Gymnast Daughter with Sever's loves these - she is 10yo and wears a small. The only con is the smell. Any recommendations on how to wash?

I wash my daughters' heel cups with hand soap and luke warm water. I turn them inside out as well to ensure I get all the soap out.

Yes, wash them with like fabrics such as workout clothes, nothing with cotton in it and then hang dry. They can be used a very long time until they need to be washed.

Yeah I wear a sport bra and a thin tank top...they'll be soaked after your workout so your going to want to wash right after to keep them from smelling funky. Hope this helps. :)

Hi! I wash these at least twice in a row on heavy duty. The first time through I wash them with laundry detergent and some bleach. The second time through I wash them with just detergent. Sometimes I even wash them a third time with just detergent. I don't think my washer smells from it. The only thing I've experienced is that the pads smell if I only wash them once.

I always wash mine in my club's shower and spin dry with my shorts and tee. My original pair is 3+ years old and still look great.

I wash them on regular and throw in the dryer. I've been using them for two years and they're still going strong. I'm actually about to buy more for the next kid as the other brand i bought fell apart ages ago.

I wash ours with Woolite on the gentle cycle and tumble dry on low. I have not had any problems with ours and they have stayed really soft. They are really high quality!

I haven't noticed any smell. I wear them in the water so much it seems unlikely an odor would persist.

I have the 80 pound version. They did not smell when we got them. The quality is very high and we're very happy with them. I would wash them with baking soda and water and let them sit for a day or so.

I have just washed and dried them with my cloth diapers: cold water soak, then wash in hot water on regular cycle with cloth diaper detergent, dry on high. I've had mine for probably 6 months, washing & drying them every other day, and aside from some pilling & minor stains they are like the day I bought them. They are paper thin (no bulk) and really keep a little bottom dry.

yes you can wash then. I bought these for my Granddaughters and my daughter said she has washed them and no problem.

I recommend hand wash and air dry just so that I can keep the wear and tear to a minimum. They fit fine inside my Everlast 14 oz gloves, and a little baby powder or talc helps the fit and the smell. James

I think they would make cute toppers! They are rubber, so they have a rubber smell. Maybe just wash them well first!

I wash mine in washer along with other gym clothes and dry with them as well. They've lasted me over two years. I've just bought another pair but still using the old ones. The instructions are three drawings that seem to indicate, hand wash and dry in dryer.

No odor whatsoever & I have an acute sense of smell. However, we have had these for a while so I don't remember if there was an odor at first. My daughter is a gymnast & uses these frequently. They are good quality & well worth it!

I wouldn't recommend it. They aren't durable enough nor snug enough to make me feel that they were protecting my feet from gym grime. I use cheap flip flops from Old Navy and then rinse them each time. For me, the key is to let them air dry in my car afterward. I never put them in a bag. That's what causes the moldy stink. Good luck.
