I think if shoes are smelly, they'll smell worse if instead of eliminating the smell, you throw in something hoping it will overpower the stink with a "fragrance"... Can you imagine stink+fragrance?
Just sun and air your shoes frequently.
You don't need to buy special charcoal. Just use newspapers. When my microwave has funny smells I just dump crumpled newspapers in.
I only used them a few times so mebbe I'm not accurate ehh heheheh. But I don't like the smellll... I think shoes that have smells er well, smell funny.Originally posted by photo_seeker:The sneakers balls does absorb the smell and replace the stink.
don't get from bata coz.. BATA = Buy And Throw AwayOriginally posted by photo_seeker:I used to use those shoe spray.
Now switched to sneakers balls.
Both work well, but sneaker balls more convenient. Just drop them in after you after home and take them out when you decide to wear it again.
Both cost around $10, easily available at any sporting goods store or BATA.
I use the sneakers balls when the shoe is first worn.
