Never ever. Not my boots, backpack, trekking poles, gaiters, crampons, snowshoes etc. Maybe once or twice I hosed them down.
They just stay dirty in the garage. To be honest I never thought to. I'm sure it's a good idea but my stuff lasts a very long time without doing this. I don't think washing my footwear would make it last longer as it's large tears or the sole wearing out that has made me get new ones in the past.
