But I like wearing them…
Any idea of how to get rid of the stench?
Thanks.
Put them in a zip lock bag with some Baking soda. The soda will absorb the odor after a few days. The stronger the stink, the longer it takes.
I had a pair of stank-didly-ankity sneakers that I washed in a bucket of dishsoap andleft outside in the sun. Seemed to do the trick, until I started wearing them without socks again.

I never wear any footwear that cannot be washed without socks. You have to be able to wash whatever you are wearing or it will stink. I do not think there’s any way around it. There are hygienic reasons in favor of washing as well.
I’ve heard a week in a deep freeze will kill the smell. Bag them first. Who wants the food to taste like your stinky shoes.
Phobia:
The freezer part was a joke, right?
blueslady: I will try your baking soda idea. Hope it works. I am too lazy to put on shoes every morning…

Baking soda works. If they are really gross, you might want to try a few “changes” of baking soda.
Also, there is a great natural disinfectant available to us all. It is called the sun. Leave them outside in the sun for a long time on a bright day. (Take your feet out of them before you do this.) They might fade a little, but there should be an improvement.
