Do all flats smell bad, or is it just mine?

Question

I have many pairs of flats and I only like wearing this kind of shoe. But they stink and I don't know how to get rid of the smell. help please! My other shoes don't stink, just my flats. I can't even wear the little little socks, they still show...

Answer 1

try using foot powder, you can get it at the drugstore. this will prevent your foot from sweating and eliminate the bad smell.

Answer 2

yeah mine smell bad too!

its because you cant wear socks with them and your feet sweat inside of them.

hence the stench. haha

what i do is sprinkle a little scented baby powder in them every so often.

you can also get some shoe odor spray. they probably sell it at target or walmart or shoes stores..

some shoes are also machine washable. it depends on the fabric though. the label might tell you...

Answer 3

It's because you wear them with no socks.  You need foot spray.  That's the only thing you can do.  You might not be able to get the smell out of the ones that already smell, but you can prevent it from happening in new shoes with foot spray.  Stick with the foot spray and not baby powder.  If you use baby powder in them too many times, it makes a nasty paste.  Pretty disgusting!

Answer 4

OMG!!!  i have the same problem. i though i was the only one. lol. it tends to be the ones from payless that really smell. idk? maybe its  cuz its exposed to the dirt more or somthing? idk? normally all i do is put talc and them just leave them sitting out for a while or put perfume them leave them outside over night. that seems to work for mine but after i wear them a couple of time they start to smell again........hope i help!!! ;D

Answer 5

Mine do the same thing and its because you dont wear socks! so if you still dont, put baby powder in them every night! Dont just spray it with some Febreze! Trust me!

Answer 6

check the material they are made from that could be it

Answer 7

I have these black flats that smell kinda bad. But it's not a foot smell.

It's like this weird leathery musty smell... which sounds gross. But I swear my feet don't smell. Lol.

Answer 8

oder eaters. They work magic

Answer 9

yeah same here

i think it is just because you dont wear socks with them and your feet cant breathe in them

idk i guess you just have to live with it : /

Answer 10
