Foot odor is a common pitfall of wearing sandals. This pernicious odor is caused by bacteria that invade the shoes and the soles of the feet in warm, damp conditions. Scrub your feet thoroughly with soap and water every day. Clean feet aren’t as susceptible to odor-causing bacteria infestations.

Clean sandal footbeds with rubbing alcohol. Soak a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and use it to wipe down the footbed of your sandals. Not only does rubbing alcohol kill germs, it also removes dirt and grime. Then, wipe the footbeds with a damp cloth. To keep your sandals clean and fresh, repeat every couple of weeks.

Why do my feet smell so bad in sandals?
There are naturally some bacteria on the feet. These bacteria help break down sweat on the feet as it’s released. If bacteria and sweat build up, a foul odor can form. Extra bacteria tend to form when a person sweats in their shoes, takes them off, and then puts them back on without allowing them to fully dry.
Can you put slides in the washing machine?
Throw ’em in the wash The easiest way to clean a bunch of rubber flip flops at once is in the washing machine. Use the machine’s delicate setting (with cold water) and just a touch of detergent. Adding one cup of vinegar to the wash helps get rid of that funky sandal smell. Let them air dry.
