Smelly shoes
9 Answers
Does anyone know the best thing to treat smelly shoes? I have not had my trainers long but already they are beginning to smell despite spraying them regularly. Is talcum powder a good option?

The best and cheapest thing to use is bicarbonate of soda - Put a good amount into each trainer and shake to make sure it has covered the entire insole. Leave at least overnight and then tip the residue out. Your trainers will be left feeling much fresher, just repeat as necessary.
I suffered from this with my trainers for ages. After seeing a TV documentary, I realised I had a fungal infection on my feet, although there weren't really any visible signs.
The solution was to rub Canestan cream onto my feet after showering in the morning. Within a couple of weeks, no smelly shoes at all. Gone.
I think they now do a specific foot cream, but the anti-thrush one works exactly the same.
Good luck.
