Comment on what's your experience washing sneakers in the washing machine?

  I should have clarified that the ones I get are about $15 a pair and last me 6 months. But yes, I’ve tried everything, baking soda, vinegar, freezing them, washing and drying - even if it works initially the smell comes back within days.

    I think they meant wasteful for the environment, not your budget

      If I could go barefoot 100% of the time I would. I really don’t know what else I can do.

        Do you wear cotton (or another natural fiber) socks? Polyester tends to make smells linger a lot more because it doesn’t wick moisture properly.

        Have you tried leather shoes?
