How can I get rid of the smell? To eliminate the smell you need to remove the food source that the bacteria is eating.

You could also use a shoe or boot dryer. |

We sweat all over -- our hands have a comparable number of sweat glands, for example -- and most of the rest of our body doesn't particularly stink, except for our armpits. The difference is socks and shoes cover up our feet. The sweat our feet produce can't easily escape into the air like the sweat on our hands. Therefore, the sweat collects in our socks and shoes. The bacteria love this dark, damp feast and have a sort of feeding frenzy. When you take off your shoes, the smell that hits you is all the bacteria excretions that's collected on your feet and in your socks and shoes. |
