My lifting shoes are starting to smell quite bad and I am looking for the best way to clean your gym shoes and remove odour safely. I am afraid that if I put my expensive leather lifters in the washing machine they will shrink or the glue will fail.
I have tried using some sprays but they only mask the smell for a day or two. I train in a very busy gym in Essex and I do not want to be the person with the smelly gear. Is there a specific soap or a method for hand washing that you all recommend?
I have also heard that putting them in the freezer can kill the bacteria. Does that actually work or is it just an urban legend? If you have a routine for keeping your shoes fresh without ruining the structural integrity please share it with me!
