After the Great Scottish Mud Wade,my trainers were SO filthy I took drastic action and put them in the washing machine wrapped in towels.They have come out looking like new and dont seem to have suffered as far as I can tell.Is there a reason NOT do do this in future?

Your best bet is to stuff your shoes with newspaper so when they dry they do not lose their shape. And simply wipe of any muck with a wet cloth.
I did the same. I don't mind them looking dirty - it was the blocked drain smell I objected to. I had tried my usual trick of rinsing them under the shower and washing the insoles, but they still stunk. I wouldn't have been able to wear them again if I hadn't washed them.
I did wash them at 30 degrees and on a woolen wash, and stuffed them with a pile of old facecloths, and they seem ok so far. Not to be recommended, but sometimes necessary. I'm sure some of the water wasn't just muddy dirty, if you know what I mean :-(
