REMEDY!!!!! If your dance shoes smell really bad. Try putting crystal zen deodorant On your feet before you wear them. The. Crystal zen Even comes with a small applicator so you can get in between your toes. In the packet there is also a small size for competitions and other travel. When I'm not wearing my dance shoes I put a small dryer sheet in each one and store them in my shoe bag. I used to be able to smell my shoes all the way from the backseat even when they were in the shoe bag. FINALLY solved!!!! No more worrying every time someone gets in my car:)

Bi Carb of Soda. Which is Baking Soda. Put a dash in your shoes after use.

Soap is even better. Clean feet don't smell.

Clean feet do smell, just like armpits, when they get sweaty. I have found the best way to get rid of the odor in my satin standard shoes is to wash them with antibacterial soap and put them out in the sun to dry.

I'm experimenting with putting a bar of deodorant soap in a "soap sock", or whatever those plastic mesh bags are called, in each shoe. Seems to help and I'm reluctant to put my dance shoes in the oven at 120 F for 30 minutes like some people have suggested.

Fresh Wave did nothing at all; there's a deodorant aerosol that DSW sells that does some good.

I also have a bar of rock salt which is supposed to inhibit bacterial growth when rubbed on damp feet - haven't tried that yet.

I also might try a car deodorizer hangy thing in each shoe - those are usually powerful enough to give me a whopper of a headache so they might do the trick.

Lysol spray?
