There's so many better ways to clean a shoe than putting it in the washer

Many good tips here, I always stuffed the toebox with plastic bags like the ones from Walmart.
Keeps the shape of that area solid.

I've been using the plastic covering they give you when you get your clothes from the dry cleaners. I found that works better than grocery bags and and often better than the OG paper stuffing

Putting sneakers in the washer. Id rather do it by hand and air dry.

100% brush and a clean rag is first choice but if the shoe is COOKED and it’s been fully soaked like getting caught in the rain/mud or spilling a colored liquid on an mesh upper, or stitching. The washer is the only way sometimes. I learned that with some concords I got mud splatter on and when I threw up on my Columbia 4’s. 
Last resort though.

I love how this edition turned out looks wise but the shoe fits awful
I ended up selling em twice
sold my true size and the half down
too loose and too tight pause

I went tts because that's I did with the reimagined BC4s, and those fit me well.
But these MB4s were killing my pinky. Same thing with the white thunders...
The fix? Shoe stretcher with the little add-on nubs and a harbor freight heat gun. Custom fitted and ready to rock in 1hr or less

I was with you until the heat-gun
. Is it just needed to speed up the stretch?

I just went my usual half size up and threw in a nice insole and that made them fit almost as nice as the Reimagined 4s. Definitely more comfortable underfoot.
Yes. It definitely speeds up the process and makes the material in the target areas significantly easier to stretch.I was with you until the heat-gun
I tried leaving the stretcher in overnight (without using a heat gun) but that didn't give me the results I was after.

Mil' Blue is my least favourite of the OG CWs.
But these are now my favourite 4s that I own. The cut/shape is everything on these and I don't even have one of the good factories.

These have a strange fit for me. Width wise my size 13 was good but to much room length wise. Will try a 12.5 but I have a feeling they will be to tight in the toe area smh. Had the same problem with the white cement 3's
All the 4s released this year will smash your pinky unless you go up a half size(or you have a super narrow foot).
The Reimagined BC4 will not smash your pinky if you go TTS. Why? Yes, the leather is very soft, but something I never see mentioned is that they have a huge bump right where your pinky rests. The extra volume is a welcomed addition and makes a world of difference when it comes to comfort.
Here's another view showing the hump. You can see how the black triangle on the midsole flares outward as well.
Unfortunately the MB4s do not have this.
I had to get creative with a shoe stretcher and heat gun to form the much needed bump.
The Fear 4s suffer from the lack of hump like the MB 4s out of the box.
You can try to tough it out and hopefully they "break in" and the pain goes away...My pinky toes couldn't take it lmao
Idk why Nike/JB doesn't form all 4s the same as the BC4 Reimagined. Cost cutting is my guess.
