Many of us have shoes or boots that stink. It’s a fact that many of us go for a run or hike and then put them back in the closet when we get home. I’d even bet that a high percentage of us never think about really cleaning our footwear. Wearing socks can help reduce the odors that are inside our inside our shoes.
