So looking for info on a spray or something to spray in running shoes and bike shoes. I live in south where humidity is crazy. On my long runs and long bike rides, my bike shoes and running shoes are soaking wet inside. I usually let them air dry out but looking for something to spray inside as well to keep them from getting too funky. I stopped by two running shoe stores and they didn’t have anything other than products to wash them in or wash clothes in.
You just need a fan to dry them off right after your workout. After every workout I put my shoes, HRM and helmet under a fan I keep in the garage. If you let them dry by themselves they will stink.
Buy a shoe dryer, will solve your problems right away. Not expensive

Rinse them with plain water sometimes and actually wash with detergent them from time to time.
A shoe dryer would be good too.
You could also get some cedar shavings/sawdust filled shoe inserts like Stuffits to put in them after you dry them out. They will absorb moisture and improve their aroma.

Correct answer. I have two, one is the Field and Stream Boot Dryer and the other is called Peet Dryer. Just checked and both are available on Amazon for less than $40. Both work equally well - I purchased the Field and Stream product second because it breaks down into more pieces and is easier to air travel with when out of town for work.
When my shoes get smelly I just put a tea bag in each shoe and leave them overnight. Works wonderfully.

This. Just run a fan on them at low speed for an hour, with the openings of the shoes facing the fan.
as most have said, take the insoles out and dry. I wash em with detergent and let them dry in the grass if they get really bad. Whole coffee beans can also absorb smells as well. You can put them in a plastic bag with a bunch of holes in it.
This has my shoes smelling great. I also live in AZ so sweating is a 24/7 deal

Also never wear the same shoes 2 days in a row
Feeling you’re pain. Moved to Puerto Rico a month ago, any run longer than 4 miles and I’m soaked head to toe regardless time of day.
