I'm pro Indesit as I always have stated, they cover full range from BOL to TOL machines like the Moon and the new prime line, so that's normal that people complain about quality, but those complains are always about BOL machines, and even with that you have to bear that with a 18% European market share of Indesit, complaints happen everyday!
Anyway, Favorit, almost all Indesit machines have a programme for shoes that works magic (and are the only ones that offer that)! I've seen it only once: the drum fills with more water than normal and the machine pulse at high speed to make the shoes stick to the sides, then it starts tubling at distribution speed so they don't move, the cleaning quality is great! And the paddles are saved.
