I am now on my 6th pair of these shoes and for the very first time, they actually made it into the washing machine, instead of tennis balls with a down jacket.  Both shoes and jacket came out splendidly!!
I travel a lot and so was looking for a comfortable shoe with a broad foot pad, to help me keep my balance on uneven streets and paths.  I don't care for lace-up shoes.  These are just great for cushioned walking, a good shoebox for your toes and now I know they can be washed!  I did take out the inserts before washing.

I cannot recommend them more highly!
