^^THIS!^^

Do not heat them. Any glue used in footwear is heat activated. I have Dom 5s and Dragons. Not sure if there is much glue, but why chance it? Same with hiking boots. Not even extended stays in the hot trunk of a car if you can help it.

Pull the insoles out, then dry as mentioned above with several changes of crumpled newspaper. Blowing a fan at them (room temp) is OK. NO HEAT!
