks

quick wash in the machine is fine for 99% of runners, aye.
The label says not to wash, but tbh I wouldn't mind that. They are fine

i throw my runners into the machine when ever they get really bad... never had any problems...

Runners are generally no good for actual running after they've been through the wash. For general wear though they'll be fine.

Put them in a pillow case when your washing them, saves on the wear & tear

Now that, I have never heard!

But yes, if my runners get really bad then I just throw
them in for a quick wash, and they're fine.

I have heard of that but not tried it yet. I wash mine every once in a while, no problems.

The tops pf some runners sometimes turn up so the pillow case would be ideal!

I suggest you throw out your smelly runners.
I never wear the damn things for exactly the reasons you've outlined.They get dirty and smelly.
Disgusting footwear.
