Perhaps the only thing more tedious than hand washing dirty dishes is attempting to hand wash dirty shoes. When your favorite footwear still looks a little grungy and you’ve had it with the scrubbing, it’s time to try these highly-rated washing machine bags. Especially when they’re on sale for 20 to25% off depending on the coupons, depending on your preferred colors — with the white and yellow options will give you the largest discount.
The kit comes with two chenille microfiber shoe containers and four adjustable shoe trees. Reviewers say they’re “shocked,” “surprised” and “blown away,” by the set’s speedy results. “I’ve never experienced a cleaner like this ever!!” a reviewer writes. “One time in the wash and my kids’ shoes look brand new. I am in absolute AWE!!”
Say goodbye to elbow grease and horrible thudding noises to embrace the speed, ease and effectiveness of these versatile bags.
Called a “must-have” for tired parents and “one of the best purchases” reviewers have ever made on Amazon, these laundry bags are a little way to make life a lot easier. The “cocoon” design engulfs your shoe in fiber, giving a thorough cleaning to the whole surface. And the insertable trees ensure your favorite kicks keep their shape. They’re also truly adjustable, with one reviewer saying, “My husband is a size 12 and I’m a size 5 in women’s and the shoe inserts fit perfectly for both of us.”
Great for muddy cleats, work shoes or anyone who loves a crisp white sneaker, they can go right from the washer to the dryer, quietly.
“I absolutely love [that] I don’t have to scrub my shoes any longer,” another reviewer writes. “I don’t have to put much effort into cleaning shoes anymore. I can toss these in a bag and not have to hear the clunking around in the dryer.”
Use them on running sneakers and gym shoes sure, but also Hey Dudes, Keens, patent leather Jordans, white leather Vans and canvas slip-ons.
You’ll likely be pleasantly surprised by the restoration — especially on shoes you were thinking about tossing. (Note: if you’re eyeing the yellow bags, reviewers suggest running then empty in the wash before using them on your shoes to get rid of lint or color runoff.)
If you’re looking for an easy way to make a long, laborious task faster and easier, grab a set of these shoe bags and let the washing machine do the heavy lifting.

“Best purchase! Life is easier now Honestly blown away by how well these cleaned my husbands dirtyyyyy shoes! I have a top loader and lay the shoes on their side in the machine and they came out SPOTLESS! I will have to try on older, dirtier shoes, but so far this has been a great” — Jarvis

“I have never been great at washing my shoes. I usually spot clean, and when that’s not cutting it anymore… the shoes end up getting downgraded to “dirty shoes” (ie yard shoes, festivals etc). I had a pair of non-canvas converse (it seems like a microfiber of some sort?) that I have been dreading downgrading, and I figured I’d give this a try. WOW. I had a low bar to begin with, but I was blown away- they looked brand new. I should note that I cleaned the soles of the shoes using the Pink Miracle Shoe Cleaning solution and brush and pretreated any tough spots with either Oxi Clean Max Force Spray or Puracy Spot Treatment before putting any shoes in the bags to be washed. I have since washed every pair of shoes I can and am always so excited for the moment I unzip the bag. I am a bit of a laundry snob, and have also always been stressed about sneakers clunking around my washer. With these bags, plus the towels in the load, I feel that the repeated blows are cushioned well enough and haven’t caused any damage to the drum or thrown off the balance. Additionally, the inserts have been amazing at retaining the shape of the shoe. I leave them in the shoes while I let them sit out to air dry. I love that a child’s pair of inserts is included also. My only thought now is of all of the shoes I downgraded before their time! RIP young shoes.” — Ashley H
“Before I found this, I didn’t know what to do with my kids shoes. I soaked them in the sink and washed with my hands. It was a long process. Now I just put the shoes in the bag and toss them in the washer and dryer. It saves me a lot of time and stress. Good stuff” — Baorong Zhao
