Tired of Your Kid's Cleats Stinking Up the Car?  5 Ways to Get Rid of Smelly Shoes Fast

Tired of Your Kid's Cleats Stinking Up the Car? 5 Ways to Get Rid of Smelly Shoes Fast

KickDry shoe deodorizer (The MVP of Shoe Fresheners): Our secret weapon? A special clay formula that absorbs moisture like a sponge, leaving no room for odor-causing bacteria. Plus, it's non-toxic, eco-friendly, and lasts for ages! It's the simplest, most effective way to keep cleats fresh. 

If you don't have KickDry shoe inserts on hand, here are a few other options to try:

Air 'Em Out (The Sunshine Method): This is the go-to move for many a smelly shoe! Letting your cleats air out helps release trapped moisture and odors. Give 'em a good shake, loosen the laces, and let the sun work its magic. Hopefully they won’t get their feelings hurt being left out overnight! 


Baking Soda Sprinkle (The Messy Classic): Baking soda absorbs moisture and neutralizes shoe odors, but it's messy and not a long-term fix. If you have this product on hand, simply sprinkle a generous amount inside your cleats, let it sit overnight, and then shake it out. 


Freeze 'Em (An Overnight Chill Session): Give your cleats a chilly slumber party to help reduce bacteria, but remember, it's not a substitute for proper drying. Sticking smelly cleats in the freezer might kill some bacteria, but it won't tackle the root of the problem: moisture. 


Essential Oil Spray (The Temporary Fix): A spritz of essential oils can mask shoe odors temporarily, but it won't eliminate them. The stink will eventually return, as the moisture remains. 


So, there you have it – five ways to combat the dreaded cleat funk! While some DIY methods might offer temporary relief, for a lasting and hassle-free shoe deodorizing solution, KickDry is the clear winner. Don't let smelly shoes sideline your family's fun. With KickDry, you can tackle the root of the problem and keep those cleats smelling fresh, game after game.
