Why sandals, sports shoes and footbeds start to smell after use...
Sandals, sports shoes, insoles and footbeds have one thing in common; over time, contact with your bare feet or sweaty socks will lead to a build-up of dirt, sweat and body oils. This leads to bacterial growth and smelly footwear!
Sports shoes, sandals and footbeds need to be cared for properly to avoid odour build up…
If you’re a keen sports person or simply enjoy some active leisure time, your sports shoes are likely to smell bad at some point and the same can also be said for sandals.
Wearing sports shoes or sandals with bare feet will lead to a build-up of dirt, sweat and body oils . This will encourage the growth of bacteria, which cause smelly footwear, especially in hot conditions. The same issue will apply to shoes, footbeds and insoles, even if you’re wearing socks.
Additionally, if sandals and sports shoes are not adequately cleaned, bacterial growth will lead to decomposition of the materials and stitching. This is especially common in natural materials such as leather and cork as they are broken down by bacteria for nourishment, leading to them rotting and reducing the useful life time of your footwear.
Nikwax Sandal and Sports Shoe Wash™ is a highly effective cleaner and deodoriser which has been designed and optimised to clean and deodorise all non-waterproof footwear, including shoes, sandals and next to skin areas of footwear, such as insoles and footbeds.
Use Nikwax Sandal & Sports Shoe Wash™ when your footwear starts to smell...
Once your sandals or sports shoes have been used a few times and are starting to smell, use Nikwax Sandal & Sports Shoe Wash™ to clean, deodorise and freshen. You can use this on all non-waterproof footwear, including sports shoes, trainers, sandals and next to skin areas of footwear, such as insoles and footbeds to keep them in top condition.
Make sure you clean and deoderise your non-waterproof footwear…
Alternative footwear cleaning products broadly fall into one of two categories; non-specific cleaners or freshening products. Both have disadvantages when cleaning non waterproof and next to skin areas of footwear.
Non-specific cleaners will remove bacterial build up, but are not designed to provide long term odour protection.
Footwear freshening products will mask odours but fail quickly, as they do not remove the bacteria which cause odour. Additionally these products are often solvent based and flammable.
