I guess my question is what are they doing in the wash to begin with. I don't think I've ever seen that before

    Huh. We wash tennis shoes all the time, particularly stuff we found for resale. Not like my wife is throwing her heels in there! Or I might stop through a swamp in my combat boots, that's usually good for a wash.

    I saw quite a few posts about it on hiking/sports subreddits in the olden days, it's used for removing odour from sports shoes. I even tried it myself - depends on the shoe ofc, but like 30°C and lowest/no spin was completely fine. Pre-wipe the mud off, and add some worn old towels for padding, so it's not just two shoes clanging around in the empty machine.
