Forget scrubbing in the sink – this is a full-on shoe-washer and dryer

Washing shoes by hand is one of those chores that feels almost punishing: it takes time, effort, patience, and it’s not even that efficient. Tossing shoes into a regular washing machine is always a gamble. They will definitely come out clean, but there is also a good chance they will be damaged. Specialized footwear washers already exist on the market, but most of them only handle the washing part, leaving you to wait hours for your shoes to dry. Casaboom's Midishi M1 aims to solve all of these problems and is currently available on Kickstarter.
