I have done this before , but make sure that you put them in a pillow case and throw some towels in with them.

I have found that the best way to dry canvas shoes, especially if they are white, to let them dry in the sun.

I usually dry my canvas shoes in the sun, too, but I have done it in the dryer as well. They make some noise as they tumble in there, so it's a good idea to throw in some towels, as has already been suggested.

I have dried canvas shoes in the home dryer with no trouble, but I don't do it too often because I feel the shoes banging around in the drum could cause damage.

I always let them air dry. If you put them in the dryer be sure to put something in with it. Not sure if the pounding from the shoes hitting the dryers inside ruins it- but it's annoying.

I think that drying the shoes under the sun is much better. Using the washing machine may not only damage your shoes but also the machine itself. So better stick with the traditional mode of drying.

You can definitely dry them in the machine, but yes the noise is alot. Make sure to put other items in there as well. This will cut the noise a little bit and give the shoes something to bounce around with.

I never do with washing machine this kind of activities. It will affect the machine life and its performance will be reduced.Better to dry under sunlight. It is best way to dry canvas shoes.
