Tip 1: DRYER SHEETS!! Stick dryer sheets in your shoes over night, and they should absorb a lot of the smell. If it’s really bad, I’ll stuff a few of them in each shoe. (Side note- you can also tame frizzy hair with a dryer sheet)

Tip 2: If it’s bad enough to machine wash 1. unlace your shoe and open them as much as you can. The water can’t get inside if the shoe is closed too much. As the machine goes, make sure the water pouring into the machine is getting into the shoes. Throw in the dryer until almost dry, and then air dry the rest of the way (I always stick a few dryer sheets in each shoe to absorb any remaining smells).

Tip 3: Sprinkle baking soda inside of your shoes, let it sit overnight. Wipe clean.

Tip 4: Mix equal parts vinegar + water in a spray bottle, and spray it inside the shoes. Allow it to dry
