Problem with gym shoes

Look for Sneaker Balls (or something similar) to put in your shoes in between workouts.

I use Stuffits - I got them at my local running store, but you can get them online. They work really well.

Wash them in a washing machine than sit them in the sun to dry.
When I ran cross country in high school I ran through HUGE puddles and my shoes would smell horrid after. That always worked!

Pour a generous amount of baking soda in them, shake them around, and let them sit outside overnight. Also, many people say not to put sneakers in the wash, but when I played for a summer softball team, I put my leather cleets in the wash because they were just far too stinky for baking soda! I popped them in the dryer after, and they always came out fine, and smelled good for a couple of weeks. I always used the gentle cycle with gentle detergent (ivory snow).

Throw them in the washing machine with a couple of old towels (take out the laces and wash them, too).

I did this with mine (they weren't smelly, just dirty looking), and they came out looking like new.

Don't put them in the dryer, though, let them air dry in the sun.

Also, between washings, try sprinkling baking soda in them when you take them off and dump it out when it's time to wear them next.

This! This is what I do my shoes are grateful!

Stuff newspaper in them! it really does work, along with all of the other suggestions.

I used to throw my shoes on barefoot (no socks) to run an errand or something, that would cause them to stink.

I think a user said this already but get some good thick moisture wicking socks. Also for wetness and oder I use baby powder and let them sit overnight.
