How can I prevent shoes or feet from smelling bad?

Shoe odor comes from bacteria feeding on sweat. A multi-pronged approach — controlling foot moisture, deodorizing shoes, and rotating pairs — tackles the problem from every angle.

Cedar shoe trees absorb moisture and impart a natural fresh scent while maintaining shoe shape. They work passively every time you take your shoes off — no daily effort required.

Unused tea bags absorb moisture and odor from inside shoes overnight. Black tea works best because it contains more tannins, which have natural antibacterial properties.
