smelly shoes

[laura_lou7]

any cheap easy solutions?

Buy another pair : )

they were 130quid, want to keep these ones.....

Sprinkle some bicarbonate of soda into the shoes. Leave overnight and then tip the bicarb out. It aborbs the smell leaving them fresh. Works with trainers too.

I use Scholl shoe spray, you can buy it from Boots or Scholl shoe shops, I find that really good, you'll need to open all of your windows in your house though, its strong! I have heard orange peel is pretty good as well!

Putting scrunched up newspaper inside (unless they're light coloured and it could rub off) and leaving it in at least overnight can help to absorb some of the smell.

Oh and after that leave them somewhere that fresh air can get to them, outside if it's dry or by an open window to let them air.

You could also get some anti smell insoles like odour eaters to prevent further smell which you can change as often as necessary.

Wearing some kind of sock can help, you can get tights like ones as little pop socks too (also in tight material, they do some in Next).

you can usually get them from most charity shops ... what colour / odour were you after?

[laura_lou7]

I already use pop socks, but I wear the shoes all day everyday for work. I shall try the bicarb suggestion first, but thanks for them all!

i put talc in my school shoes which i also wear all day every day and it works a treat just sprinkle some in before you put them on
