Tip: Sweaty Feet and Stinky Shoes

If you have a problem with sweaty feet and have ruined more than one pair of shoes with the smell, you can try this tip:

• Clean inside the shoes as best you can with soap and water (if they’re machine washable–throw them in there).
• Once thoroughly dry, double bag the shoes and stick in freezer overnight. This will help kill the bacteria and fungi.
• Once thawed and back to room temperature, spray with your choice of vinegar, cider vinegar, rubbing alcohol, vodka, or Pine-Sol. Try covering the entire inside of the shoe.
• Once dry, dust with your favorite foot powder.

To avoid problems in the future, try inserting disposable insoles and dusting your feet and shoes regularly with foot powder. You can find a few homemade foot powder recipes here.
