    I could only imagine what my parents would say if I put my shoes in the freezer
  • @HybridLibrarian
    Very cool tricks as always! I thought you were about to suggest to dissolve the shoes into acid when I saw them in the green bubbling thing. Which could also be a solution for extreme cases.
  • "lets talk preventive care: CLEAN YOUR FEET" i couldn't breathe after you said that😂
  • @jmarylastone
    try not wearing the same shoes all the time - like rotate them so they have time to dry out on their own
  • If you got no kitty litter or tea then what on God's great earth makes you think that I have scented wood chips and why would I want my shoes to smell like wood?

    Instructions were too complicated. 1) I filled it with sand 2) I tea bagged my shoe and my ballack started to hurt 3) I used my jizz sock by accident 4) I poured flour into my shoe, then my shoes froze with mucky flour in them 5) I threw the peel out and used the inside of the orange 6) I poured vinegar, shoes smell like an old salad the next day 7) Dryer deformed my shoe 8) I left my shoes in acidic acid 9) Now I don't have shoes and dropped the soap in the shower 10) I bought uggs.

    Great Video Fam!! This video is a nice reminder to show that level of respect before exposing those "stanky thangz" before others! ;-)

    I have a better idea: get that rubbing alcohol, pour it all over the shoes and light it on fire. The athlete feet smell will be gone like magic! This trick should also should work on your feet.
  • Good tips. You left out good ole Baking Soda! Sprinkle that in your shoes after you air them out to dry. You can also use a UVC germicidal wand inside the shoe for 5 minutes to inactivate any odor causing bacteria. Thankfully I never had this problem. I never wear shoes, only sandals.

    For low to Medium stink, I've found that a layer of baking soda UNDER the insole can help. Also the rubbing alcohol trick but on a rag that you can stuff the shoe full of. For bio-warfare level stink, soak the shoes in 91% rubbing alcohol for 5 minutes and then let them air dry. Be careful though as some inexpensive shoes might fall apart because the alcohol dissolves some adhesives. When you wash your shoes in the washing machine (Which you should do anyway, just to get all the gunk off and the stale sweat and dead skin cells out of them) use a mesh bag instead of a pillow case - it'll let more water flow through. And add a cup or two of Oxy Clean to the water - that'll not only remove most of the stains, it decomposes into hydrogen peroxide in the water, which is a highly effective antimicrobial agent.
