When I first read this I thought how the hell would you get a van into a washing machine lmao. Uh, I dunno wouldn't they break your washing machine with them bashing around in there? Maybe wash them by hand..

[Meanies]

i've put shoes in before and they've come out fine

[MattFr]

look on the vans website for care instructions, on some shoes washing them in a machine can ruin the bonding between the sole and the uppers

[wixard]

i put mine in and they turned out fine, red ones

[Minstrels]

take them to a car wash fgs.

bloody hell when i first read the title i thought it was about putting a Van (as in a Transit, etc) in the car wash.. then Sarah replied "well i put a shoe in there once and it came out fine.."

didnt know you meant footwear, but anyways check the lable/manufacturer and look for how to care for them :)

You can usually put them in the washing machine, that's what I do xD (well my mum does)

[Alkaz]

Yeh you're not meant to but trainers or any sort of shoes in the washing machine really but plenty of people do and they turn out fine. I think it's just so when they're dirty people buy new pairs instead of doing this :P

ive done it and they look really good and nice and clean.

put them on at 30, so not too hot of a wash. took the laces out because i thought they might get caught up in the mechanism or something of the machine.

LMAO me too!

But yeah it's actually fine, I've done it a few times now. I'm sure you mean the slip on ones?

Should be fine, i was all my trainers like this. Wont break the machine either, i was my dunks in it all the time.
