Grim off the dust and debris on your sandals with a tooth brush slowly before washing them.

Clean the footwear with cold water mixed with any soft detergent and again brush them softly to remove the dirt and debris attached to the soles of the shoes.

Use a soft brush to smoothly clean any scars on your shoes. Use a wet cloth with little flap of any light detergent to gently rub the scars on the leather sandals. For suede sandals, take a damp cloth dipped in little amount of vinegar and smoothly rub on the marked areas. And then, rinse off the shoes thoroughly with water.

Never forget to clean in between the straps of your footwear that may cause discomfort to your feet by causing any irritation while walking.

After washing, wipe and dry your footwear in a well ventilated area to avoid odor formation. You can even stuff them with news papers to wick away the moisture and thus maintain their original shape.

To keep your shoes smell fresh, sprinkle a pinch of baking soda in them. This will kill the odor causing bacteria if any and keep your shoes smell fresh.

Always keep a pair of odor-eating insoles available in the market. These insoles are designed with bacteria repellents that eradicate the odor causing bacteria thus keeping your footwear odor free.

Air-dry you shoes after every wear to avoid moisture formation which may further cause shoe odor.
