Odour eaters

workaccount

I wear runners all the time and got new ones recently mostly because the old ones stinked. My new runners stink already though with this hot weather.

Do odour eaters work? What other things should I try?

Try tea tree powder. Works for me.
And take your shoes off as often as you can.

those bounce sheets you get for clothes dryers would work as well, whenever my shoes start to smell terrible I just stick one of these in each shoe for the night and when I wake up in the morning.. while they're not exactly rosy, they are nowhere near as bad as they were before I went to sleep.

bounce sheets also work for de-smelling rooms, just leave a couple of them around the room over night and you will notice such a difference in the morning... gets rid of any smell nearly, smoke, bo, cat urine.. providing of course that there isn't something coming in and adding to the stench every half hour.

The Odour eaters are ok for a while but have to be washed regularly or they just add to the problem. Theres Scholl foot Deodorant in a pink bottle that works fairly well. Two pairs of socks is good too. Where would you get tea tree powder?

biko

You can get it in health food stores, I got mine in Healthwise on Abbeygate street

Cheers biko, do you put it on shoes of feet? Lash it on good and thick or is a small bit enough. Always found powders tricky

I might use tea tree powder with odour eaters.

Where can I get odour eaters rather than just a normal shoe store? Would lifestyle sports or elverys have them I wonder?

Most pharmacys have lots of variations of them

Lush do a foot powder that has tea tree in it and I also put it straight into my shoes and that helps too.

Scholl do shoe spray or shoe powder. Most chemists, even some supermarkets stock those type of things.

Wash feet every day and change socks every day.
