How to Get Rid of Shoe Odor
January 31st, 2007 by admin
What Causes This Horrible Shoe Smell?
Smelly shoes are usually caused by smelly feet and smelly feet are usually the result of bacterial growth. Bacteria like warm, dark, moist places, and since our feet are covered in sweat glands the shoes and socks of a person with sweaty or moist feet are a perfect environment for odor-causing bacteria to thrive. Understanding this simple ‘why’ makes the 'how’ become much easier. (Tips on how to get rid of foot odor)Taking the ‘Eeeww’ out of ‘Shoe’
This section is broken into two parts, shoe odor prevention and shoe odor removal.Shoe Odor Prevention
Since we now know that shoe odor is caused by bacteria requiring warm and moist environments, we should make our footwear inhospitable to them. The best (and easiest) method of keeping foot and shoe odor at bay is to keep your feet and shoes dry! Here’s some tips:- After your showers take care to dry your feet well, especially the spaces between your toes. If your feet are moist when you put on your shoes then your shoes are going to be moist, and you’ll have just created a nice, warm stink incubator.
- If you suffer from excessively sweaty feet, apply an anti-perspirant to your feet to help keep them dry and coat the inside of your shoes with talcum powder to absorb any excess moisture.
- Wear thick, cotton socks and change them as often as is needed to keep your feet dry. Stay away from synthetic materials because they don’t absorb moisture or breathe as well as cotton.
- If your shoes ever get moist or wet, let them dry completely before wearing them again. You can stuff them with newspaper, coat them with talcum powder, or even throw them into the dryer (shoe-care-instructions permitting) – but don’t put them back onto your feet!

I live in nz and don’t know if you guys have this product in your country but its called granmas remedy and it works really well. it costs about 20 bucks and lasts for months. daily use or every couple of days. its a white powder and you sprinkle half a teaspoon if that. try it.
Non-scented Fabreeze works well.
Dry feet=none smelly feet
If u put them in the freezer the smell leave but eventualy comes back. so just everynight put them in a bag then in the freezer and it works!!!!!
As well as washing feet and daily clean socks (washed on 60+ degree wash from time to time) one approach that took the pong out of a pair of ‘infected’ trainers was to heat the oven to 100C, turn it off, then place the trainers inside resting on some baking paper, allow to cool over a couple of hours..

Tack a shower and wash your feet every day and u wont have that problem!!!!
Use an anti-fungal. You can get it at any drug store. After a few days all gone. Inexpensive too.
Yea sweaty feet can definitely contribute to bad foot odor in a really bad way. In order to minimize odor its best to wear shoes that have good ventilation and dont tie your shoes too tight. The ventilation helps to minimize sweating. I found an article with some other really helpful tips that naturally fight foot odor.
Another thing I’ve found that works is filling the shoes with dryer sheets. The sheets absorb the moisture and odor, and leave your shoes smelling like bounce.
