We paid over $130 for a duet of basketball shoes for our son and now that bball season is over he wishes to wear them for everyday use which would be fine except he never aired them out during bball season. He left them zip up in his sports shoulder bag and now his tennis shoes hold a horrible odor. We have tried odor eater spray, baking soda, odor eater insoles and bounce dryer sheets. The dryer sheets did seem to be to work the best but by the end of the time the smell was coming vertebrae. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated…..please no suggestions to throw them out, they are expensive shoes and different, have never be worn outside. Thanks!
Answers: Wash them in the wash machine. I used to do this near all of our tennis shoes. Don’t dry them though as they tend to bring back the leather too dried out.
Air them outside for a week. Then spray an entire can of axe into the shoes. It will smell of axe for QUITE some time which may or may not be a good piece…. but at least it’s better than foot odour right?
