how to remove smell from jogging shoe?

Answer 1

Get two old socks. Fill with baking soda or DRIED tea leaves, or DRIED coffee grounds. (Wet ones will give you whole new smells!) Leave it in your jogging shoes at least overnight.

Try not to wear the same jogging shoes every day. Give them a chance to air out -- sunshine is especially good! Also, if you have problems with athelete's foot, fix that. Tea tree oil dabbed between your toes will help.

Make sure you wear fresh new socks each time you wear the jogging shoes.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I actually wash mine.

I take the insoles, add baking soda to the wash with the detergent, and send them through the cycle on warm or hot (the longest cycle). Of course, this only is appropriate for cloth shoes, but I have never had a problem with it and I even partially dry them in the dryer (until I can no longer stand the sound of them banging around in there) LOL.

It really seems to work well and it also tightens the shoes up a bit that usually stretch out after hard use for a while.

I have tried a lot of products, like Febreze and the others, but this works better and for a longer time than any of those.

1.Take two old knee-hi stockings, or cut off the lower portion of a pair of old panty hose to get two tubes.

2. Fill the stockings with kitty litter, the chunkier kind works best, sand litters may leak through the stockings and into your shoes. Look for a good 'ODOR ABSORBING BRAND'. If you don't have a cat, the ten pound bag will last you a long time. Tie a knot in the tops of the stockings.

3. Stuff the litter-filled stockings, one into each shoe and let them sit overnight, or for a few days if they are really ripe.

This will work on any kind of shoe of any size, just adjust the amount of litter you use to fit the shoe. Now you won't have to throw away smelly shoes and you can save the used cat litter to throw on the ice on your sidewalk in the winter time! One word of caution: if you have a cat, don't leave your shoes on the floor while they are being deodorized or you may get a surprise you hadn't bargained for!

Answer 4

Stuff a sheet of fabric softener into each shoe every night. This works especially well with cleats and running shoes.

You could try this too...
Place shoes in a plastic bag.
Place them in the freezer and leave overnight. The cold will kill odor-causing bacteria.

Answer 5

Put fabric softener sheet in shoes for twenty four hours or spray Lysol for 5 seconds inside shoe.
