They're going in the freezer as soon as they're absolutely bone dry.
Might need to remove bread from freezer to make room!
I've just put my golf shoes in the washing machine...

If the bread is un-sliced, you could hollow them out and wear them as slippers till your shoes dry

I have hyperflexes as well, I don't use the washing machine, but instead give them the old toothbrush and washing up liquid treatment, works like a charm.

I find a sprinkle of talc in the shoes stops them from smelling.
Been doing that for years.

Just an update.
Despite washing, airing and freezing, the shoes still had a whiff of wet grass.
Top tip
Fold up a piece of kitchen roll to fit into shoe. Sprinkle paper with a few drops of Zoflora disinfectant (available from most supermarkets and hardware stores)
Leave to air.
Shoes now smell very very faintly of Zoflora and no trace of wet grass. The smell is gone not just masked.

Did it get them clean though? I have got a 2nd pair (with open winnings) that I am only going to wear when its bone dry. MY other pair still look awful though.

Louise - mine are the charcoal grey ones chosen because they don't show the dirt!
I've also bought them in silver grey for the summer as they are so comfortable.
The fj website suggests warm soapy water and gentle scrub with soft brush for surface dirt

I wouldnt put golf shoes in a washing machine, as apart from possible damage to the probably plastic paddles within the drum there is a risk of the glue used to bond the sole to uppers being affected by either the temperature of water or the detergent.
Personally I would try hand washing them with water and milton sterilising solution as this will kill all bacteria good and bad, and leave no after smell as most disinfectants etc do.

I thought Homer would've replied DOH !
There you go then. Stand easy. I wouldn't put them in a washing machine but when my shoes get wet I pack them with newspaper or kitchen towel to soak the moisture along with a few sachets of silicone gel, put shoe horns in to retain the shape and then polish when thoroughly dry. I will apply dubbin every 4-5 wears too especially if they have got damp/wet. Smell fine and have lasted well

I thought that you employed a wife to deal with your shoes.
Has she left you????
No (and I'm still the luckiest man around) and of course by "I" I refer to her!
