I'm not sure which is going to come off worst, the machine, the shoes or my nerves!
I've just put my golf shoes in the washing machine...

I'm not sure as to what is this thing called a washing machine of which you speak?
But do some of them not now come with a "trainers" setting? So surely a pair of (presumably dainty) ladies golf shoes will not cause too much bother? So still thy restless nerves ...
(In any case, you can always buy a new pair of shoes. Or washing machine
)

Tis a magic box into which all matter of foul and evil items of clothing (or shoes) are placed, and lo and behold, they emerge clean and fragrant!
I've been told that one needs a pair of ovaries to operate this machine, but this is a dreadful lie

Wash on a low temp 30º or less, most washing machines have a wool or silk setting. Use that and they should be fine.

They are only a dainty size 6 and light as a feather.
Not sure if I would risk a heavy pair of size 13 shoes!

Is it the same thing as something called "the dishwasher"? Or have l gone wrong somewhere.
I tried this on the advice of my Pro with a pair of Callaway Superlites that have that grid finish which grime and dirt gets trapped in. Put them in the washing machine twice and they came out exactly the same!
Won't buy a pair like that again!!
Smooth leather which you can clean properly for me, none of this extra lightweight spiders web design, just attracts dirt you can't clean very well, if at all.

I'm assuming they're spikeless?? Used to wash my running shoes and there was always some debate as to whether the cushioning would be compromised but can't say I noticed.

No, they're synthetic mesh Footjoy EmPower ones.
They got soaked last week trudging through wet rough looking for PPs' errant golf balls, and although I dried them out that night (hotel radiator!) and left them outside for the best part of a week, they stink of wet grass!

Stick them in the freezer. When their dry that is
Works wonders done it with my shoes and hats before
It kills the bacteria that make the smell
Levi suggest it for jeans to reduce fade of colour
Honestly works do it often
Carrier bag in freezer ...

I'll try anything, they are toxic at the moment, even when dry!
I'm not great at labelling things in the freezer, so yes, don't want him complaining that the frozen haddock was a bit chewy!

I have always done this with my trainers (including leather ones) but have never tried it with golf shoes.

Not sure I'd risk a pair of my FJ Icons in the washing machine
Having a teenage boy in the house I can vouch for both the freezer and washing machine method. I also think a bit of bicarbonate can do the trick but I may be wrong there. Netmums is the font of all knowledge on this one.
The main problem tends to be the plastic used in a lot of trainers etc now. Mesh shoes should wash okay.

what ever you do...don't put them in the tumble dryer..............2 hrs later all the stud fittings had melted off.............leaving just one little flappy Nemo stud all by itself.....quite amusing really....
