Should You or Can You Put A Leather Shoe in the Washing Machine and then the Dryer?

I apologize for the quality of the video but done in my office with FaceBook Live but the message is important

I get this question all the time:

Can leather upper shoes or any footwear be put into a washing machine or a dryer?

Well, the answer is NO for several reasons.

In this video, you will find out some of these reasons for which the significant fact is that all standard footwear use glue in the construction of the shoe.

The outsole (bottom) of the shoe, even it is stitched, is usually secured to the upper with glue.

This clement glue will not take full submerging in a washing machine (a fuller explanation below) and cannot take the heat and tumble of a dryer.

The clement glue will weaken and will shorten the life of the shoe in half or more.

The tumbling of both the washer and dryer will destroy the material and the glue as well.
In this video, I have some suggestions for you on how to clean leather shoes and even canvas or tennis shoes so take the time to take a look.

Here’s a reply that I got today, from my video, and my answer in more detail:

So your boots that are designed to walk thru wet snow for hours will fall apart if you wash them for 10 minutes??? I don’t buy it.

DTF Wide Shoes – Therapeutic Footwear

6 minutes ago

Snow and washing machine are two different worlds.

To submerge in water, for a period of time, and water that has harmful chemicals dealing with leather and especially the Cement Clue that keeps the sole and upper together was not designed to take any form of tumbling and hard battering and being in chemicals and hard conditions for 10 minutes plus.

Then, some people have the idea of using the dryer as well and the heat kills the cement clue.

A number of reasons why we say no!

In Conclusion,
