Most people think it is a poor solution, but wearing thin socks helps.

When I started climbing, I did'nt wear socks, and my shoes would be trashed in a few months. Now, with socks, my shoes last for years, and they don't stink.

My feet sweat a lot, so the socks are the best way for me to deal with it.

Does it affect/effect my climbing. I don' t think so. Maybe once I start working on 13's I'll reconsider.

Here's a simple and effective solution. :D

Good idea, I'm definitely going to try that :shock:
I've tried several options. With my Ninja's I tried to put newspaper in them after a climbing, and it didn't work. So I tried peroxiden or something like that somebody has already said here. It was even worse, they began stinking twice harder: peroxiden + feet.. :oops:
Then I washed them, and that killed them forever, now they couldn't fit worse. :cry:
With my new pairs I put myself a pair of thin socks, and after a day of climbing I put newspaper in them. I haven't had the problem again.
Hope my experience in smelly-shoes helps :D
Have fun :wink:
