Yes, vinegar is an excellent product for cleaning your shoes from the inside to eliminate the odor. This is due to the acid contained in vinegar - it can neutralize strong odors.

To do this, you only need a tissue or a small brush (it can be an old toothbrush). After you rub the inside of the shoe with vinegar, let it dry for a day. The smell will disappear.

There are two more items in your kitchen that can help you win this fight. Both products are great for removing bacteria that cause unpleasant odors in shoes.

The technique is elementary. First, make sure that the sneakers are clean and free of dust and dirt. Then sprinkle the inside of your shoes with a spoonful of salt or baking soda.

Leave a relatively long time, for example, overnight.

Before wearing the sneakers, remove the remaining soda or salt, and you will immediately notice a huge difference.

3. Absorbent pads

This advice may seem strange, but it works. The main problem with slip-ons is that people wear them without socks.

This causes a rather unpleasant smell, and you are back to square one.

When using absorbent pads as insoles in slip-ons, your feet are standing on a thick layer of cotton, which absorbs excess moisture and odor, preventing them from entering the shoes.
