Comment on what's your experience washing sneakers in the washing machine?
eezeebee@lemmy.ca 1 week agoI 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.

I’m really not sure what material they are (dozens of randoms pairs), but I’ll keep this in mind next time I need socks. Thank you

Have you tried leather shoes?

The ones I’ve had in the past were even worse, made my feet sweat a lot. These days I usually wear slip on shoes, they’re more breathable and seem to dry out better overnight. That or just sandals.
