OK Geeks.. :)

Serious question for you all:

What have you found to combat shoe odor?

I'm open to any and all suggestions, even using Stripper Scent as needed. :)
 
Are you talking about your personal shoes smelling or a car smelling like shoes? You could use stripper scent but the odor will come back in a matter of min. Possibly leaving you with the present odor of vanilla flavored trench foot lol

What type of shoes? If it's your "work" shoes like tennis shoes or canvas sneakers, baking soda always helped with some of the smell for me. I also have hand washed my shoes to success. You might see if the soles are replaceable too, since that's usually where a majority of the smell is coming from.

Dress shoes? Get cedar shoe trees. I've had a pair I've been wearing for 6 months now every day and they still smell and look new.
 
Don't tell my co-workers... but I take off my shoes when I am sitting at my desk at work.
 
Here is what i do. Walmart has a pair of cheap tennis shoes for like $10. I buy a pair of them and when they start to either get torn up or smell i buy a new pair. Surprisingly they are actually comfortable.

nice. Ill look into the cedar option for my dress shoes.

My sneakers were the culprit today (white adidas Beckhams) that I wear to work on occasion.

I do take them off at my desk (shh), but when I get home its rough...

Interesting. I've had success with the Target version displayed next to OE. Perhaps in this instance the copy is better than the original. Though I suppose it varies from foot to foot.
 
Maybe some Carpro SO2PURE

There is no shoe odor that can't be cured by dryer sheets. A new sheet may be too strong, so a sheet out of the dryer kills foot odors very effectively.

Happy Detailing, everyone!

Came in to post this

Baking soda and dryer sheets work well, though I haven't had to deal with any foot odor since about 2001.

Sounds gross but I've been using the same pair of socks to work (restaurant) for at least 3 months and they don't have any type of funny odor.
 
Is this an ongoing problem or did it start about the time you got the shoes you currently wear? I have a pair on Nike's that when they get wet.0, whether it's water, perspiration, etc. they smell horrible. I don't have any problem with any other shoes.

Oh no, nothing recent... persistent foot perspiration.

Its across all shoes..

Thanks all for the suggestions. Ill take on the dryer sheets and baking soda first, then move up to sprays if those don't help.

Heh, I can do a 50/50 with one shoe vs the other... haha

Just as armpits do...
Feet also have a plethora of sweat glands:
