Prevention The first rule to get you free from smelly shoes is to keep them away from any kind of stench. Just avoid getting them into muck. Follow the best hygiene practices for your feet. Give them solid scrub to get rid of foul odor. Wear moisture-wicking socks (but best not to use with heels, it may get too slippery causing your feet to slip forward and causing pressure on your toes). Once you get back home from active outdoors or intense training, soap up your shoes and let them see some sunlight. If the shoes are not washable, set them free in the open air. This deters bacteria growth and gets them the fresh life back. So, if you do have sweaty feet, remember to alternate the wear of your leather shoes, and allow for proper ventilation by air-drying them after you’ve worn them. Prevention - Ensure Your Shoes

If not sanitized and cleaned properly and timely, the fast multiplying bacteria can get their condition worst. To blast the bacteria in your shoes, use rubbing alcohol (Isopropyl Alcohol). Ensure that you do a spot test first. These are best at killing bacteria and offing the fungi. As you do this, give them 30 minutes to air-dry to get them back to normal conditions. These hacks work well in any conditions! Scare away the bacteria - Ensure Your Shoes

Even when they are gone, the soaked secretions and wastes in the shoe pores remain there and make the shoe stink. To prevent your shoes from smelling bad you need to neutralize this. Here baking soda comes quite handy as a home remedy. It is a great de-stinking solution that works against malodorous acids quite effectively. All you need to do here is just dump them in your shoes and leave it overnight, and you’ll wake up to something fresh and beaming the next morning. However, be careful when using baking soda with leather shoes. This is because repeated applications of baking soda can dry your leather shoes out. But this works great for other non-leather shoes, especially for your sneakers or running shoes! De-stink the funk (works best for non-leather shoes) - Ensure Your Shoes

Let them chill in a dry place For your shoes to remain as fresh and odorless as you have them after applying the cleansing hacks, stock them in proper and ideal conditions.

It works great as a dehumidifier, especially for those living in humid, tropical countries. So… those are just some of the tried and tested ways to combat foul stinks and keep your shoes in the best condition.
