How To Deodorize Shoes - Solutions for Smelly Footwear

Shoe trees are the best investment one can buy for shoes. It makes a night and day difference since i started using them for my leather shoes.

Cedar shoe trees don't work for me. Neither do odor eater inserts. So far I've found nothing that works.

Baking soda is terrible for leather shoes.

Any trace that's in it will permeate the leather eventually and come through to the outside in the form of a weird white stain.

I still haven't figured out how to get it our because it just keeps returning each time I shine them.

Something important to note is 99.9% of all socks are synthetic or have a mix of synthetic fiber. I am on a mission to find budget wool boot socks. Which this doesnt seem to exist any more... Theres a huge opportunity for someone to start a Cost Plus Wool socks company....

SSD: solid state deodorizer

There are shoe driers and also UVc lamps that could help too

I love your oxblood penny loafers. 😍

So long winded on “our previous videos ,” I never made it to shoes😡

I have excessive hyperhidrosis. My shoes are saturated at the end of each day. I resort to wearing croc and washing them each night. Lol

This guy is straight out of fallout.

PodoPhylus antimicrobial insole is another solution….

Wash your feet, wear cotton socks.

I think I probably have a rare disease, everytime I wear shoes there’s a bad smell coming from my shoes as I wearing them ( not when I take them off) when I’m walking around I notice a weird smell coming from my shoes sometimes it’s smells like wet dog smell and sometimes it smells like 💩 and I don’t know why 🤕 it’s normal for ppl to have dampened socks when they are wearing shoes but why my shoes smell and not everyone else’s plss help 😩😩😩

Wait, I can't tell if this is really subtle meme mockery of the stuffy sophisticated upper class or if this channel is really... well... this... ehm.... pompously effeminate. If this video IS in fact, clever, self aware comedy it is a 10/10. Great info as a side. Thanks!

what about ozone gas for bacteria

A SPRAY BOTTLE OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IS ALSO EXCELLENT, INEXPENSIVE AND EFFECTIVE!

What about sneakers (not leather)?

Love that outfit ♥️

These are gems

I am confused by this "gentleman culture" to be quite honest. It seems to cling to some very antiquated and outdated ideas of social human interaction. I mean, do you. But its odd to me. I appreciate the presentation, and the very professional production/information sharing! Just some honest feedback and opinion sharing here. Cheers.

Love, love, love you

My feet sweat a lot too, so I use a few methods. One, I never wear the same pair of shoes more than one day in a row, give the shoes a chance to dry out. Two, I wear dress socks with less nylon since that material causes feet to sweat more and smell more. If needed I use foot powder spray in the shoes to keep them fresh. Of course washing your feet thoroughly each day and keeping your foot skin and toenails managed helps to prevent odor.

I use full bottle of peroxide inside my running shoes, put into a plastic bag for about half an hour after the bubbling has subsided. Then throw them into my washer on warm wash with some laundry soap. (White tennis shoes get some bleach), then onto my Peet shoe dryer to get them dry in about an hour or so. Whalla! Fresh as the day I bought them. My husband swears by my process, and his workout shoes are THE worst!! I wish I knew of a way to get the smell to not occur in the first place from the body...👍🥴😃 Have a great day everyone!

I did it myself thanks to Stodoys.

Don't wear synthetic socks, they really make your feet stink.

Near the end of the video, you said you shouldn't wear shoes for multiple days in a row, does that comment still stand even if you insert shoe trees after wearing them and continue to leave them in overnight, I ask this question as I only own one pair of quality dress shoes and I need to wear them for five days a week from 9-5
Hoping you and the GG team are well and are staying safe in these uncertain times

I think you are handicape

Baking soda should be equally applied on all surface inside so that it soaks up all odor causing bacteria. The problem is baking soda will only settle at the bottom.

Looks like he has a swear jar and sleeps with the light on

I swap pairs of boots that I use for work, every other day. I remove my insoles and leave them out to dry and put my boots in front of one of the fans that we have.

He looks like a handsome alien lol

I have a pair off goretex lined boots that smell horribly. I've tried the insides in alcohol, activated charcoal, silica gel packets.... to no avail. Is anyone aware off a more aggressive treatment?

I’ve been using cedar shoe trees on my dress shoes for years. Does anyone use shoe trees on their sneakers or casual shoes?

I’m trying to decide if it’s worth getting a few extra pairs of shoe trees for the sneaker/casual shoes I wear most.

Great video. I wonder what you can do to disinfect a pair of shoes.

guy looks like a james bond villian.

odor neutralizing kitty litter works better then baking soda

Thanks guys..

Would shoe trees help disinfect used shoes that might’ve been worn by someone who had athletes foot? I just bought a used pair of leather skates and a used pair of suede skates and am hesitant to put my foot into someone else’s toe jam without first trying to disinfect any ick that might be lurking inside.

Thats what is called class

How about thoroughly washing one's feet daily in the bath or shower. It sure works well for me.

This guy is like from the 1940s

In Colombia we use foot powder every day. It's talcum and baking soda we apply before wearing socks.

I'm a woman and I love this channel. So many channels for women but not as specific, classy and informative like this one.

Just saying this guy definitely knows where some bodies are buried

A pinch of fresh tarragon in each shoe works great.
