Maintaining fresh-smelling shoes begins with proper foot care and mindful routines

One of the most important steps is to make sure your feet are clean and dry before putting on your shoes

Wash your feet daily with soap and water, and new balance stone island dry them thoroughly especially between the toes where moisture tends to linger

Bacteria flourish in wet environments, making moisture the key factor behind persistent shoe smells

Change into fresh socks daily and select fabrics engineered to pull moisture away from your skin

While cotton socks are widely available, they retain sweat rather than dispersing it

Choose performance fabrics like merino wool, bamboo fiber, or moisture-wicking synthetics

Swap out your socks midday when you’re working out, hiking, or enduring high temperatures

Never wear the same pair of shoes on consecutive days—give them a full 24 to 48 hours to dry

This gives each pair time to air out and dry completely

Store your shoes in a breezy spot where air can circulate freely around them

Tuck natural odor absorbers like cedar blocks or activated charcoal sachets into your shoes while they rest

Never go barefoot in closed footwear, even if they appear breathable

Your feet produce sweat regardless of shoe material, and without socks, that sweat and bacteria cling to the lining

If you must go sockless, use foot powder or antiperspirant spray designed for feet to reduce moisture

Maintain your footwear with routine cleaning to prevent odor buildup

Clean textile uppers using a soft cloth lightly dampened with lukewarm water and gentle detergent

Wipe down leather footwear using a microfiber cloth and a pH-balanced leather cleaner

Always allow shoes to dry at room temperature to prevent cracking or warping

A simple, natural solution is to use baking soda as an odor eliminator

Before bed, add a teaspoon of baking soda to each shoe, leave it overnight, and dump it out before wearing

Baking soda neutralizes smells without harming fabrics, leather, or synthetic linings

For stubborn odors, wipe insoles with a diluted vinegar solution to kill bacteria

Never wear shoes immediately after applying vinegar—they must be fully dry to avoid skin irritation and lingering smells

Regular hygiene, smart choices, and proper drying ensure your shoes never carry an unpleasant odor again
