Sour Shoes or Sour Feet?

If you read the title the title you probably don’t want either of those. Sour feet is just gross and sour shoes are arguably the same. I would think that many people out there don’t know how to control this problem but have tried many solutions. Foot odor sometimes runs in the family and could be a medical condition but, who said you can’t treat it yourself? No one!

Say you have a busy day, walking around a lot. At the end of the day you sit down, take your shoes off and an odor just smacks you across the face. You’re wondering how that happened in one day right. Now you could buy insole that’ll help the smell but who wants to spend that much money when you could do it yourself?

If there is already odor in your shoes here are a couple tips you could use:

Baking Soda – It is known that if you pour some in your shoe after wearing them and leave them in overnight then in the morning dust those off it should reduce the odor.

Freezer – Putting your shoes in a Ziploc bag and put them in the freezer overnight will kill bacteria and fungus.

Washer – This should be obvious! IF your shoes can be washed and has the right materials you should do this.

Now you say you just bought a new pair of shoes and want to keep them fresh and clean. There a couple ways of preventing smell. Of course washing your feet is a big thing to do! Don’t forget that, even though I don’t know how you could. Also, you don’t have to wear the same shoes everyday change it up sometimes. Wearing the same shoes everyday could cause them to smell horribly.
