I have tried everything from shoe deodorisers to sunshine. The shoes do not feel sticky to wear but I suspect it’s the glue that is giving the awful smell. And no…I do not have any foot problems. It’s only with my Sketchers that I am having this problem.

    I suggest try putting some old crumpled news paper on ur shoes when ur not using it. paper will absorb the bad odor on ur shoes

    Rap a few pieces of charcoal in a old but clean sock and stick it in the shoe for a day or two.

    Maybe the real question should be how to get rid of the odor of your feet! If your feet don’t stink, neither do your shoes.

    the odor is due to constant sweat….. i suggest changing socks more frequently and not to wear the same shoes all the time. if you keep using the same ones eventually all the sweat will build up and the shoes will be smelly in no time.. also use baby powder it helps out alot. when you are going to go to bed just put some baby powder on your shoes and when you wake up just put em on and there should be no bad smell :)

    my son has the same problem. make sure your shoes are dry and put baking soda in them allot then Waite 24 hours then shake them out and then use a dry rage to wipe them out it worked for him.

    Sprinkle baby powder in them. Works good.

    Very simple, just bake the shoes in an oven at about 500 degrees for about nine hours. The remaining solids and powders will be odor free. Do not inhale the fumes, since they are likely to be quite toxic. Best to leave the house for a day or two. Make sure your automatic sprinkler system is working properly.

    Put scented cat litter (obviously not used! hehe) into an old sock and stick it in your shoes for a couple days, should do the trick

    well shoe odourz r real trublesome …well best i can say is a remedy i use 4 myself. simply sprinkle sum baking powder in ur shoes and also in a sock and tie the sock thumbinsert it in ur shoe .

    depending on the odour strength it can be relieved in netime b/w an overnight to couple of dayz.

    TRY it , it works(atleast 4 me)…

    And also maintain a hygiene level for ur feet ..while bathhing scrub ur foot or use a foot cleaner like the ORIFLAME FOOT SCRUBBER it comes around cheap and seriously helpz cleaning the foot also try a mosterizer after thatn…

    most probably ur foot wont even stink nor make ur shoes stink…

    do change ur sockz regularly too….

    HOPE this helpz ;)

    kudos to the newspaper trick. crumple some into a ball and leave them in your shoes after u worn them, it absorbs the bad smells. cheap, hassle free and works pretty good, though gotta keep doing it
