Reply to comment by mrsmeesiecks in Guys, ROTHY’S! They don’t have a lifetime guarantee, but I’ve had this pair 6 years and look at them! These were an absolute muddy mess before I threw them in the washer. Bonus, they are even comfortable. by mrsmeesiecks

If you want a cure... before you put them on, use hand sanitizer on your feet. My vibrams used to smell like death. Then I read about the hand sanitizer trick, and the smell is like 80 to 90 percent gone.

Ugh my gosh, Vibrams. I kept my pair outside. That’s bonkers though, hand sanitizer! I wonder if rubbing alcohol would work the same, you can use it as deodorant in a pinch

I used to use rubbing alcohol on my shoes, it absolutely does work although it gives them a slightly different whiff - but it’s not obnoxious.

This is because the alcohol kills the bacteria on your skin from the sweat that actually causes the stink.

This ideation can also be used on your underarms. I keep a small spray bottle with alcohol in it that I spray on my pits and lightly dab off. This basically kills the stink. I then apply my deodorant. Mama don't have no stinky pits no more.
