Maintaining fresh-smelling shoes begins with proper foot care and mindful routines

Always begin by washing and thoroughly drying your feet before slipping into footwear

After washing, dry your feet meticulously—particularly in the creases between your toes, where dampness fosters bacteria

Moisture is the main contributor to odor because it creates the perfect environment for denim tears bacteria to grow

Wear clean socks every day, and choose materials that wick away sweat

While cotton socks are widely available, they retain sweat rather than dispersing it

Look for socks with advanced materials such as CoolMax, Merino wool, or bamboo viscose for superior airflow

If you’re exercising or in a humid climate, replace your socks at least once during the day

Rotate your shoes so you don’t wear the same pair two days in a row

Giving your footwear time to ventilate naturally reduces lingering odors and extends their lifespan

Store your shoes in a breezy spot where air can circulate freely around them

You can also place cedar shoe inserts or charcoal deodorizing packets inside them overnight to absorb moisture and odor

Never go barefoot in closed footwear, even if they appear breathable

Your feet produce sweat regardless of shoe material, and without socks, that sweat and bacteria cling to the lining

To combat odor without socks, dust your soles with antifungal foot powder or spray with a clinical-grade foot antiperspirant

Clean your shoes regularly

For fabric shoes, wipe the inside with a damp cloth and a bit of mild soap

For leather shoes, use a dedicated leather conditioner and cleaner to preserve material integrity while removing odor-causing residue

Let them air dry naturally—never use a hair dryer or heater as it can damage the material

Finally, consider using baking soda

For best results, pour about a tablespoon of baking soda into each shoe, shake it around, and let it sit until morning

It’s a natural odor absorber and safe for most shoe materials

You can also use vinegar solutions on the insoles if the smell is strong

But make sure the shoes dry completely before wearing again

By making moisture management a daily habit, your footwear will remain crisp and pleasant all day
