Rid me of my smelly shoes...please?

Hey Matt -- Check this out... Stink Away

ran across a set, they smell pretty fresh hmmm... It's kind of like a LARGE version of a DO-NOT-EAT-moisture-wicking-packet

Yup, bathing once in awhile probably can't hurt....lol

Thanks for all of the help and great ideas, everyone!

I have galileos, and a pair of tradmasters. I regularly throw them in the washing machine (for last 2 years prolly every month or so). They are both in great shape. I hang them dry, and I've never had a problem with a resole coming loose or anything.

Fire cleanses, ya know? Start over.
Tucker's shoes don't stink.

I wear an ultrathin silver liner sock from REI. Silver is a natural odor inhibitor and is woven into the threads. This works best though if you start with a new pair of shoes and never let them get funky. I'm on my second set of soles with funk free TC Pro's.

spray apple cider mixed with vinegar and that should do the trick!

Woolite + stiff toothbrush in the shower, toss em in the yard to dry in the sun or blast em dry with a hair dryer. This has worked for 4 iterations of anasazis, evolv prime slippers, evolv evos, shamans, lace up muiras, solutions, a pair of galileos, a pair of dragons, a pair of scarpa vapors, some madrock slippers and a pair of blackwings.

if you have legendary foot funk - do they smell like a brooklyn garbage can in august? Can you smell them from 5 feet away?- many of these remedies might not work. As noted, odor comes from bacteria and their waste products. Keep your feet washed first. No matter how many days I go in the field for our beloved army, I baby wipe my feet every day. sometimes twice. Allow all of your shoes to air dry, every day, so you dont cross contaminate. use cornstarch foot powder.

last ditch effort, start ingesting a probiotic. yogurt, kombucha, kefir, whatever. No joke. probiotics are credited for all kinds of remedies. good luck. Im glad I dont climb with you;0

Defys were my first pair of shoes, and once they started stinking (a couple months) it was a downhill battle. I tried everything, but the stink always came back worse than before. My final solution was throwing them in the garbage and buying different shoes. That did the trick.

I read that this machine had amazing results to help you have dry feet:

Let me know if it works!

Pretty simple and fairly obvious.
