How to do it once the race is over?
After washing my shoes thoroughly with a gentle dish detergent, like Palmolive, I have been sprinkling a generous amount of baking soda inside the foot beds. This definitely works but requires a lot of patience inasmuch as it requires four or five applications over about a week.
Query: does anyone have a better fix?
Stop pissing on yourself
.
you should drink more, so your urine is like water
.
Stop pissing on yourself
That was my first thought…
Actually someone bumped a thread Emilio started a couple years ago and it talked about how to wash your shoes.
Stop pissing on yourself
Haha
And if that doesn’t work try pet odor neutralizer, and rubber sheets.
Or at least wear diapers if you have lost your bladder control
.
Nature’s Miracle seems to work when my dog pisses on the floor.
EDIT: Another thought is to stop drinking alcohol on the bike, or at least less of it.
You actually piss yourself on the bike? Pool, of course we all do that, but piss yourself in your shorts and then ride in urine-soaked clothes? No thank you.
Remember the old myth about pools having a chemical in them that turned piss red or some other color.
Man, would that be embarassing.
Come on…tell me this is a joke.
Even most of the pro’s at the TdF get off their bikes and take a leak in the grass.
If you’re talented enough to piss while going on your bike…aren’t you talented enough to twist to the side and piss on the biker next to you? Although I suppose there is a certain amount of pleasure in pissing on the person drafting off you…even if the price is pissing on yourself.

Or they get the team car to push them along at the back when peeing on the bike. this topic of piss ridden shoes is gross.
My shoes smelled like cat piss when riding in the city after rain. I used pet odor neatralizer fabreze and carpet fresh. Think I can always catch a hint of it every now and then.
Put them in a ziploc and freeze them. Shouldn’t that kill anything causing the smell?
Kitty Litter!
put them in the freezer overnight.
Being a girl, it’s impossible to “whip it out” hence I end up just peeing in my shorts and some always ends up in the bike shoes.
When I get home, I fill a bucket with water and add some bleach (don’t need very much). Add shoes (take insoles out and soak them, too), let soak a few hours (take the shoes out and smell them–you’ll know when they are ready), then take shoes out and dry them by stuffing with newspapers and replace the newspaper every few hours until dry.
You do this on training rides it sounds like?
Really!?!!? You just can’t stop in a semi-wooded area and find a tree?
Here you all go…

No I don’t do this on training rides. Was talking about after a race!
You piss in your shorts after the race?!?!?!
