Hell yeah Dude that machine is perfect for those sneakers!
By agitator I mean how some washers have a tall plastic mixer thing in the center that can be taken out on some machines but was built in and permanent on older machines.
Yeah that, warm to hot water, and a good powder detergent with oxy is even better and they'll come out looking great.
If you can stop the machine before it goes into a high speed final spin, even better to prevent any warping or twisting from the force then just air dry. Put on your feet wet if they need reshaping then let dry.

That's cool your goretex has held up like that man!
I actually wear out my shoes from the inside out. They can look great from the outside but I have some messed up protruding Achilles that wear out the back insole fast.
I wear out socks faster than normal too, always getting a premature hole on the back of my heel. I found Puma socks hold up for me better than most, even Nike and Puma adds comfort.
Once the fabric breaks on the inside the whole shoe is pretty much done since it will tear up the back of my heels well beyond blisters.
I've had glue fail on old pairs too. I think a lot of shoe glue has something like a seven year time limit as well. Some vintage sneakers cant be worn because of that

Freebird Bomb Pop FTW!!!!

The black ones I haven’t worn yet the white ones only when it’s not raining but I use this stuff on all my new sneakers it works awesome u can literally just hose mud off em I have my daily wearers that are stuffed to don’t worry haven’t cleaned em in over a year mow lawns and all sorts in em also the yellow exit soap cleans em up brand new to its good stuff

sweet man, thanks for the tips!! i know i have some oxy powder in our laundry room, not something i need to use often with my well water so i always have that on hand. don't have any powdered detergent though, don't think its too much of a biggie though. up until now i have been cleaning them with my car cleaners.. i have a good fabric cleaner and then use my leather clean and conditioner on the suede parts.. that leather stuff makes the white on the back of the air's pop man!!!!! i might pre wash them a little with that fabric clean and a brush and then put them in the washing machine. i'll probably wash the pegasus in there too.. i just looked it up and i bought those in april of last year so this is the second full summer and heading into the second winter. that gortex did hold up better than i ever thought it would, we had quite a few wet days here this year!! i've never used soap on them yet and have only rinsed them off a few times.. they prolly need a solo first washing before i even put them in the machine!!

thats gotta suck wearing out footwear like that, they don't ever put extra material in that section at all.. most of the time mine separate at the sole and sometimes i can glue them and sometimes it's just to far gone to repair. i have two nice pair of boots i bought right before this whole sneaker adventure so i still have them looking all shiny. i should try to wear them more this winter and save my sneakers a bit.

i think our machine has a mode to not run the spin cycle.. now how to find it will be another story!!! haha took me like twenty minutes the other week trying to figure out the steam function on the dryer!!!! hahaha

cool thanks man, i knew they had different sprays out there but i had no clue as to whats good and whats not. i had a can of stuff many years ago that worked pretty good but couldn't remember the brand or anything.

i'll get some of that and coat them down good after i wash them.. might just get an extra year of dryness from them!!!
