I have so far tried 3 different commercial sprays, homemade mix of essential oils, and washing them. Nothing has worked. Until now! My shoes can return from the garage! I wouldn't say it 100% removes all smell but it removes about 90% which is acceptable for the wife.

$20

Nitro Surge

I love the taste and the "stim" this gives me for my climbing workout. Whether or not I am able to workout longer has yet to be seen due to my fingers wearing out first.
