I've tried baking soda in the shoes (it's meant to absorb the smell), I've tried scrubbing with washing powder, soaking them in the wash, spraying them with odour eater stuff.... NOTHING WORKED for me!
The shoes didn't fall apart or anything, but the smell never quite went away..... I ended up buying new shoes....
Oh, wait... those were lined shoes.... never had smelly leather unlined shoe issues.... |
