Vinegar or hydrogen peroxide will also help eliminate the unpleasant odor. You need to wet cotton wool with one of these products and wipe the shoes from the inside. However, this should be done so that the shoes are not too wet afterwards.

You can put a couple of drops of essential oil inside your favorite shoes. The best ones are those with lavender or lemon aroma. They actively fight bacteria that cause unpleasant odor.

You can also put dry tea bags inside overnight, which will absorb the unpleasant smell. You can also sprinkle soda, baby powder or put a tablet of activated carbon in the shoes. These products also absorb the unpleasant smell.

You can put mint, sage or crushed oak bark in your shoes. However, do not forget to look after your own shoes.

These techniques can only eliminate weak odors. Therefore, shoes should be washed regularly to avoid a persistent unpleasant odor that will be quite difficult to get rid of.
