Shoes smell now? Be careful if you are putting them in the washing machine, use cold water and don't use the dryer! Or mix up a mixture of white vinegar, shampoo and water. Take a washcloth and scrub out the insides and allow to dry.
Storing your shoes away for many months without wearing them? Put them into a shoe box or paper bag and than put into a ziplock or twist tie plastic bag. The plastic acts as a barrier against moisture and the paper keeps the plastic from making contact with the shoes. This will prevent mold and mildew from forming on your shoes.
Keep your shoes smelling fresh by keeping a dryer sheet or small tissue filled with baking soda inside your shoes.
