Well, that isn't quite as bad as something I did once....(and the only reason I am telling this is because I think everyone needs a good laugh)....
Back in the 80's when desert boots were in, I had a pair and they got soaked once during a thunderstorm.
So being at the office and no change of shoes around, and I couldn't be walking around squishing I had the bright idea of putting them in the microwave to dry...
Well, they dried in no time flat but the leather hardened and shrunk to about 1/3 the size and they were useless afterwards LOL. In fact, they were so distorted that they looked like something designed by HR Giger DOH
