First....get a new pair cuz you're going to have a hard time getting the existing odor out.
Then, use odor eaters products. Shoe liners, foot powder, foot spray. Put the powder in the shoes before you put them on. Spray your feet before you put your socks on.(please say you wear socks....that really should be the number one solution.)
At night febreeze your shoes. EVERY NIGHT. Change the shoe insert every month.
Someone once told me that they used their deoderant on the bottoms of their feet and it helped a lot.
Also gold bond is another good line of products.
Keep trying stuff till you find what works.
Have you tried odor eaters? Dr Scholls? Or even deodorant spray for shoes?
It is the bacteria in your shoes causing the odor. Try a foot powder. Sprinkle some in your shoes. If it keeps up send them packin. Get a new pair. If you don't it could lead to athletes foot.
try placing a scented dryer sheet in them. there are now socks that help eliminate odor. hope this helps
try gold bond medicated powder and sprinkle it in your shoes, and on your feet.
Ya know, I've worn tenny shoes in the past, and they do get stinky... I tried everything you have done, but the smell always comes back, because the bacteria in the shoes have not died, or dried up... So once you think the smell is somewhat gone, you put them on again, and start the whole process all over again. What you need to do, is buy a new pair, and hang up the old one until they have completely dried out, and you have given the bacteria a chance to die..
its easy
seek medical help
Try chamomile. It's an antibacterial which is what's causing your feet to stink. Do not take if you are on anticoagulants.
Try mixing bi-carb soda with eucalyptus and lemon and leave in the sneakers all weekend. Im not real sure of the combination a lady used to sell jars of it at a market stall it was brilliant my husbands shoes where shocking and it got rid off all the smells it was amazing.
No doubt she found it in a alternative book herbal I would think
I agree with the recipe Cally l gives and would only add that it is important to let the interior of the shoes dry for a day or two between wearings (one reason women have so many shoes). So it might be good to have another pair with which to alternate.
I used to suffer from this complaint until i discovered this remedy ,Put 4 teabags in a large basin pour on boiling water , when cool soak your feet .Do this every day for one week then twice a week for maintenance .It really works , but start with clean shoes .You wont have to wear socks anymore .
i am not going to check spelling the answer is : set your shoes by a heater for a least two hours after they are fully dry. then set them in derect sunlight for two days or to three suntan sessions after always use a a freshly washed thick cotton white sock when ever you put your shoes on again
