Shoe fungus smell
Are they trainers/sneakers?If so, there's your problem.Don't wear trainers/sneakers.There isn't a single excuse for it.They stink, and they look like crap.All of them.If they're not trainers/sneakers they're probably not leather, right?Some nasty artificial material?Dear me no.Not good.Leather shoes, mate.Always.

I don't have any specific answers for the question, but i have to qualify decani's response.The only pair of shoes i have that smell are my all leather dr martens.They smell on the inside and even on the outside.I've tried sprays, odor reducing insoles, etc., and I can safely say that just getting leather shoes will not prevent odor problems.

This won't exactly answer your question, but one trick i use that works quite well is to always rub ample amounts of lotion on my feet every day(Morning)Right before placing them into socks.Almost any lotion will work, but especially good is a lotion with extracts/essential oil of lavendar or eucalyptus or whatnot(Naturally anti microbial and antifungal).My favorite is kiss my face lavendar shea butter.Of course, if you're a man, you can surely find a more manly smelling lotion(Maybe try olive aloe).

Cedar oil keeps my hiking boots fresh for days.Three drops under the foot bed, anti fungal.

As i write this i have a pair of very smelly running shoes sitting in the dining room after having been literally washed down with isopropyl(Rubbing)Alcohol.I poured it on the inside and the outside.I vaguely remember doing this in the past and it working.Good luck.I will watch for other solutions.

Yes, they are black, non leather shoes.They are extremely comfortable and also sort of 'dressy' if you don't look christian louboutin shoes uk too closely.I like 'em.
Thanks for the designer lotion idea, i may try that.But i am looking for a common chemical that is cheap and available over the counter.I was thinking of something to soak them in for a few hours or overnight.
The alcohol idea sounds intriguing.They are just frigging magic.My feet and shoes never, ever stink now.
If you could figure out a way to expose the insides of your shoes to strong uv light, that might disinfect them.With regular clothes, i'd suggest just hanging them in the sun for a couple of days, but i don't think that would work for shoes.

1.I love black athletic shoes for everyday wear myself(Reeboks, christian louboutin uk adidas, nikes, any of them).
2.Odor is definitely a problem you have to cope with if you like to wear these shoes.
3.I rotate through three pairs.So they get one day on, two days to air out.
4.Odor is not necessarily bad.As william james said,"Even the rankest odor is interesting so long as it is not too strong. "
5.I used to run.Without socks.Without the sophistication of doing shoe rotation.This was many years ago and i can recall that smell better than marcel proust and a madeleine.
