Laces and insoles out, shoes into a pillowcase or mesh bag, and a couple of old towels in with them so the drum isn't banging. Cold, gentle cycle, liquid detergent. Then air dry stuffed with paper. Not the dryer, the heat softens the glue and the soles start coming away. And don't machine wash leather ones.
