My stinky slippers

5 replies

My slippers stink. I have stinky feet. The feet are washed daily. The slippers are washed every few weeks with bio powder at 30deg. The slippers are synthetic, but I have had the same problem with sheepskin ones. And with crocs. I wear them barefoot and don't really want to put socks on to wear them. Any suggestions for removing the smell, or let smell- prone slippers.

Get new slippers and wash them more frequently.

Insoles? The anti sweat ones?

Up the temperature on the wash?

I gave up. Currently wear hush puppy mules with a leather inner as slippers. like this Clog type things would be warmer on the toes though.

sometimes it helps to have two pairs and wear them alternate days to let them dry out. That is always recommended with leather shoes.

it's a pity you don't want to wear cotton socks. You could wash them daily and it would absorb sweat before it got into the slippers.

you can also get an antibacterial shoe spray, not often seen, but shoe menders have it.
