    My problem is sandals - you would have thought they would smell less because they are not so enclosed but I have a pair of really comfy Clarks suede sandals with velcro straps and they are evil!! I've tried bicarb and Febreze but they don't help and as the sandals are open I can't stuff them with anything. Crystal deodorant stone rubbed over the soles of my feet in the morning seems to help a bit
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!

    I've got this problem with my fitflop goghs - not with any other boots or shoes. I'm at a loss as to what to do - they can't go in the washing machine. I've tried scrubbing, teatree, babywipes, bicarb - can't get rid of the smell! Uurgh!

    Hi randomer,

    There's an earlier thread with lots of tips that should help you sort out your sons shoes so I've added your post to it to keep the suggestions together.
