Quick Answer

No, Pediped Sleepy Originals Sheep slippers are not machine washable. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the recommended method to preserve the soft fleece lining and durable leather.

The Sleepy Originals feature a soft fleece lining and durable leather upper. Machine washing can damage the leather, cause shrinking, or distort the shape of the slippers. The APMA approval for healthy foot development is based on the shoe maintaining its structural integrity, which washing machines can compromise.

When Spot Cleaning May Not Be Enough

For stubborn stains or odors, you can hand wash the slippers gently using cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid soaking the leather. After washing, stuff them with paper towels to retain shape and air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I machine wash Sleepy Originals Sheep slippers?

No. Machine washing is not recommended because the leather upper and fleece lining can be damaged. Always spot clean or hand wash gently.

How should I clean them?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean stains. For deeper cleaning, hand wash in cold water, avoid soaking, and air dry away from heat. Never use bleach or harsh detergents.

Will washing affect the APMA approval?

The APMA approval relates to the original design and construction. If the slippers are washed improperly and lose shape or support, the foot-health benefits may be reduced. Stick to gentle cleaning to maintain support.
