Odour absorbers for shoes

Why are odor absorbers necessary?

Smelly shoes can be very unpleasant. When you take your shoes off, the bad odor can also be noticed by others. Moreover, this smell indicates that your shoes contain many fungi and bacteria. The more fungi and bacteria in your shoes, the worse the odor becomes. For these bacteria, your shoes are a real paradise because it’s warm and moist inside. This environment allows bacteria and fungi to multiply rapidly, causing your shoes to smell worse and worse. Fortunately, you can easily get rid of smelly shoes using odor absorbers.

How do odor absorbers help against smelly shoes?

To prevent smelly shoes, Shoefresh odor-absorbing insoles are ideal. These insoles have been specially designed for people who suffer from sweaty feet. As explained above, the unpleasant smell is caused by a combination of sweat and bacteria. Our odor absorbers tackle both problems. The bamboo in the odor absorbers has two important properties: first, it absorbs sweat from the feet; second, it has antibacterial effects. So you’re hitting two birds with one stone!

Are odor absorbers comfortable in my shoes?

Bamboo is not only antibacterial and absorbent but also wonderfully soft for your feet. In addition, the insoles contain a layer of latex foam that provides cushioning and comfort. This makes the insoles very comfortable to wear. For the best fit and comfort, it’s important to trim the insoles to the correct size so they don’t bunch up or slip inside your shoes.

How do I trim the odor absorbers to size?

Shoefresh odor absorbers fit shoe sizes 35–46. Follow the steps below to trim the insoles to the right size:

  1. Remove the old insoles from your shoes.

  2. Place the old insoles on top of the new Shoefresh insoles, making sure the inner edges align.

  3. Use a pen to trace a line around the top insole.

  4. Carefully cut the new insoles along the line. Be careful not to cut too short.

  5. Place the new Shoefresh insoles into your shoes.
