Some materials naturally stink, or they absorb odors and are impossible to de-odorize.
Time to throw 'em away.

Scrub them with a brush and some Dr Bronner's peppermint soap. When they dry, rub tea tree oil into the soles. You have to wash sandals frequently. I know from experience, my spouse made me keep my Tevas on the porch when we lived in California and I wore them year round. :eek:

Honestly.. this was in Cargo Mag this month.

The way you can remove odours is by putting deodorant on the soles of your feet. The stinking smell is caused by sweat not unlike your armpits.

Good luck.

honestly though, this works according to a foot doctor my mom went to. this goes for ANY shoes, not just sandals.

If you are going to get the smell out of NORMAL shoes, first take the sole out of the shoe. Sandals obviously don't have them. Then get an airtight bag and pour baking soda in it. Next put your shoes in the bag as well and seal the bag shut. keep it in there for 24 hours atleast. then when you take them out, wash the shoes.

the doctor claimed it will get all odors out of the shoes. you should try it w/your sandals.

QFT, fire works for smelly socks. get a lighter and just barely hold your sock over the fire and watch the fire just surround your sock. (won't burn it unless you hold the fire too long under sock) neat trick, also rids the odor, no joke.
