Ohh Luv
I don't know if I'd be willing to risk damage to my Miele's suspension or otherwise. Then there would be having to listen to all that kerthumping sounds for the duration of the cycles (an hour or more?).
If the manual doesn't give information I'd contact Miele's tech support to see what they say on the matter. | ||

My washer doesn't have a shoe cycle either. I wash mine (two pairs) on the delicates 40°C programme along a couple of cotton rugs and reduced spin. They come out spotless all the time! | ||

Special Shoes Programme
Hi cleanlaundryluv... you've got nothing to loose in getting in touch with Miele to ask these questions. Still, in the meantime you could easily try a wash cycle yourself and see the difference... my guess is that with Sensor-controlled rinsing active your washer will continually rinse until the water is completely clear indipendently from the allocated number of rinses by the programme.
As for the 'Special Shoes Programme', as far as I know, I've only seen it in action on Indesit group machines, I think Elecrolux does it too (and some other brands) but I don't know how it works there. On the Indesit, it just makes the drum rotate at a faster speed (distribution speed) so the shoes (trainers/sneakers) stay attached to the walls of the drum throughout the entire cycle. This would allow the items to avoid bumbs and bruises but I don't honestly see any real advantage. I washed my trainers on this programme and the results were by far inferior to when I washed them in my down to earth Hoover. There I just chose a short wash at 50 degrees and I made sure I included some cloths in the drum to absorb any shocks from their landing between tumbles. The results were fantastic. They were kicking the glass every now and again... but this is usually tough enough on any front loader and can cope with relatively hard items hitting against it. I included the vid below: | ||
