Sweat and feet that become dirty through the ventilation of sandals can contribute to very smelly sandals over time. Learn how to remove foot odors from sandals and keep your summer footwear smelling as sweet as they look.

Things You'll Need

• Shoe deodorizer

2. Spray sandals with a deodorizer to help eliminate foot odor.

3. Place your sandals in the sun after wearing them to help eliminate bacteria. When bacteria is neutralized, the odors will dissipate.
