If Your Shoes Stink, Here’s a Nifty Trick

Try as you might, smelly shoes are pretty much unavoidable. When you catch a whiff of them after a long day in the hot sun and have to crinkle your nose, whip out this quick and easy fix.

What you need: A few unused teabags and your smelly sneakers.
What you do: Pop two to three bags into each shoe and let sit for 24 hours in a cool, dry area. Voilà!

Why it works: Shoe odor is usually caused by bacteria in moisture (which is extra evident in the summertime). Tea bags are super-absorbent, so they dry out that gross dampness that tends to linger and replace it with a clean herbal scent.
