    Shoe Odor

    OK Geeks..

    Serious question for you all:

    What have you found to combat shoe odor?

    I'm open to any and all suggestions, even using Stripper Scent as needed.

    Are you talking about your personal shoes smelling or a car smelling like shoes? You could use stripper scent but the odor will come back in a matter of min. Possibly leaving you with the present odor of vanilla flavored trench foot lol

    Re: Shoe Odor

    What type of shoes? If it's your "work" shoes like tennis shoes or canvas sneakers, baking soda always helped with some of the smell for me. I also have hand washed my shoes to success. You might see if the soles are replaceable too, since that's usually where a majority of the smell is coming from.

    Dress shoes? Get cedar shoe trees. I've had a pair I've been wearing for 6 months now every day and they still smell and look new.

    Don't tell my co-workers... but I take off my shoes when I am sitting at my desk at work.

    Re: Shoe Odor

    Here is what i do. Walmart has a pair of cheap tennis shoes for like $10. I buy a pair of them and when they start to either get torn up or smell i buy a new pair. Surprisingly they are actually comfortable.

    nice. Ill look into the cedar option for my dress shoes.

    My sneakers were the culprit today (white adidas Beckhams) that I wear to work on occasion.

    I do take them off at my desk (shh), but when I get home its rough...
