Stink shoes

My little boy jumped in puddles wearing his nice expensive leather school shoes - now stink to high heaven. Is there anything i can do to get rid of the stink without getting rid of the shoes - £30 quid is quite alot to us at the moment. Thanks for any ideas

Put a fresh teabag inside each one and leave in until Monday morning. Works wonders for my teenager's army boots - all the stench is absorbed into the teabag.

DS left a pair of wet trainers in his PE kit last weekend, they stank, a good squirt of Febreeze and left to dry in the airing cupboard and they are back to normal with no lingering floral scent.

Yep dry and unused, fresh out of the caddy.
