Stinky Shoes

[Richie]

These shoes are like a week old, and yet they wreak. I know the weather has got warmer, but still, what gives? And how can I make them smell better-they are having to live in the enclosed porch as I can't stand them being in my house.

Throw them in the wash is the only thing I can think of. I normally wash my feet with an antibacterial soap before running if I've been having issues with stinkyness which may or not help. They sell shoe deodorizers but I've never found them to be too helpful.

I normally wash mine in the washer as well as they get stinky and old. Do your feet sweat overly? I've heard of deodorizing soaps and such to help with that, as well as the sprays and other stuff to make the shoes smell better, but I'm not sure how well they work.

No, I have never had a problem with stinky feet or stinky shoes in the past. I don't know why this is happening right now-especially since my other shoes are ok.

I am seriously suspecting something is just up with the shoes and debating throwing them out.
