Try odor-controlling insoles

There are insoles that can help you manage odor, especially if very few options are working for you. They have been designed to deal with excess sweating and odor, which is a double win.

You can try and search online for some of the options available, and remember to read reviews before choosing a pair.

Aerate well after every wear

Naturally our feet sweat, even during the cold season. And we all probably have our favorite everyday pair that can start to smell after a couple of wears.

It would help to aerate your shoes properly every time you wear them. The air flow will help to dry any sweat that's hidden, to give you a fresh feel the next day.

You can try placing them on the balcony or just somewhere they can breathe.

Deal with the foot odor

In many cases, foot odor might be the main issue and not the type of shoe you're wearing or how you're storing them. If you have this problem, you will find that most shoes you wear end up with a smell.

What you can do is address issues like excess sweating on the feet. There are some antiperspirants that can minimize the sweat and deodorants if you just want to prevent the odor.

Alternatively, you can try baby powder or foot powder.

If you have tried everything and nothing seem to work, you might have to consult your doctor to see if there are better alternatives.
