dr. scholl's foot lotion. its made to work like deodorant. it feels really weird when you put it on, but then when it dries, it feels like a powder. and if that doesnt work, you may need to drink more water, or go see a doctor or something.

perhaps its time to buy a new pair of shoes... or perhaps its not the shoes's problem, but your feet's. I've found that light acid peeling reduces the smell by 100% of course its also eats away most of the skin to, which is whats causing the stentch... but which is worse... stinky shoes or no feet...

uhmm try washing them out first.. maybe in the washing machine?? or maybe by hand and then try some febreeze.. but it might not work if you don't wash them first

My friend had the same problem as you do right now and she just washed her shoes in the washer machine and then put some baking soda when they dried and her sheos didn't smell after that! Just bring home your gym shoes once a week and wash them and your shoes won't smell anymore! Hope I helped :)

try baking soda or baking powder when you're not wearing them. I put it under my sink in the bathroom and it totally gets rid of all the odors... i have a feeling it'll work
luck!

Still use the Odor eaters and wash your shoes once a week. It sounds crazy but it will keep them free and odor free. I had that problem. Now all my shoes are clean and they smell good. Hope this helped.

omg, i had that problem once 2! i brought them home.. nothing worked! then i asked my mom if she would wash them for me, and she did, and now they smell lovely, lol. wash them in the washing mahcine, or laundry mat (if yu dont have a washa), then put the dr sholls powder to keep them refreshed.


i hope i helped!
much luvin Loverx33

you prolly mixed too many scents. take them home and put them in the washing machine and wash them like you would with clothes and then dry them in the drier. sounds wierd i kno but my bro did it and it worked like a charm! if theres still a problem go 2 the doc and he'll give you this special stuff! x0x
