Answers:
If the shoe is sturdy, like a sneaker, toss it in the wash on the gentle cycle and let it air dry!. Do this on a regular basis so smell doesn't build up!.

If shoes are too delicate for the wash, try what works to remove odor from your refrigerator: Sprinkle the inside of shoes with baking soda and let it neutralize overnight!. Shake shoes out before wearing!. If you're having a crafty moment, make a re-useable baking soda sachet by filling a pretty hanky with some Arm & Hammer!. Secure hanky ends with a rubberband, and then cover the band with a velvet ribbon!.

Don't laugh at this one, but kitty litter is fab for eliminating more than the obvious kind of strong smell!. Find an old, clean pair of pantyhose and cut them so you can stuff the foot portion with enough cat litter to fill your shoe!. Knot ends to secure!. Presto, you have an instant shoetree that removes odor!

In the same way that Dryel or fabric softener sheets wipe out light body odor from clothing, the sheets can also freshen-up shoes if tucked inside them overnight!.

Sounds gross to wear your friends smelly sandals!. I would personally toss them out or even have yours shipped to you and it wouldn't be that expensive!. Tell him you will pay the cost for shipping, should only be a few dollars!. If you are certain to clean your friends sandals!. I recommend putting baby powder or foot odor powder in the sandal!. Pour a lot in like it is coated and then leave them with the powder overnight!. Then dump the pile of powder out in the morning and they should smell fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, first hand wash them with an antibacterial soap!. You don't want his foot fungus! Then put them in a large ziploc bag!. Pour baking soda in there!. Seal it up and put it in the freezer overnight!. It worked for me after I walked with my sandals in the ocean!. They smelled BAD! Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Rinse them with water,and let it dry then spray axe or cologne all over it!. xD
Another option is to get new one,or mail his sandal to his house and tell him to mail yours back!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
