nope- it's perfectly fine. take the sole inserts out though. i've washed my nike shox three times. they do shrink a little, but that's the only thing that happens. and once you wear them they strech back out. and i'd set the washer on warm or cool, just in case (:

I think washing sneakers will only have a good outcome. To the best of my knowledge, they should stay in tact.

To my knowledge, the only thing that can happen to running shoes when they are washed is them getting clean. I've washed my running shoes a couple of times and they are still in good shape. Putting them in the dryer, however, could shrink them a little bit. To dry them, shove newspaper in them real tight and leave it over night. In the morning take the newspaper out, and they should be dry.

Also, before you wash them, take the inserts out of your shoe, don't want to take a risk of ruining them in any way.

It depends on the shoe itself. If they're fairly plain and don't have anything on them which could get damaged and aren't, say, suede, then it should be fine. Put them in a pillowcase first. I'd put them in a cool wash. and make sure you dry them properly.

I think that it depends on the brand. And how cheap the shoe is. If it's Nike the worst thing that could possibly happen is lose some of it's color, and that's only if you don't wash them how you are suppose to. Hoped I Help.
