Rock climbing is a popular activity among those looking to lose weight, as the full-body engagement helps promote sweating and eliminate excess body moisture. However, this also means that climbing shoes, once soaked with sweat, can easily develop unpleasant odors. If you’ve been struggling with this issue, the following tips can help your shoes say goodbye to that sweaty smell.

3. Use activated carbon bags to deodorize the inside of your shoes. You can purchase commercial charcoal bags, or if they’re unavailable, you can make your own by stuffing charcoal used for barbecuing into an old sock and sealing the opening—voilà, your homemade activated carbon bag is ready.
4. Similar to activated carbon bags, drying used tea bags and placing them inside your shoes can also help absorb odors.
5. Wash with hot water, but not too hot to avoid damaging the shoes. The key is to soak them for 3–5 minutes, then scrub with laundry detergent to effectively remove the odor.

Each method is simple, right? Remember these tips, and you’ll never have to worry about smelly shoes
