Question Posted Saturday February 26 2011, 2:39 am
Hey Everyone:) I am an 18 year old female. So I've had this problem for a while now lol. I am very involved in cheering, but lately, I've had an issue with my cheer sneakers. They always end up smelling like vinegar after I've worn them a few times. It's SO embarrassing! I also get very dark stains on the insoles. It doesn't matter which shoes I wear, it keeps happening lol. Anyone else have this problem with cheer sneakers and have any advice on how to fix it? Thanks!!!
My feet are inclined to be sweaty and it seems to be sneakers that brings out the worst in them. And then the nature of sneakers being what it is, all of that is retained in the shoes for posterity. :-)
I've now found a procedure that is quite effective, (one which I use both for my off-hours sneakers and daily dress shoes.)
I spray my feet with unscented deodorant before putting on my socks and shoes. (There don't seem to be many unscented choices; I use Sure.) You could probably use scented ones too.
Each night, I spray the inside of the shoes with Lysol to help kill germs and bacteria, because we know what germs and bacteria do! Pew! (Grin)
On the stains, I'm not sure of that. It could just be the amount of sweat with a sneaker color or type that really shows the moisture. If you prevent or reduce the sweating, THAT should prevent or reduce the staining.
