One of the most effective strategies is to place your shoes in a cold environment to kill the bacteria responsible for the odor. If you have the option, storing them outside or on a balcony is ideal. However, if that’s not feasible, you can freeze your shoes by placing them in a plastic bag and putting them in the freezer. This method allows the cold temperature to effectively eliminate the bacteria. It’s best to leave the shoes in the freezer for a full day or even two to ensure that the odor is completely eradicated.
