About 4 days ago the rain cought me.
I allways start with dry feet, socks, shoes.
So my habit is after every ride i take the soles off and dry soles and shoes using the sun and or the wind.
The excess of water seems to have created some oder, fungus?
I forgot what is the trick to eliminate that.
Some vinegar?
?
Thanks.

Baking soda?

I have not tried it on shoes, but the "Betty Crocker" way of getting rid of many smells is dryer sheets. Put one in each shoe.

Cheap vodka or expensive if ur fancy in spray bottle.. quite good at removing odors.

Stuff your shoes with newspapers. They will dry overnight. Throw some baking soda in your shoes after, it will help keep them dry and smell free.

On several occasions I got really rank cycling shoes from long multi-day wet rides. I dissolved some Oxyclean or borax in a bucket of warm water, immersed the shoes for a couple of hours, and then rinsed them out. They came out sweet!

Stuff your shoes with newspapers. Set fire to it. Kills all known bugs.

I wear work boots all day, almost every day and they get hot and sweaty and then doing irrigation they get soaked. They will get funky by the end of the week. I use a spray called 10 second shoe spray. It is a deodorizer, anti fungal, antibacterial spray. works pretty good.

Thanks everyone. I was able to dry them maybe the second day but i will try that anti fungal spray just to be on the safe side.

I think you forgot the kerosene. You can never be too careful.

What is the method? Spray in mouth, swallow, repeat until odor not detectable?
