How do you stop shoes from stinking? Besides those freshener things....

You need put some bleach in with the laundry detergent you are using. If the shoes are colored then make sure you use Clorox Color alternative bleach. I can assure you it will get rid of any smells. I bleach my shoes every few weeks. Other powders and shoes freshners just try and cover the odors rather then eliminating them.

I found a great little product that I use in my sneakers and shoes at night. I have the perfect solution that i use myself for the same problem. It is a product called FRIDGE IT odor absorbers. It is a littler purple cube with an activated carbon filter inside that is really great. It works so much better than baking soda and all those sprays and powders. The carbon literally eliminates the odors and works for a long time. I use this product everywhere including my closet, shoes, fridge and also under sinks, near trash and have friends that use it on cat litter box and also diaper pails - it's that good. I really recommend it. You can buy it in kitchen gadget sections in stores like walmart and linens and things. I also think camping world sells it. Definitely worth trying.

Swear these work -
Put the shoes in a box with charcol brickettes - the brickettes absorb the stink.
Put the shoes in a brown paper bag (don't know why, but it does the trick) and put the bag in the freezer overnight. Again - stinkiness gone.
Lastly - do both, the brickettes and the freezer thing for a couple of days.
I have zero clue why these work, but been doing it for years.

Jennifer is right. Wear socks. Sweaty bare feet make stinky shoes. Wash your feet once in a while! Change your socks twice a day if you need to. Try a little Ammens Powder on your feet.

Your shoes have bacteria in them. There is nothing you can do for the smell! To prevent the smell from getting in your new shoes wash your feet every day and wear socks! Good Luck! :)

air your shoes out well and put an aromatic dryer sheet in each shoe at night.
