Answer 2

You do have a problem don't you and wet cats really do smell. Go to the store and by some charcoal inserts to put in them I believe that Dr. Schoals makes them. If that doesn't work get some Gold Bond Powder and put it in them. Hey soccer shoes are to you what bowling shoes are to me you have to keep them up. Try that.

The Bottom Line Make sure you care for these shoes.

There are many different types of soccer shoes (football boots). There are ones with molded studs, ones with screw-ins, ones call "astros", which are used for astro turf, plus there are the new shoes from Adidas which have the Traxion design. For those of you who do not know what these are, these are basically the newest soccer boots from Adidas, and instead of using the studs you see on most soccer boots, they have these unusual cleats underneath them. These allow the players' feet to feel more comfortable and provides the player with better grip on the ground. There are even newer versions of these Traxion boots which have screw-in ones.

Since there are such a wide range of soccer boots, there are different ways to care for these.

"Astros" are probably the easiest to take care of. If you only use this on the astro turf or on hard ground, you only need to clean the shoes once in a while. If you use it on grass, make sure you wipe the shoes with a towel to prevent the shoes from becoming dusty. Mud will stick to the shoes, and the best way to get rid of the mud is by hitting the shoes against each other or by hitting them against a wall (make sure you hit the sole sides against each other, or against the wall). If it dries up, it might be harder to get rid of the mud, so if the hitting procedure does not work, the only other way to get rid of the mud is by using an object with a sharp point (e.g. toothpick, scissors) and scrape the mud out.

With the exception of "astros", other soccer shoes should only be used on grass. If you use these on hard ground, the cleats/studs will either break off or they will wear off faster than usual. In other words, do not use these shoes on hard ground or on astro turf.

Despite that, soccer shoes with molded studs are also easy to take care of. Like the "astros", you only need to wipe them with a wet towel, and if muddy hit them against a wall or against each other. Just make sure that you do not walk with these on hard ground. The Traxion boots (without the screw-in cleats) also follows the same procedure as the shoes with molded studs.

Now onto the tricky screw-ins. These can be an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE if you are not careful with these. Like the other shoes they can also follow the same "hitting" procedure I mentioned above. They can also be cleaned by a wet towel. However, the screw-in studs/cleats (which come in metal or plastic form) is where you really have to take care of these shoes. My advice to those with these is to make sure you screw these in tightly so they do not fall off. Also, make sure you have extra screw-in studs/cleats, so that you can replace worn out studs/cleats or replace lost studs/cleats. If you do neither of these, things go bad. Let me tell you a little story. My brother had a pair of soccer boots with screw-in studs, and when he lost one, he didn't bother replacing it. As a result, mud started coming into the hole inside the boot and as a result, he could not put a stud back in, since the hardened mud had misshaped the hole. Therefore, always have a stud/cleat handy.

If the soccer shoes are extremely muddy, and you have forgotten to clean the shoes, then the best way to clean them is by putting them in a basin(bucket) of hot water. Once this is done you can start scrubbing the mud off. Once that is done, leave them out to dry. You can also run the shoes under some water and scrub them while the water runs. Then, just leave them out to dry.

If you want a pair of durable soccer shoes, I'd recommend the "astros". These can be used on any surface, and there are no studs to worry about. But if you are looking for a pair to solely use on grass, then I would use the screw-ins since the studs can be replaced on a frequent basis, therefore lasting longer and these also give you good grip on the muddy ground in a grass field.

In my opinion, cleaning the shoes is already taking care of the shoes, since that is practically the only thing you can do to these shoes, unless they're screw-in studs/cleats.

Well, that's all I know about caring for soccer boots. I hope this was helpful, since it is hard to write about caring for soccer boots.
