Can you wash your shoes in the washing machine? With Rothy’s, the answer is always yes. From our sneakers to our flats, you can clean your shoes up after every adventure—so they stay looking as good as new. Here’s how to wash each of our styles.  

Women’s Flats

(The Flat, The Point, The Square and The Mary Jane) 

1. Slip out your insoles.
2. Toss your insoles and shoes into the washing machine. 
3. Use cold water, mild detergent and the delicate cycle.
4. No heat, please—always let your shoes and insoles air dry. 

Women’s & Men’s Boots

(The Utility Boot, The Ankle Boot and The Chelsea Boot)

1. Slip out insoles. Toss boots and insoles into the washing machine.
2. Use cold water, mild detergent and the delicate cycle.
3. As wool is a delicate natural fiber, we suggest using a shoe tree when drying.
4. No heat, please—always let your shoes air dry.

Women’s & Men’s Loafers

(The Loafer, The Almond Loafer, The Driver and The Driving Loafer)

Women’s & Men’s Sneakers

5. No heat, please—always let your shoes air dry. If you have The Monty or The RS01 Sneaker in merino wool, we suggest using a shoe tree when drying.

If your shoes have a blue midsole, we recommend hand washing them. Fill a sink or a tub with cold water, and use your hands to gently rub them with a mild detergent. Make sure to completely submerge and rinse them off. Lastly, don’t forget to fully air dry your midsoles before you slip them back in your shoes.
