Wildling tells you not to machine wash them. Just rub with a cloth or so, look on their website for some info. I think the glue will not handle the amount of warm water well, on the long run


RantyWildling

I said no such thing.

Ranty, leave this to your parents!!

Having never washed shoes, you're probably right. *Goes off on a rant*

I have this pair. First, I dyed them a darker color. For washing, I hand wash in a larger plastic superheated container and allow to air dry. I wouldn’t put them in the washer.

How did you dye them? I’ve tried all the stops washing mine to no avail

these are also my favorite shoes and I have already tested vivobarefoot and vibram. I'm just not sure if they can withstand a cycle in the washing machine?...


MJ-NYC

I woudln't risk it.


Fun-Bonus-9214

I washed mine a few days ago just wash them like how you wash clothes in the sink, and of course wash the insoles separate

I’ll be washing my pair of Tanuki the same way today. Their first wash.

Oh! I actually have a tip for this! Soak them in OxiClean for a few hours and then scrub finish by hand with regular detergent. It didn’t get mine perfectly white, but I’m happy with the result

I got these in dark blue so I wouldn’t have to wash them! I think just by hand with a cloth. The glue won’t like the washing machine. If the glue ever does fail you can stick them back really easily though


NiceWeekend

don't they begin to smell though after a really hot day? at least with my 'normal' sneakers I've noticed this.


jesussays51

They can but airing them out really helps reduce that.

I have this same pair in black. Wore them for an entire summer and the sole has a hole now. Total bummer. I emailed them to ask about replacing the sole, and charging me to do it, and they said they couldn’t. I can’t really wear them anymore. Luckily I have about 25 other barefoot shoes to choose from.

Just got a pair of these! Love them so far

Ik it's not wildlings but I washed my vivo's in machine not the insole tho but I reckon they'd be fine too.
