What is the best way to get the smell out of shoes?

Question

Answer 1

try sprinking some baking soda it the shoes. Leave in overnite. It also works in refrigerators to remove odors. Simply buy the small box, open the lid, place in the fridge and leave it alone.

Answer 2

If they're tennis shoes you can wash them in the washing machine and dry them in the dryer. If they're dress shoes you clean them out with a terry cloth and a little vinegar and then dust them with baking soda and leave them overnight. If neither of these works you can go the costly route and buy an odor spray at a store.

Answer 3

In leather shoes this smell will come. It is because of the perspiration of your feet. Your socks also must be sinking hell. The smell can not be avoided fully. Wash the socks daily , I MEAN DAILY, with detergent and use fresh ones only. For your shoes wipe it with cotton socked with spirit and allow it to dry in air. if you put it in sun the shoe will become rough and can not be used for desired time. There is not other way. Please try-

Sprinkle Baking Soda inside at night before you go to bed, and empty them out the next day/ You could also take a soft cloth and dip it in vinegar, ring it out real good and then wipe the inside of your shoes,

I'd sprinkle a bit of baking soda or foot powder in the shoes. Not only will it absorb the odor as opposed to masking it, it will also absorb perspiration from sweating feet.
