Do your kids wear toms?

Ava has 2 pairs and we love them! The problem is they have started to stink and so do her feet! Ugh. She has to wear close toed shoes to daycare and these are perfect because she can take them on and off by herself. I don't want her to be stinky!! Haha. I don't know if maybe I should try odor eaters or something. Any ideas?

    Thanks! I was wondering about washing them. I guess the canvas ones would be fine but prob not the glittery ones. They already have tons of glitter falling off. I will try the baby powder.

  • My 3 year old has the glitter ones and loves them!  She only wears them 1-2 times a week though, they don't stink yet.

  • Put the shoes in the "flag" (the bag that came with them) and wash them on gentle with some baking soda, then let them air dry. Putting baby powder between washings can help too.

  • If you can't wash them, I would try making a paste w/ baking soda and water, then using a toothbrush to scrub the inside.

     

    How are the shoes holding up? I've been wanting to buy my girls a pair each, but I keep hearing that the kid ones wear out quickly!

  • i use show fogger spray I got at DSW---it kills bacteria and leave a fresh scent. I use it overnight so it has time to dry and process.
  • Baby powder isn't going to do anything about the odor.  Fill the shoes with baking soda and leave it over night until the odor is gone.  Keep the odor away by filling a pair of old socks with baking soda and placing them in the shoes each night.

    This was the only thing that kept my teenagers' shoes from killing me with odor every day. lol
