Stinky dress shoes...?

I have a pair of Rocket Dog leather flats that I love but I don%26#039;t wear socks so they have become pretty stinky... Can I put them in the wash on gentle or will that ruin them? I need to do something with them because they smell awful. Also, how do I make my feet stop sweating in them? I am not a sock person so am at a loss at what to do here...


Thanks!! :oP

Reply:Do NOT put them in the wash. Get some foot powder, such as Gold Bond, and sprinkle the insides of the shoes liberally. Let them sit like that in a place with good air circulation for several days. That should remove the odor.





You can use the foot powder while wearing them, and then air them out at night with more of the powder.
Reply:I%26#039;ve used this before and it works great for me. At night when I take my shoes off I put a dryer sheet in the shoe. I would not wash leather if you want to clean them they make a leather cleaner and conditioner. To help if you can take the shoes off and let your feet air several times a day this will also help... sweaty feet I have no cure for as I am cursed with the same issue I have a hard time wearing sneakers and I love sneakers so I understand your problem!!!!!
Reply:if putting baby powder does not get it you need to learn how to where socks to help prevent sores and growth of bacteria that turns into athletes.
Reply:This happens to my shoes sometimes too. I usually sprinkle baby powder in them and it eliminates the odor. Good Luck!
