My white Sidi's aren't looking as fast as they were...

Anyone just bung their cycling shoes in the washing machine?
How many times can you get away with it before they fall apart?

Dang no! You is a a mentalist*

Do what I does like. Get a little soap powder on a soft cloth (fairy non bio like) stand in the shower and dampen the cloth and the shoe,then rub gently on the left shoe in anti circle motions dabbing the cloth occasionally in the powder, then more rubbing, then change to a clockwise direction on the right shoe, more rubbing ensues, then dampen the soap off under the shower.
Then rinse your hair and shampoo, then condition to suit.

Don't forget to do behind your ears.

Then get an old towel and rub the excess off and leave to dry in a warmish place, do the same to your shoes.

Don't fercrickyssake stick them on a radiator to dry them out.

*Apologises to all mentalists.

Put in sink with some washing liquid.
Wash.
Rinse.
Soak for 10 minutes with a sterilising tablet.
Rinse.

This all seems rather complicated.
Maybe i should just accept the fact my shoes aren't as fast as they used to be. ๐Ÿ˜

i cannot kill my sidi dominators after eight or more years; currently held together by two bulldog clips on the left foot after the velco fix has failed, one stud left and the soles worn down and as comfortable as comfy can be.
