Can I dry tennis shoes by putting them into a clothes dryer?

I%26#039;ve got soaking wet tennis shoes - stepped out of my car last night into 10 inches of water. My problem is that I need to use these shoes today. Can I toss them into a regular clothes dryer without melting them? Shrinking them?

Yep you can only not competely a material shoe (a small amount of material won%26#039;t matter). Firstly stuff them with dry socks, this will stop them from shrinking, now really stuff them tight, then put them into a pillow case and tie it at the top, this makes sure they don%26#039;t get damaged from being thrown around the dryer. Turn it on lowest heat setting, if you don%26#039;t have a heat setting just turn it off every 10-15 mins and let them cool for 5.





By the way if they are a completely material shoe forget it, they%26#039;ll shrink and loose thier shape, just stuff them wiht newspaper and place on a radiator or in hot press and hope they dry quickly...!








You should be good to go!

Reply:stick them in a pillow case
Reply:Yes you can or u can hang them out on the washing line. Susie
Reply:Turn your dyer on AIR. That way you won%26#039;t shrink them or melt them.
Reply:Just let them air dry. The dryer will shrink them and damage the insoles....
Reply:Yes but they will be tight when you frist put them on.
Reply:You can put them in a clothes dryer it will dry to a certain extent but then you might have to dry it out for sometime in the sun, no sun then try a Hair Dryer.
