My Sandals Stink!!!

Recommended Posts

Sebazz, I had the same problem until I threw my Tevas in the dishwasher with liquid Cascade. Another dz.commer suggested this, but I was highly skeptical and waited until after I had tried all the other recommended approaches with less than satisfactory results. A good dishwashing, sans dishes, should give you at least one month of fresh-smelling Tevas, just don't share this information with your houseguests.

i just took my Teva's off, and rubbed my feet with my hand, and then smelled my hand, and let me tell you... Funky.....B|

Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds. Guaranteed reaction- Dave Sonsky

I could never wash my dishes in a dishwasher again after It had had a pair of Stinky Tevas in it. I wear nothing but Chuck's ( converse ) and I occasionally wear them w/no socks. I think that is the greatest common denominator. Throw em in the damned washing machine w/some soap and let them dry. I do agree that wearing socks with Tevas looks dorky, but it is better than having stinky feet.

needed to crack my toes, and when i realized I needed a little foot massage and I came away with sweaty hands I had to give em a little sniff funk test... I washed them after...

Now I'm watching an ITT Tech commercial with a college drop out that does yoga, and enjoys driving her car whose parents didn't believe she could make it, now she's making it, and having moments of deep thought and satisfaction in her apartments back patio... absolutely inspiring.

I was the proud owner of a pair of Reef's that got 3 years of seriously high milage and they were seriously comfortable, Teva's are noticeably more comfortable, but the stink is fuking stinky.

They were cheaper than Rainbow's, I think I might need to give Oakley's a try here in the not too distant future. Had a pair of their clogs and they were too damn comfortable, got into a motorcycle accident and lost one of em though.....

OK.. I have been wearing my Tevas for 10 straight days here in the hot and humid southeast and they stink baaaadddd... I am even developing a rash on the back of my left heel.. So I decided to wash them this morning in the hotel room. They are still wet and the left one squishes when I walk... And they still stink.

So, lesson learned from this: If you have stinky Tevas, washing them in the room with hotel shampoo and then drying them with a washcloth does nothing except make stinky Tevas squish and potentially piss off the maids at the Crowne Plaza... that is one nasty washcloth.:S

Throw them in the fridge, perhaps in a plastic bag or something :P, it will kill the bacteria who's causing the stink.

Yeah hey Chop I tossed mine in with a load of wash, then let them bake in the sun to dry out, then sprayed them down with Lysol anti bacterial mountain fresh spray, and you want to know what?

They stiunk after just two wears.

I just decided that Teeva's have about a 6 month hard core life before the stink over takes them for good... Bummer huh:P

Dammit... actually about 6 months ago I soaked them in hydrogen peroxide and they were good to go until a couple of months ago.. I guess I'll be hitting up Walgreens on my way back to the hotel tonight... :P

One word... Febreeze.

Something that I found that helped solve tow of my problems was just to replace the velcro. One it prevented me from loosing some Teva's in freefall due to worn out velcro and two was the Velcro was the nasty part on mine.

Maybe the teeva's are not the problem. try taking your feet off then toss them in the wash, let them bake in the sun to dry off and spray them down with Lysol anti bacterial mountain fresh spray.;)

I wouldn't throw them in "your" refrigerator, but perhaps the fridge of a good friend
