Happy Tuesday! This morning I went back to Dana Point to lead another fitness group. Today we did a 5K run/walk. I stayed with the back of the pack to make sure no one got lost so it was pretty slow going – that’s good because my quads are very tight. 
Someone please come hold me down and make me foam roll. I need it so bad. 
I always think it’s funny to wear all black – like a Ginja Ninja! Hi-ya!
I didn’t really kick anyone today, but tomorrow’s workout class is supposed to be tough so the exercisers might want to kick me! I’ll update you in the morning 
So, I recently discovered Sweet Relish the site that helps keep your shopping list and wants organized. 
Well, a company rep sent me a box of fun things that are relevant to my running and eating wants! I love presents in the mail – don’t you?
Sweet Relish Prize box:
- Mini Massager
- Key holder
- brush on SPF
- Socks
- Shampoo bar
- Stuffitts
I love everything they sent but am super excited about the Stuffitts. They are drying inserts you place inside your stinky shoes overnight. They dry them and help take out any odor.
Sweet Relish is giving one RER reader all these goodies too! After I posted about “fighting the funk” on Friday a few of you said you thought I was going to talk about getting ‘the funk’ out of your workout gear – well, at least I can help you get it out of your shoes!
To Enter answer the question:
Do your shoes stink?
*Please don’t try to smell them if you are at work and may be judged…
Contest closes 3/20/13 at 6pm PST. Open to residents of the US and Canada.
The rooms and balconies of hotels in Fort Wayne Indiana are modern and fully-equipped so that the visitors enjoy to the fullest.
That translates into energy savings and that is a huge gain in today’s
slow economy. Stainless steel cookware with an aluminum or copper core is also good options for saut.
I’ve been running and working out not wearing socks in minimalist running shoes and non-minimalist running shoes lately. I made the mistake of going for a last minute doctors office physical wearing my workout running shoes. Not a good idea. The nurse told me to remove my shoes so I could be weighed. I removed my shoes and got on the scale. Then I could smell the odor from my feet and shoes. I was embarrassing. I made a comment to the nurse about the odor. She laughed and asked me if I worked out a lot. I told her, yes. As I placed my shoes back on the doctor showed up. Anyway, I ended up removing my shoes again for the exam. The odor was a topic along showing me that I had some athletes foot showing up around the undersides of my toes. He told me to wear some sort of sock until the fungus subsides and to replace the insoles. I now mostly wear a no-show sock while working out now. I still go without socks in some shoes. This has controlled the odor. Plus the shoes are cleaner. Also he had mentioned that a dirty shoe inside is a sweaty shoe loaded with bacteria that can cause problems with the skin and nails. The nurse gave me a pair of rubber sandals to wear home instead of wearing my running shoes home. I will also try Stuffitts.
Yes, unfortunately, I have to admit that my feet get sweaty and my shoes do stink. I’ve tried eveyhing: special socks, powders, sprays. *lol* I change out shoes every day. It can be embarrassing but Stinky feet is no reason to quit: I just powder my shoes and carry on. 🙂
Yes, okay… YES! They stink. Geeze, that was a really personal question. I am going to go cry now in the corner. (walks away)
All jokes aside, yes… duh. When you are in training and running like a mad-person (or sane person if you look at it from a positive perspective), your shoes are gonna stink. And mine do. A lot.
My shoes always stink after a long run!!!
My running shoes are never too stinky, but I have some flats I wear that get pretty terrible!!
My runners aren’t bad, but my dress shoes for work are RANK! haha
My shoes are fairly new….so we are good…so far…..but Im sure as the Canadian summer shows up and the kilometers get clocked the story will change!!!! Love your blog….found it through a mutal friend! Dave DeNeire!
Hello Melissa, thanks for reading 🙂 Maybe me, you and Dave will all run together one day in o’Canada!
My shoes aren’t too stinky, but they sure do get wet in this Seattle weather.
My shoes aren’t to bad, that is if you don’t stick your nose in them.
Hmmm, I’ve never noticed my shoes smelling, but workout clothes definitely do!
yes! a LOT!
I like to think they don’t – but after a long workout I’m sure they do!
Oh yes, my shoes stink!
I don’t THINK so, but I’m also not checking!
My high heels are the worst! Somehow they smell worse than my husbands work boots. I’m honestly not even sure how that’s possible…
My dont stink but my sperrys definitely do.
Sadly, yes. I even spray them with shoe spray. Bad! I get embarrassed at the gym when I have to take them off and people are near me.
My running shoes don’t stink, but thats probably because they haven’t been used much lately….my slippers on the other hand…lets not go there lol!
Yes, my shoes smell. Especially my flats that I wear for work!
Yes! These sound super cool!
I dont think they do but my husband might disagree with me.
My feet are terrible! I desperately need this shoe-saver in my life!
I’ve smelled worst 😛
I have really sweaty feet, but oddly my running shoes don’t smell. However, my toms? Eck. I even put baby powder in there and they don’t help.
My shoes smell so bad! I have to keep them outside so they dry without making my appartement smelly!
Mine are fine, but my daughter’s? Yuck.
My running shoes aren’t too stinky… but I have two pair and try to rotate them. I think that’s the key to keeping them stink-free longer.
Only my running and cross training shoes!
Only the shoes I wear without socks! I always wear socks with my running shoes, so they stay pretty stink-free.
Unfortunately, my shoes do smell sometimes! Could definitely use Stuffitts!
I’m going to say that no, my shoes don’t stink. And I’m going to go ahead and not get a second opinion on that.
For some reason I got a message stating that I had a duplicate comment. So if this shows up again sorry. My shoes stink. I would love to try the Stuffitts.
My shoes stink. I would love to try the Stuffitts!
My shoes dont’ stink yet…I just got them a month ago.
I do not sweat a lot, but for some reason my feet do! I switch out my shoes, but they all smell pretty bad. I would love to use the Stuffitts!
Of course. But I spray my running shoes with spray deodorant to help fight the funk!
I don’t think mine stink… but I might be used to it :S
My shoes are stinky but they could smell worse.
My feet sweat so much even my flip flops stink!
Umm yah. Yah to the max.
haha! this is great 🙂 my flats tend to get a little stinky but my running shoes are usually fine until they get wet…
Never noticed a stink to my running shoes, but I’m sure if I got close enough they wouldn’t smell so great!!
Every.single.pair. My closet smells like a high school locker room.
My shoes stink. My four year old will come up to me if I have just taken off my shoes and tell me how much they stink. He has a really sensitive nose, but it cracks me up when he tells me I stink. 🙂 I want some Stuffits.
My everyday work shoes kinda stink…but luckily my running shoes are only about 2 weeks old, so they haven’t gotten enough wear to be too stinky yet. I’m trying to combat that with moisture wicking socks…so hopefully my feet will be able to air out enough!
I’ve always been curious about those roller massagey foot thingies…Do they feel good?
Yes, they stink! Ghastly in fact! I need the Stuffits!! 🙂
My running shoes don’t typically smell but my ballet flats and work shoes can get pretty stinky!
Hah my sneakers have been known to be a bit ripe!
Yes totally stink!
I wouldn’t say they ‘stink,’ but they do have an ‘odor about them.’
Not yet, but I am training for a half marathon, my first, and I think they will end up being stinking. Did not realize how much my feet would sweat on long runs!
*does a dance* Nope because I just got them last week! LOL. But my old ones… They smell of “success” lol!
Oh yes, my shoes stink – just my running shoes though
My workout shoes don’t smell, but several pairs of my sandals do. Nothing worse than having to throw away a pair of shoes due to smell!
My shoes are a little stinky. Lol!
My shoes are still to new to smell funky, but a little more wear on them and I’m sure they will. 🙂
My running shoes don’t but I have had some sandals that do. I guess it’s because they are on the cheaper side.
Um…yeah! I blamed my daughter’s feet last night while we were getting ready to go to the gym. I went to put my shoes on this morning, and what do you know, there’s that odor again! It is my shoes, not her feet. Sorry Isabella!
Yeah, I don’t think they smell bad but probably only because my nose is used to the stench. I’d ask my husband but I need him to continue thinking I’m made of roses and unicorn farts otherwise I’ll never get another kid out of him.
The answer: YES.
My running shoes don’t really stink, but I do have a couple of other ‘regular’ shoes that stink 🙂
My tennis shoes aren’t too bad, but my ballet flats stink! I’ve tried putting baking soda in them, which helps a bit.
It’s like farts. Smells great to me, but probably doesn’t to someone else!
my shoes stink!
Yeah! It isn’t very often that contests are open to both Canada and the US, this thrills me…..
You may not believe me, but my shoes actually don’t smell that bad! My husbands, on the other hand, need to be left outside. I prefer that my house doesn’t smell like a dead body…
Nope! They don’t! Which surprises me!
I am sure they stink, but I’m not brave enough to smell them here at work without looking crazy. Though maybe they would send me home for a mental health day….
They have the sweet smell of successful training runs! tee he he. But in all honesty, I rotate pairs often and leave them in the garage to air out, so they’re not as bad as my ex bf’s shoes (gag).
Yup, my shoes definitely stink! At least they do while they’re wet…
as long as my shoes stay dry they don’t stink, my husbands shoes on the other hand are GOD AWFUL.
Depends on if I wear socks….gross, I know.
Sometimes they stink a little. It’s not consistent. I rotate shoes in order to give them time to air out. But there is one pair that I would wear all the time if I thought it would be mutually beneficial. I don’t want to put more than 300 km on them before August where I want to use them in my 60 k walk to fight women’s cancers.
Sometimes if I don’t wear socks with my shoes 🙂
My running shoes are not so bad but I have a pair of walking shoes that smell so bad, but I love them so much, and they are not washable.
No, not really, maybe I don’t work hard enough!
My shoes are new so no stink yet.
Nope, they’re not stinky… at least not that I’m aware of!
My feet can get stinky, but since I have switched to wool socks – smartwool! – they really are ok! I strongly advise against any cotton 🙂
Thankfully, I don’t have that problem. 🙂
My shoes are new, so they smell grand. I’m intrigued by the shampoo bar…
I have really bad issue, if my shoes smell, I get new ones. I just can’t take that smell! I work at a running store, so I am always smelling the “shoe smell.” Grosses me out!!
Do my running shoes stink? I run therefore my shoes definitely express the hard work done (in the scent department).
Yes they do! Especially flats when I don’t wear socks…..
Hell yes my shoes stink – all of them. My feet sweat even when they’re cold.
My running shoes aren’t too bad – all that ventilating mesh helps – but I have a pair of converse sneakers that are possessed with something evil.
No but my husbands shoes smell so bad they remain at the bottom of the stairs
I don’t think my running shoes are terrible, but my work shoes are starting to get quite smelly!
My shoes dont stink BUT girl my man’s are another story! Smells like funkdaroid stank! He puts baby powder in them before he wears them. Bless his heart!
I’m sure they do…but I never smell them 🙂 I remember growing up that jelly sandals smelled the worst!
Running shoes, no. Everyday sneakers, yes. Probably cause I go sockless from time to time.
My shoes are smellier than Phoebe’s cat.
My running shoes don’t but any pair of flats and it’s awful!
My shoes don’t stink, but my sports bras do. Is there a way to get the funk out of those?
thankfully, my shoes don’t stink-but I only wear them for running, and always wear socks! my running tshirts are another story, though…
Stinky shoes? Maybe a little, but really only after they get soaking wet. Stinky sports bra? Now that is a different story!
My shoes never seem to stink. My oldest and youngest daughters however have very stinky feet! My youngest (3 years old) even declares “stinky, stinky feet” every time she removes her shoes!
Not really – I don’t think so anyway!
My running shoes, not out of the normal. My boots, heck yes. But that’s the shoes and not my feet. Haha. I guess that’s what I get for buying super cheap boots.
Right now my shoes are only a little stinky, but the BF has some doozers. Running in wet stinky shoes the day after it rains is the worst!
If you didn’t make the remark about not smelling my shoes, I would have totally done it. I suppose it’s like the tree falling in the woods and no one hearing it. I leave them in the garage right after the run so I really don’t know. At any rate, a very informative topic.
Sadly, yes, my running shoes sometimes stink and every time they do, my husband has no problem telling me.
Yes, so much so that my mom offers to wash them!
My running shoes are starting to get a little “funky”! Haha!
I stuff fabric softener sheets in my shoes, but my whole shoe closet still stinks! I love Feetures socks.
Yes! I would love to try these (and I think the people around me would like that too)! 🙂
I feel like they probably do after a few soggy runs lately – too scared to get my nose in there and check though 😉
Funny enough my running shoes do not stink but my work shoes do!
No, thankfully! Maybe I’m blessed with non-stinky feet?
I think my pointe shoes stink worse than my running shoes.
My running shoes don’t really stink but my kids’ shoes are a different story. Yikes!
My shoes, unfortunately, stink right now. 🙁 we’ve had a lot of rain/snow recently, and though I’ve been trying to keep them dry, they’ve developed a certain…aroma. Sure wish they didn’t, though!
Cool stuff!
Ever since I ran through snowy slush and my shoes got soaked, they stink bad every time I use them now!
Depends on the weather and terrain! Running in the rain or mud or snow at home in MinneSNOWda = P U!!!
My shoes aren’t that bad, but when I start wearing one pair over and over, it does tend to get a bit stinky!
not toooo much, but they could use some freshening up. 🙂
My feet never stink… they smells like tulips after a long run. 🙂
I’ve never REALLY smelled them…but I’ve never noticed a stench! Could be that I do more weight training and pilates and less cardio!
Some days worse than others, but they always have a little funk to them! Oh wait, my brand new running shoes that I bought yesterday and haven’t worn yet, smell great! 🙂
I’d like to say they don’t, but unfortunately mine do……
I work at a running shoe store so trust me, your feet stink! Even though I nicely say “no, no,-they’re fine”! Really they STINK! And yes, mine do to!
My current pair of shoes don’t stink…YET. I just started wearing them a few weeks ago, and so far they’ve been living the cushy treadmill life. But they will be exposed to the wilds of the outdoors soon, and then they will begin to show (smell?) their true colors.
My running shoes actually stink way less than my heels!
Of course not! They smell like fresh cut roses. If roses smelled like sweaty feet 😉
My shoes don’t smell… at least not badly. My feet don’t sweat that much, though the rest of me does when it’s pretty warm out.
My running shoes only really smell after running in the rain/snow. I usually stuff them with newspaper to dry them out, but I’m curious about how the stuffits work.
yes my shoes smell
My running shoes currently don’t stink because I just bought a new pair 🙂
Haha great question! I’m not sure since I don’t try to get my nose too close to them. But they most likely do 🙂
My shoes are definitely stinky! Those look awesome…let us know how they work!
No, I don’t think so … but I’m still pretty darn glad they are so far away from my nose (which is probably why im in denial about my foot funk).
My shoes don’t stink but it’s not Because I’m all sunshine and roses. It’s because I get new ones every other month. I toss them in the pre-stench era.
Yes. Badly:)
My shoes don’t stink but my feet sure do!
Let’s just say that my husband notices when I take my shoes off….
My shoes do stink! I actually wore my workout clothes to class today because I was going to the gym after. I was hoping that no one would smell my stinky running shoes! No one said anything so I guess they didn’t! I think they smell so bad because my feet sweat a lot. My mom makes fun of me because they sweat, so nice of her 😉
My don’t, but my son’s soccer cleats do – although maybe it is hard to judge your own funk:)
My athletic shoes do! I saw those shoe inserts on Sweet Relish last week, they are so neat!
My shoes and everything else stunk after the LA Marathon!
I’d like to hope my shoes don’t stink–but I try to avoid running in the rain with them. If they do get wet, I dry to for them with stuffed newspaper.
Yes!!! I took my shoe off to readjust my sock today during pump and it was smelllllllllllly.
My shoes didn’t stink until I went for a trail run. It started to rain. By the time I got home every step was a “squish” “squish” (which still makes me laugh to myself). After they dried, The smell was something of another realm. Some, Evil that which we don’t speak of lol 😉
I’m sure they do and I’m proud of it:)
oh my gosh….stinky shoes are away of life if you are a runner, right?
My cheap-o flats that I wear without socks don’t smell that fresh…
My shoes aren’t smelly I have lady shoes 🙂 but I am comparing them to my bf’s so… who really knows?!
I’ve had clammy feet since I was little, and – I don’t even know what this means – my family called me “hunky feet”. God I’m cool.
I have super stinky feet
Since my dog constantly loves to stiff them and rub the side of her head on them I would say YES…. They stink!
I sweat like a beast and that includes my legs!! That means my poor shoes catch a lot of action. Disgusting, I know!!
I really need new running shoes.. so probably
and I don’t wear socks with my uggs.. so those probably do too…..
Somehow my sneakers don’t stink. Which is weird because my feet always smell when I wear boots 🙂
Um yes. My feet sweat even when I am cold and not running. So my running shoes are pretty icky pretty soon after buying them
My shoes don’t stink, but if I won this giveaway, I would gift those inserts to my brother…
I just got new running shoes so they don’t smell yet, and I want to keep them that way!
Yep, my shoes stink!
My Vibrams are pretty gnarly. I hear you can put them in the freezer to cut down on the smell but can’t bring myself to do it…
I am sure my running shoes don’t smell like roses, but I am sure my dress shoes for work are even worse since I don’t wear socks with them half the time. My feet probably hate all the torture I put them through.
Yes….
Ughh I’m like a man they smell awful. I’d air them out more if I didn’t live in a land where it snows for more than half the year.
I rotate through 3 different pair regularly and sometimes toss in a fourth so I’d like to think they don’t! The joys of being obsessed with having pretty running shoes.
My running shoes have a slight funk, but it’s really my clothes that stink worse. 🙁
I’m sure they do, I’m probably immune!!
Surprisingly they don’t! I’m very lucky in this case. I’ve had the same orthotics for 3-4 yrs, and they are still in great condition and not smelly at all!
haha! my shoes smell pretty badly!
My shoes are so stinky!
My running shoes are good, but my Payless work heels are AWFUL.
I’ve smelt better :/
It feels like it depends on the shoe–some are fine, and others get FUNKY!!
I don’t think my sneaks smell too bad. My running clothes, well that’s another story!
I immediately thought of that Outkast song…I know you like to think your Sh*t (shoes?) don’t stink…and I’d like to think mine don’t but who thinks their own scent smells bad?? 🙂
Does Canada have a cold winter? Of course they do! Embrace it! 🙂
My feet don’t stink, but my shoes do..big time!
My shoes usually don’t stink, but lately my winter boots have been pretty funky! I think it’s time for spring to come here in Canada!
My shoes do occasionally stink. And this could only help!
Yes. No shame in my game 😉
UGH! Yes, my shoes stink. So bad. I can actually smell the stinkiness from my socks-which were stuck in my stink@$$ shoes all day – right now as I type this! My running shoes are actually ok, but its those darn cheapo work shoes I wear – the cheaper the shoe, the stinkier they become. I need to win this prize!!!
My running shoes don’t smell… but my TOMS are NAAAASTY! (I’ll admit it).
No, my sneakers smell like roses! Just kidding. I’d say it’s more like sweat and salt and whatever electrolyte drink I spilled all over myself at the LA marathon! Stuffits look like a great idea 🙂
Yes! 🙁 And they are going to be wet all the time, now that spring is almost here and the rain is coming!
Of course!
Yup, my shoes get stanky after a couple of months, fuchie.
So like a total picture stalker I was wondering what shoes your black brooks are? Green Silence? If so… do you like them? I recently got these after running in Saucony shoes and I’m not quite sure what to think! Definitely taking some getting used to…especially in the toes/toenails!
They are the old Pure Flows. I should retire them. But yes, I liked them while they were in their prime 🙂
Mine are okay, but my sons are horrible (gag bad). Help me!
Not yet, just got my new Mizunos a couple of weeks ago. But I am sure they will soon enough!
My shoes smell awful! During the summer, I usually leave them on the porch to air out!
It’s not like they smell good but they also don’t smell bad enough that I have to put them outside or anything. Pretty sure the key is good socks!
I’m not a smelly feet person but my husbands work shoes are nasty I make him keep them out side when he gets home. 🙂
My shoes stink pretty bad but I would use the stuffits on my boyfriends running shoes. You can smell them from across the apartment and he hates wearing socks which does not help.
My running shoes don’t – but my high heels and flats always stink?? Guess its cause I don’t wear socks in them?!
heck yes my shoes stink…like roses and sunshine (I wish) 🙂
My running shoes smell like … running shoes. They do keep some smell because my feet sweat like crazy but I have a couple pairs of running shoes I wear/rotate so they have plenty of time to air out. My regular shoes don’t really smell…. but I also have a million bagillion pairs so I guess I rotate those too 🙂
I’ve actually never had too stinky shoes or feet, my husband’s are another story!
Thanks for hosting this giveaway!!!
Not since I moved to the desert! Those stuffies would be handy for after hiking, though.
I don’t think my running shoes stink. The shoes I wear all day at work, that’s another story! I guess that’s what I get for buying cheap ballet flats!
Not too stinky yet, but they are getting there!
My running shoes aren’t too bad but my ballet flats could use these anti-funk inserts! 😀
Currently my shoes smell like pink lemonade nuun. I accidentally spilled my water bottle on them on my way to the track (still sub-zero temps & snow in suburban Chicago). Had no time to clean them, so I blotted them with paper towel (first wet, then dry) from the bathroom (couldn’t find a hand dryer, boo) & proceeded to squeeze in a 35 minute run in them. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
I’m super stinky!
My shoe funk is actually pretty horrible…it doesn’t help that I’ve been running in the rain/snow lately (where is global warming in the northeast when you need her)
oh yeah
My shoes stink, but I use the odor balls that look like a soccer and basketball.
My shoes always stink!! Especially if you accidentally run through a puddle!
my spin shoes are the worst. I stick them in my gym bag after class and don’t take them out until the next class to air out.
Not to me, but perhaps others think so 🙂 My dogs certainly like to stickmtheir little noses down them after a run!
First, I love RER! You’re down to earth and give me tons of inspiration to continue my running and blogging goals. Thanks for everything you do, Monica! Second, hmmm… I can handle the stench but it’s nothing I would subject someone else to even if I really didn’t like that someone else.
oh my god you look adorable in all black! and i am so happy with your awesome race on sunday 🙂
No stinkies here!
I have never had a problem with running shoes getting stinky but my leather flats can get a little funky if I am walking around in them a ton!
Yes! My spin shoes stink so bad!
I have never smelled my sneakers – but I sweat a ton when I workout – so I’m sure they stink.
Awesome giveaway! Thanks.
My running shoes aren’t too bad…
Not too stinky I hope! I do febreeze the ish out of everything though.
My running shoes smell moist since I just ran, but not smelly. Maybe its the benefit of my head cold and I am in denial?
My running shoes aren’t bad but my slippers are horrible!
Not too bad, I rotate my running each shoes each day, so maybe that helps them dry out completely in between using them?
My husband doesn’t call me STINKY for nothing. In the early dating days with my husband I took care of him after he had a minor surgery. He was dopped up really good so I told him to tell me a story. I thought I was going to get some good dirt out of him. Instead he grins and tells me my feet stink. So, yes, I have a very unattractive nick name and yes, my shoes stink. 🙂
I don’t think they stink but I’m not going to be putting my nose too close to them anytime soon. 😉
My work shoes are BAD, but I feel like that comes from my dress socks. My running shoes are surprisingly stench free!
My running shoes stink. I would love to try them!
I think my shoes are pretty neutral since they’re kinda new…Usually if my shoes are wet for any reason, I stuff them with newspaper, so those stuffitts would be quite an upgrade lol.
I am guilty of wearing my casual/work shoes without socks which in turn makes them VERY funky.
My running shoes aren’t too bad, but I haven’t ran in awhile due to this darn cast I’m in. Too bad they don’t make some sort of stuffits for casts!
YES! My shoes stink! I tie them to my backpack and carry them to work and I can barely stand the smell!
I haven’t actually stuck my nose in my shoes but my closet certainly gets a but heady just after a sweaty workout.
I say no, my husband says yes
My current shoes don’t, but the ones before these smelled so bad I wasn’t allowed to bring them in the house!
Ummm literally as I read your last line (while at work) I laughed out loud because I was thinking to myself “do NOT smell your shoes at work”! And yes, they do stink! My husband makes fun of me because I buy Odor Eaters to sprinkle in my shoes. I have no shame, no one wants to smell that!
Mine are ok… but my son’s? Yuck!!!
My shoes aren’t too bad but I could always use a little extra odor control! Great giveaway, Monica!! 🙂
I hope not. I spray my running shoes with odor eaters after every run.
My shoes don’t smell too bad, but my boyfriend’s do! Can I stick these in his sneakers? 🙂
No! I try to go with cotton socks at all times.
My shoes totally stink. I might be the only one who can smell them, but I think they are gross. It doesn’t help that most of my runs lately have been in wet or damp weather.
Mine are sooo stinky. I want to meet the lady (or ladyman) whose shoes don’t stink after a few runs. Not possible.
oh man my gym shoes are horrendous!
ive tried baking powder, even febreeze!! nothing works!
sexy isnt it?! lol
I am sure my shoes stink but I refuse to smell them. Some of my everyday shoes smell so there is a pretty good chance that the shoes I sweat in stink. Gross.
I keep meaning to try the trick of sprinkling baking soda into shoes as soon as I take them off to ward off the stink.
Mine are new so no stink! But give them a month….
Yep. Sure do. Pretty sure everything stinks.
Yes mine stink but I buy that febreeze shoe spray for my shoes and it seems to help
My shoes are A OK. My clothes are quite another story.
YES! My running shoes wreak, my crossfit shoes stink, but my work boots (Air Force) mighhttttt smell the worst! Oops : )
Im lucky mine dont smell bad;) Its more that my workout clothes stink
My runners don’t smell too bad, but my Toms smell awful! My husband’s gym shoes smell horrible!!
YES!!! My running shoes stink. I have two pair and switch off between them, but they still stink. They make my closet smell funky too (I know…TMI)!
haha my shoes might smell tonight since Boston sucks and is covered in snow. I keep stepping in puddles 🙁 Since I’m short the puddles come up to my waist..jk. They ARE getting pretty big though
Unfortunately, I’m a super sweater like you so everything I run in stinks – shoes included!
I think my running shoes have a normal level of funk to them. My husband’s however…they are in a class of their own. I’ve tried the baby powder, dryer sheets…nothing works!
Shoes, not so bad. Rest of outfit post workout- not so cute.
I try to let my shoes air out after I run, but they could definitely use a little help getting fresh!
Ha! I try not to smell them but I think my husband would say yes. ESPECIALLY after wearing flats.
I’m surprised that they don’t. Now the rest of my body after a workout, that’s a whole other story.
Not badly…is that odd? Now a few of my kiddos (and they be girls to boot) have the foulest odorific feet ever! Don’t tell them I said that.
My shoes do not smell? but my socks are gross?
Yes! My nose is like a bloodhound’s when it comes to funky smells. I feel like I’m always trying to get my shoes to smell better.
Oh hell yeah. I don’t think you can call yourself an accomplished female athlete until you can’t stand the smell of your own shoes 🙂
Ha-ha, my shoes do stink sadly. And not just gym shoes either..
Yes…my Tom’s more than running shoes!
I sweat like a man when running, so shoes definitely smell!
My running shoes are not stinky but my other pair of Asics I mess around town in are!
I don’t check them, but I know my Tom’s do when I don’t wear socks with them. Found some no show Nike socks that I can wear with them though, so I think that problem is solved.
Stinky shoes I do have
My feet definitely smell! I just was honestly about to febreeze the insides because teaching in them all day does not do nice things!
My shoes don’t smell good, but nothing over powering!
Yes my shoes stink, especially the ones I don’t wear socks with. My parents were relentless about my stinky feet/shoes when I was a kid. We tried every kind of powder, odor eater, smell good ball thing there was to no avail.
I want that Moji soooo bad!
I’m not aware of my shoes smelling, I also don’t check them daily. I do however take them off as soon as I’m done running so my feet can breath.
My running shoes don’t stink, but some of my flats do. Love the fun giveaway, thanks!
My shoes aren’t too stinky. But when I run in the rain they get funky! And I live in Oregon, so that is unavoidable right now!
my shoes are not stinky
they totally stink. but not as much as my bfs.
unfortunately I do have stinky shoes…. I hate it!! As a girl I shouldn’t have stinky shoes, but living in Texas there is heat and more heat so I can’t help but sweat!
My running shoes don’t stink, but… the shoes I wear without sock (e.g. my Toms) are awful!! Oh.. I still wear them..
My running shoes (and some others) are definitely stinky 🙁
Stink like fritos… but bad fritos.. :((((
My shoes are okay but let’s just say I know a loved one who could use some help in that area!
my running sneaks, my work flats … everything. would love to win these!
New ones… not yet.
… Old ones. YES.
I don’t think mine are abnormally smelly, but I do have a bad pair that I always wear trail running– that way I can run through puddles all I want!
Um, yes.
Mine actually aren’t terrible!
Well I don’t notice it until I put them up to my nose but yes i guess they do 🙂
Yep pretty stinky!
No. My shoes do not stink. My three son’s shoes on the other hand……..I will need many many stuffits to combat their problem!! Ha!
Yes. My shoes stink. My husband makes me leave them in the garage. Those bad boys are never allowed to see the inside of the house.
My running shoes don’t stink but my husband’s do!
My new running shoes don’t smell yet but all of my other shoes do! They should make anti-stink socks.
My Brooks actually do not stink, but I never put them in a gym bag or any confined space. Blessed with unstinky feet? 🙂
not really…but they do get sweaty!!!!
My shoes stink sometimes. They get more wet from sweat, so I use newspaper to help dry, but the odor is still there.
I never smell my feet in comparison to the man/boys i live with!
i don’t usually smell them… so maybe yes or maybe no…….
They do not stink, as far as I can tell =)
Sadly, yes… they do. I’d love to try the Stuffitts!
No…okay, yes.
Unfortunately, yes, they do stink!
My toms are the worst!
I don’t think my shoes are too bad usually, but my husband is a landscaper and his workboots STINK! He usually leaves them at work but when he brings them home – ugh. So gross.
My shoes don’t smell. My flip flops, however, that’s another story.
My shoes stink because I ran in the rain the other day! NASSTTAAAYY
I don’t think I want to get that close to them. I don’t think that they are too bad, but honestly how could they not be?? 🙂
haha i could definitely use these for my running shoes 🙂
I haven’t smelled my shoes in a while. They have an upper that lets air (and dirt and sand) through, so they may have enough air flow to not be too stinky. I’ll have to check them out when I get home.
Yes 🙁 so frustrating!
My running shoes only smell from those amazing runs where I got caught in the pouring rain! (thats what I like to think anyways) … 🙂
My running shoes have definitely started to stink! But my puppy doesn’t seem to mind 😛 We’ve been catching him stealing out sneakers lately…
Mine are fairly new so not really, but my really old ones do!
Yes, yes they do. Thank you for asking.
My shoes stink… I sweat A LOT while I run so there is no doubt that I’ve got stinky shoes.
I would love to say they don’t…..but let me tell you I have left them in the car after a run (you know to put my flip flops on!) and my car has smelled like a men’s locker room the next day!
Mine don’t… but thats probably because they are fairly new! A few months down the road and I am sure they will 😉 bound to happen!
No, no! Of course not! (JUST KIDDING, only reason they don’t is because they are new!!)
I like to pretend they don’t but I’ve heard murmurs of disagreement every now and again.
I say no, but everyone else would probably disagree…
It’s a little (whole lot) embarrassing how much my shoes stink!! But what can I say, guess I just use them a lot.
Not really, but that’s only because they’re practically brand new. Give me another month, and I’ll have a different answer, lol!
I’m sure they do. I take them off, throw them far and run for the hills!
Just invested in new running shoes so not yet, but my trainers are getting a bit funky, guess that means I’m getting some good workouts 😉
My shoes usually dont stink, only when its raining!
My running shoes are stinky! 🙁
Yes, they sure do sink.
Ha yes my shoes definitely stink. Great giveaway!
I think my shoes are ok, but I usually take them off right after I run. My husband’s shoes are a different story. His work shoes are stinky. I would like to try these in his shoes.
Oh hell yes. Always have. I didn’t think any technology was enough for them, so bring it on!
such stinky shoes I have!! you know its bad when your dog LIKES smelling your shoes… becuase its a fact that dogs only like stinky smelling things 😉
I am assuming they do. I won’t smell them since you told me not to.
No I do t think so, but you just never know haha I hope I’m not the stinky feet friend…
My shoes do stink and i have tried drier sheets but stuffies look way cooler!!
Looks like you got a cool assortment of items.
My soccer cleats definitely stink. I obviously only wear them when I`m playing or practicing, but they`re pretty horrible.
I don’t think my shoes stink but honestly I’ve never smelled them. I guess if I can’t smell them when I am putting them on they can’t be that bad! 🙂
My running shoes don’t really smell too bad, unless I run in the rain and don’t air them outside..but what are really bad are my high heels/wedges/flats that I wear to work…like its embarrassing if someone walks into my office and I have my shoes off! Also, random thought, poor gynecologists probably have had their fair share of stinky feet in their face..I always try and remember to pack a pair of socks in purse for those visits..LOL probably way TMI!!
My boots do…
I love your orange Brooks!!! 🙂
Cool company!! I sprinkle baking soda inside my shoes after long runs and/or crazy, sweaty cardio classes. I think it works!
My running shoes are fairly new. So no funk yet.
My running shoes are the only ones that don’t stink! weird..
My shoes do stink occasionally… I think I would use it on my husbands shoes too! 🙂
all of my shoes stink. I have had a foot stank issue since puberty. I’ve used baking powder with some success, but would love to try the inserts!
If I don’t air them out they get pretty stanky, but if I’m good about letting them dry I’m usually ok…
LOLLLLLL All shoes smell don’t they? Does anyone have naturally good smelling feet? 🙂
Only sort of. I try to stuff them with newspaper when they get wet.
My shoes kinda stink. My gym bag tends to stink more….wouldn’t mind anything to help keep the stench away!
UGH!!! Yes my shoes are way stinky! I knew I had a smelly shoe problem when my cat walked up to smell my shoes after a race stuck her nose in there and made some disgusted kitty face and then proceeded to sneeze…So, the Stuffitts would definitely be appreciated around my household!!!
Oh after a nice long run my feet definitely have a stinky smell, especially my shoes!
My shoes stink so bad! I switch shoes and change my socks obsessively. It still doesn’t help!
I can’t believe I am actually going to admit this in writing – in public! Yes, my feet stink. I recently just said my sweaty feet is top on the list of things that I would change about myself if I could. I can’t wear shoes with bare feet or they will ruin immediately. It’s so sad, especially in the summer. Which is why I LOVE flip flops! I need to try these Stuffits. I think my family will be grateful too. 🙂
Mine are not too bad yet because they are brand new and only have maybe 20 miles on them… but they will. 😉
I’ve never noticed them being stinky, but I’m sure you held them up to your face it wouldn’t be pretty.
No. But I just started wearing my new ones…give it a couple weeks 😉
Pretty much always yes. And when they don’t, it’s because I’ve stuffed them with newspaper and they smell like old newspaper … which also stinks. So I guess I should amend my answer to yes, absolutely, always.
My oldest daughter has terrible foot funk – I’ve tried all sorts of things! I sure hope something like this could help her.
Currently, no. However, I am prone to some crazy ugly foot odor from time to time!
Not usually. Unless I ran for nearly 4 hours.
Yep, guilty. My shoesss is stannnkkky! makes me wanna do the stanky leggg. haaha. I think I need these, whether I win them or not, I’m gonna have to get some.
Yes. My running shoes smell very bad. It is mostly the fault of my shoe inserts, though, as they have been around for years…not pleasant to think of the amount of sweat they have absorbed!
Girl please, “My shiz (oops I mean shoes) don’t stink!” Ok I didn’t think they do but according to my hubby and kids they do. BOO. They have tobe kept in the garage. Lol I would have a happy family if I won the inserts. Lol
My workout shoes are not the most pleasant on the nose 😛
My running shoes don’t stink stink, but they don’t exactly smell fantastic. I like to run on trails and it has still been slushy and wet the past few months here in Pittsburgh, so my shoes get wet pretty often and sometimes have a damp/musty smell 🙁 But they stay in the garage when they aren’t on my feet so at least I don’t have to smell them!
Um, yes. They stink. I’m jealous of those who don’t have stinky shoes. I’m curious about that key holder.
My work shoes don’t usually stink, but my tennis shoes get a bit of funk. And my husband’s definitely get stank!
My runners don’t smell,I find that any shoes I wear with socks are okay. My daughter’s UGG boots (she wears them with bare feet) are the shoes that stink in our house
My bike shoes reek!! However,since I just bought new running shoes stink has not been a problem,,, yet 🙂
omg those would be amazing! i’ve been fighting stinky feet since 6 grade gym class 🙁 girls use to make fun of me in the locker room.. then i’d beat them on the bball court. hah oh well.. i still do, tried powders and everything.. maybe these will help!
Dana Point looks gorgeous! When I go to California, I definitely have to run there!
Stuffitts looks awesome! My running shoes normally don’t smell too bad. However, to save packing space they doubled as my touring shoes in Asia for five weeks. Needless to say after running in them then walking all day in the heat, they smell terrible!
Mine aren’t too bad, but they don’t smell like roses, either!
I never think any of my workout gear stinks but I must be immune to it because my boyfriend certainly thinks it smells.
Yes, my ballet flats that I wore a LOT last summer without socks. I would find myself in situations where I might have to take my shoes off….I was SCARED !!!
They unfortunately smell
My running shoes believe it or not do not stink!
My shoes smell because sometimes I wear wool socks and I feel like they preserve the odor longer than other running socks!
OMG my shoes always stink … it’s pretty awkward. My running shoes are probably actually my least stinky shoes & flats are THE WORST. My husband always heckles me because my feet are WAY stinkier than his are 😛
My shoes don’t stink. Yet. They are quite new, lol.
Depends on the shoe… my flats do!
I mean… I definitely wouldn’t say my shoes smell GOOD.
YES my shoes stink – but only really bad after a run in the rain….
Nope, my shoes don’t stink. We have an electric boot dryer for our ski boots and I use it for my sweaty running shoes in the off season 🙂 But the goodie bag looks cool anyways so I hope I win!
My running shoes definitely do smell… but my normal everyday shoes don’t. What smells the worst is my Uggs… they’re absolutely disgusting!
A little, but not as bad as my son’s
Nope…they don’t stink
They do stink sometimes…I live in AZ and it gets hot! Lots of sweating
It’s been alternating between 20 to 45 degrees up here, some days it snows and other days it rains.
So they stink AND they need to be dried!
My shoes arent actually too stinky… Mizunos seem to breathe pretty well… My interest is the shampoo bar- is it like dry shamppp or something you use in the shower?? 🙂 I am all about working out and not showering… ya gross, probably shouldnt admit that.
My shoes don’t stink (currently), but I am very careful not to wear without socks.
I run on a treadmill in the gym often which means lots and lots of sweat. So unfortunately, yes!
I don’t think my shoes stink. My running visors, however… Sometimes I smell corn chips when running and that’s when I know it’s time to wash the old visor. So maybe I do stink…?
Yes, my shoes stink! Those would be awesome!!!
It’s highly likely. I’m not brave enough to check.
My running and working out shoes don’t stink, but my flats that I wear without socks all end up stinking after enough wears!
Baking soda baby is the best “natural” de-stanker!
If these work they’d be a life saver!
Went to give my running shoes a good whiff. You know what stinks?? This god awful cold I have that won’t even allow me to smell the horrendous odor that I know these wonderful shoes have!
My feet sweat a lot, so my shoes definitely start to stink after awhile, especially in the summer! My spin shoes are the worst, though.. yuck!
I wear different shoes pretty much every day (office job) so they get rotated enough they don’t smell. My running shoes in the summer start to get a bit icky! However my hubby and son’s shoes smell terrible!!!
Yeah, probably! 🙂
I signed up for my first 5K and am excited. I could use these treats to combat my shoes as they get funky from training.
Luckily, my shoes do not smell. At the moment. Once backyard volleyball starts up and my oldest shoes become dedicated mud court shoes, they’ll get pretty bad.
The flats that I have worn almost every day at work for the past 3 years definitely have smelled better. My workout shoes surprisingly don’t smell tho!
ughhh no of course not. They smell like roses! 🙂
Mine do – especially the shoes I wear without socks. You think I’d learn my lesson and wear socks, but that’s too much of a hassle!
My shoes are not terrible, the husbands on the other hand are stinky!
My shoes stink and my dog lets me know it!
My shoes totally stink! I’ve tried the baby powder trick, but it doesn’t work out too well!
Um… yes. 🙂
My shoes will only get stinky if I don’t wear socks. So I guess I have stinky socks.
Not yet!
Probably! I try to avoid smelling them!
Uhhmmmm…well….yeah! I sweat hard in those bad boys! 🙂 Sweet Relish is a GREAT idea, I’m going to have to check it out!
My hoes don’t stink, they smell… Like victory and dedication! Hehe =P
Oops I mean my shoes!!
I’m ashamed to say that some of my shoes do stink. My running sneakers and some flats that I have worn without little socks. I sweat out of every pore on my body!
YES! 🙁 My feet sweat like crazy so my flats and Toms are off limits when going to someone’s house… JUST IN CASE I have to take them off at the door… the horror.
My running shoes stink especially after a run in the rain or fog (which happens quite a bit here in SF!)
Oddly enough, my running shoes don’t stink… but my favorite boots do! Hmm… maybe it’s time to spend more time in running shoes…
I have one pair of shoes I designate my stinky shoes. I wear them when I run in the rain or when I travel to places where I know it might be rainy or I might run on the beach. They are FILTHY and they are also my favorite pair of shoes. 🙂
Ummm, yes. I don’t like wearing socks with most of my work/casual shoes, so they get stinky. My running shoes don’t stink though.
Yes, my workout shoes stink soooo bad! I wear vibram fivefingers–no socks–of course they smell like stinky feet or maybe a little like Fritos…
My shoes end up smelling if I don’t wear socks with them (i.e. flats) or if it rains 😛
unfortunately yes…especially when I wear flats?!
I think the only shoes I own that stink are my TOMS. Those babies are smelly!!! All of my other shoes are fine 🙂
My shoes at work smell so bad I’m embarrassed to open my locker when people are close by. Gross.
My runnig shoes most def stink…guess it comes with the territory : )
my shoes don’t really stink, but it looks like sweet swag 😉
I hope not!
I think all running shoes stink over time…. especially with the amount of running that I do! Bring on some anti-stank to olivetorun’s shoes! 🙂
My shoes don’t think but they’re brand new. We’ll see how they do pretty soon.
Normally, no my shoes dont smell, but once I do a run in the rain, they are just never smell right again!
These are adorable, I would love to try them ou t.
yes, they smell…..but i think my socks smell worse. =(
thank goodness i can wash them. ahahah.
Probably! I try to keep my face far enough away so I don’t find out! Those things would be so much better than newspaper! And handy for traveling.
My shoes stink because my feet reject socks. Accordingly, my shoes are always banished to the outdoor porch.
my shoes do smell. But sometimes, so do I.
Ooof, it embarrasses me to admit, but yes. My running shoes smell pretty terrible.
I made the awesome decision to run a 7k with my new shoes outside and it was wet/sloshy/rainy! So it wouldn’t surprise me if they end up smelling now. Oops. I also forgot to waterproof them first :/
My shoes are ridiculously stinky! Not sure what kind of funk may be growing in my shoes. 🙂
My shoes stink a lot. I’m sorry, that’s an understatement.
You’re not a real runner if your running shoes don’t stink. I am proud to say mine do
After marathon training through snow and rain all winter my shoes could definitely use some Stuffitts!!
Currently my shoes seem ok, but it’s freezing here. In the summer, well…they have smelled better.
On a scale of fresh roses to super stinky my shoes probably fall closer to the stinky side!
My shoes REALLY stink! Add in a few mud runs and it’s horrible:(
My running shoes, no. And generally no, unless I have a cheap pair that I wear and then yes, they cannot be helped!
is the sky blue?
Sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t.
yes- killer feet funk even the dogs avoid them but I run too
Yes, my shoes stink so bad my husband tried to put them outside to see if that would help air them out, but no luck! lol :/
I don’t think my shoes stink…..but my kitty disagrees.
You won!
Can you please email me your address and name?
holy crap! I e-mailed you!
I dont think mine do, but I know people whose do!
Of course mine stink? Doesn’t everyone’s 🙂
Heck yes my feet smell!! My job requires some serious hiking!! We can do upwards of ten miles a day and yesterday the temperature on our vehicle read 107!!!! I have the case of smelly everything by the time my workday is done!
Not that I’m aware of. My slippers on the other hand..
I’m lucky to live in the desert where the dry air keeps things from getting too stinky. On the flip side, things like extra sunscreen come in handy!
Sadly, my shoes stink. I run sockless most of the time.
My sneakers never stink! Now my cheap flats….that’s a different story.
My running shoes aren’t too bad, but my synthetic work shoes can be not pretty…
My running shoes stink and require a washing once a week 😉
Mine don’t really stink, but I sometimes pause before putting them back into my workout bag–they really do need A.I.R.! And I always leave the shoes I wore during the day right outside the closet overnight and put them away in the morning. (can’t hurt, right?)
My daughter uses dryer sheets in her super stink shoes (Tom’s and Top-Siders) cause they are FOUL!!!
well.. they don’t smell like roses!
My shoes smell like roses, but my husband’s running shoes and sailing shoes are THE WORST!!!
I don’t think my running shoes are too bad, but my “boat shoes” are the worst smelling things ever. I have to plan my day ahead of time if I’m wearing them because I don’t want to end up at someone’s house and have to take them off.
I have super sweaty feet. I have orthotics that were made by my physical therapist and I throw them in regular shoes when the shoe is too flat and think how gross am I that my running grossness gets all over my normal day. About a month ago, I hurt my back, and needed my husband to help me with my shoes. I couldn’t bend over and I could tell he was disgusted. I told him I was sorry. ha!
I’m currently alternating between 4 different pairs of Mizunos so they aren’t that bad. I totally smelt the ones I took off yesterday in the gym chnage room.
Mine stink but my husband’s gym shoes are so much worse!
My shoes do smell funky. I try not to wear the same pair more than a couple of times a week but my feet sweat profusely. Would love to win this box of goodies.
My husbands shoes are rankkkkk
My shoes aren’t too bad, but they are also only a month old. My boots however are so bad that I just want to throw them away! Blah!
Not too bad, I have sneaker balls in them.
http://www.sneakerballs.com/
I just got new Brooks…. so not yet 🙂
My shoes do stink! But you know what stinks even more? My sports bras. It’s kinda gross.
My shoes aren’t too bad (says me, my boyfriend says otherwise)…. unless I run in the rain in them, then as I might as well just throw them in the trash and/or use them to keep enemies away ( ;
Oh lord, I don’t know what’s wrong with my feet, but they have always been revolting. My poor shoes. My poor, poor rank shoes.
Okay, this probably sounds super lame, but I need those odor fighters for my WORK shoes, let alone my running shoes. I walk from our parking garage to my building and with the snowy/rainy weather lately, my shoes are soaked by the time I reach my office. No joke, I literally was embarrassed to sit there all day, especially because they were now WET and smelly…I didn’t TRY to smell them… trust me.
I don’t think mine do. I switch between two pairs of running shoes and I only wear them for running. My husband’s slippers on the other hand (foot) are another stinky story!
My workout shoes definitely stink… but my normal walking sneakers are okay. That foot massager looks awesome!
My running shoes are ok, not too stinky. But I have a couple pairs of cheap-fancy shoes that aren’t real leather and whew! those stink!
My shoes stink! Even though I switch them up and wear each pair just a couple times a week and let them air, they still smell 🙁
