How To Deodorize Smelly Shoes. 1  Wash them. 2  Shoes made of fabric can be tossed in the washer with a couple of towels and run through a warm/warm cycle using your normal laundry detergent. Freeze them. 2  As crazy as it sounds, sticking your shoes in the freezer is a great way to deodorize them since the smell-causing bacteria canât survive the chill. 3  Of course, itâs best to slip your shoes into a shoe bag first so you donât get dirt all over your freezer and food. 4  Then, leave the shoes to freeze overnight.
Use water and vinegar. Spray your shoes with a combination of 50 percent water and 50 percent white distilled vinegar. Spritz the mixture into your shoe lining and sole, and let it air dry for 30 minutes. You can use a hair dryer after that if you are in a hurry to dry the shoe.. Put baking soda in the offending shoes. If the freezer trick does not work, put in a healthy dose of baking soda and let the powder absorb the odor overnight. Baking soda can be used in a wide variety of ways, including as an anti-fungal powder.
