How do I make my shoes not smell? I refuse to be a bad roommate. (I shower twice a day already and SCRUB so it’s not a hygiene issue per say, but I have some new shoes that already smell a bit and am unsure why)

other than throwing them in the washer and having to wait for them to dry, i think there’s some kind of like scent balls that you can get to put in your shoes. i used to use them on my volleyball shoes

pour baking soda in them, it will absorb any moisture that’s causing fungal growth and neutralize the odor

I put tea bags in mine overnight (sounds ridiculous ik but it works). You can also soak/scrub the soles of your shoes in white vinegar and baking soda. Works like a charm ✨

Weird and unrelated question but how long are your showers? (Curious because i also want to shower twice a day but mine tend to be relatively long)
