You need to get into all those nooks and crannies and crevices with a minty fresh remedy. Your personality never quits, so you’ll never quit on your shoes. A deep scrub will make sure your shoes will be made for walking for many years to come.
    2. Kitty litter will get the job done. Chances are, you already have multiple cats and multiple litter boxes at your disposal. So take your shoes and bury them in some fresh litter for a few hours. You’re a very grounded person, and this remedy lets you take care of your stank without having to leave your house, where you’re most likely knee-deep in cats.
    3. A deep soak in vinegar and bleach will wash your stank away. This is a classic remedy for a classy person. You value efficiency, and this method is definitely effective and affordable. Keep your kicks fly, your stank away and get back to happy hour.
    4. Wear some socks. These are cheap cotton accessories that you can purchase at many of your local stores. I know you’ve been avoiding them for years, but it may be time to succumb. You value your freedom, but you also value human company. So make yourself all the more lovable by keeping yourself fresh and free to hang.
