My bf wears steel toed work boots 10 hours a day 6 days a week, year round! He's tried Odor Eaters, the powders, the creams, the antibacterial socks and shoe liners and nothing worked as well as this!!!!
""If you are an athlete or have particularly sweaty feet, you know what I'm talking about. You wear two pairs of socks and your feet still sweat through to your shoes, causing major shoe odor. If you wear work boots in the warm weather, you might even need to pass out protective face masks to your family when you take them off at night. There are shoe inserts on the market as well as powders, sprays and creams, but they are quite expensive and not practical for use on children. There is an easy and inexpensive way to deoderize your shoes using something you can find in your local grocery store and it only costs pennies per use. Cat litter. If you have a cat, great! You already have the ingredients. If not, a ten pound bag of cat litter only costs a couple of dollars and you can deoderize your shoes for a year with one bag! Follow these easy steps to stench-free shoes and sneakers!
1.Take two old knee-hi stockings, or cut off the lower portion of a pair of panty hose to get two tubes.
2. Fill the stockings with kitty litter, the chunkier kind works best, sand litters may leak through the stockings and into your shoes. Look for a good 'odor absorbing' brand. If you don't have a cat, the ten pound bag will last you a long time. Tie a knot in the tops of the stockings.
3. Stuff the litter-filled stockings, one into each shoe and let them sit overnight, or for a few days if they are really ripe.
This will work on any kind of shoe of any size, just adjust the amount of litter you use to fit the shoe. Now you won't have to throw away smelly shoes and you can save the used cat litter to throw on the ice on your sidewalk in the winter time! One word of caution: if you have a cat, don't leave your shoes on the floor while they are being deoderized or you may get a surprise you hadn't bargained for! ""

Do this it will definitely work.
Take the laces out and open them really well. Spray heavily on the inside with white vinegar and then set in a sunny place for the day. Every night after you take them off, place a couple of charcoal briquettes into a pair of old socks and shove the sock into each shoe. The charcoal will absorb the odors and wetness. Another thing to consider is to place a few tsp of baking soda into your shoe each day before you put them on to help keep the odor to a minimum. You have to do the white vinegar and sunshine first thought to get rid of the first funk or nothing else you try is going to help. Forget about febreeze cause it will only make it funkier.

I agree, Oxyclean is great stuff. Wash you feet in it. Socks also are worn, not because everyone else does but, because they will absorb perspiration from your feet instead of your shoes. Besides, everyone who lives in town always wears socks. Try it, you'll like it..

Most sneakers can be washed in the washing maching like regular clothes.
