Can I wash leather hiking boots in a front loading washer machine?

[QUOTE="WasatchLake, post: 2727421, member: 481947"] Okay, I was out earlier, and stepped on a decaying animal. My boot went through its stomach and inside. I thought it was kind of nasty. Would just rinsing and scrubbing the boot in the sink really get the yuck off thoroughly? I was thinking a conventional top loading washer machine may cause issues for leather hiking boots, since it has an agitator that rotates inside. However, on the other hand a front loading washer tumbles it like a clothes drier, so I was thinking it could make it cleaner, and be better on the leather. Afterwards, I could rub some leather conditioner on the leather parts, to restore that area so that it doesn't crack, or whatever happens when leather looses some of its oils. Any suggestions?
