Washable shoes?

Anybody else have this problem and found a good solution?

I wash my muddy running shoes in a small tub, stuff an old dish towel in the
shoes to squeeze the major water out of them, then then put them on the rack
in my dryer (which lets stuff just lie there without tumbling). Takes less
than 45 minutes on low to get dry.

I haven't noticed any wear or tear on the shoes doing this.

I need to find footware that can be washed everytime I workout and quickly

Has anyone tried "running sandals"? Someone told me about the Tevas but I
haven't tried them or talked to anyone who has.

I have this problem, too, because of hot, humid conditions where I
run. Day-to-day, I remove the sock liner and stuff the shoe loosely
with newspaper; if the shoe is really wet I may have to change the
paper a couple times. Drying time is always less than a day.

Finally, though, stink builds up. I've found that a monthly soak in a
scuba product called "sink the stink", designed for wetsuits, cleans
the shoes up beautifully with no apparent damage.
