Questions before you buy
The things runners actually ask us
Everything below is about this wash bag specifically — how to use it, what it protects, and what to do if it isn't right for you.
Inside the bag, yes. What damages shoes in a machine is the bare shoe hitting the steel drum over and over. The padded walls sit between the two, so the tumbling lands on the bag. Use a gentle cycle at 30°C and let them air dry afterwards — never the tumble dryer, and never on a radiator.
That's the part hand-washing struggles with. Soft microfibres inside the bag work into the mesh, the tread and the laces while the cycle runs, so you're not standing at the sink with a toothbrush the night before a long run.
One pair goes in at a time — road shoes, trail shoes, racing flats or daily trainers. Zip it shut and that's it.
The opposite. Loose shoes hammer against the glass and leave grit in the drum seal. The bag keeps both the shoe and the machine out of each other's way, and it's quiet enough to run in the evening.
It's built to be reused, not thrown away after a spring clean. Use it after every muddy long run through the winter and it comes out ready for the next one.
Send it back within 30 days and we cover the return shipping. Run it through a couple of proper washes first — a bag tells you nothing sitting in a cupboard.
