I air dry them in the sun. The only negative effect was that the liners peeled from the foot beds of one pair. I glued them back in the first time and threw them away the second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stride-rite-water-shoes-stinky#post-2770492 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 14:11:15 +0000 meadow 2770492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone ever thrown the in the washing machine?
