These sneakers has canvas insoles, and the sneakers are still in good
shape; therefore I do not want to throw these away. THey ksut smell
bad. ANy Ideas?
I suspect you will have to put up with it or try different sneakers.
One thing I have noticed is that certain material seems to breed the
bacteria and mold that causes a stink. Other material can be used over
and over again without smelling. Sorry that I don't know the chemistry
involved enough to select the right one. I never have a problem with
stinky shoes. That may be because I buy quality apparel and wear them
out within a few months. You may be wearing a cheap pair of Chinese
fake shoes made with questionable material. How somebody can wear a
pair of shoes for five years is quite amazing unless they are
infrequently used.
Try washing those shoes and include some bleach in the wash water.
