The Japanese like to use charcoal. But l’m not sure if it is the same type as those we use to BBQ

I used to use those shoe spray.

Now switched to sneakers balls.

Both work well, but sneaker balls more convenient. Just drop them in after you after home and take them out when you decide to wear it again.

Both cost around $10, easily available at any sporting goods store or BATA.

Not really. They uses activated carbon which is more 'powerful'.

I don't like to put sneaker balls or spray anything inside.

Spraying puts in more moisture right? Then with more moisture errmm things will grow? Razz

I think if shoes are smelly, they'll smell worse if instead of eliminating the smell, you throw in something hoping it will overpower the stink with a "fragrance"... Can you imagine stink+fragrance?

Just sun and air your shoes frequently.

You don't need to buy special charcoal. Just use newspapers. When my microwave has funny smells I just dump crumpled newspapers in. Razz

The sneakers balls does absorb the smell and replace the stink.

MooKu SG

I only used them a few times so mebbe I'm not accurate ehh heheheh. But I don't like the smellll... I think shoes that have smells er well, smell funny. Razz Ok la matter of preference. =)

I use the sneakers balls when the shoe is first worn. This ensures that the shoe doesn't have any smell accumulated.

If you have sweaty feet like me, use foot powder, powder absorbs sweat and neutralise the bacteria.
