Do cows shrink when it rains? I don't think so. Just take off the plates and make sure they don't tumble around. I never could perfect a way to dry shoes other then waiting for like a week. Maybe a blow dryer or something

Or just let it chill near the window or sumthing

I would never wash my Goas in a machine... never ever!

I advise you do the same.

I washed my SOAPs once (my express), didn't seem to do damage, although it woudl be smart to air dry, he's got a point with the glue part. if you can remove the plate and screws, do so. Up to you on how precious the SOAPs are to you, i'm sure hte shoe will function the same, it would be more cosmetics. Personally, although i love my boltars, a shoe is a shoe (although you could argue that these shoes are no longer in production, except express). Anyways, do what you feel is best man.

i washed and dryed my squeeky cleans when i frist got them (they were used and a bit dirty) i removed the plate and screws and just washed it like any piece of clothing it was awesome.
