We wash all of our sneakers (nylon and leather ones) without issue. I don't bother using the gentle cycle, but we have a front load washer so it may not be as hard on them as a top loader. Before our dryer rack broke, I would put the rack in the dryer and run it on low to help dry them out. Without it, it takes a day or so.
