Why sandals and footbeds starts to smell after use:
* Sandals, sports shoes, insoles and footbeds have one thing in common; over time, contact with your bare feet or sweaty socks will lead to a build-up of dirt, sweat and body oils. This leads to bacterial growth and smelly footwear!
* If you’re a keen sports person or simply enjoy some active leisure time, your sports shoes are likely to smell bad at some point and the same can also be said for sandals.
* Wearing sports shoes or sandals with bare feet will lead to a build-up of dirt, sweat and body oils . This will encourage the growth of bacteria, which cause smelly footwear, especially in hot conditions. The same issue will apply to shoes, footbeds and insoles, even if you’re wearing socks.
* Additionally, if sandals and sports shoes are not adequately cleaned, bacterial growth will lead to decomposition of the materials and stitching. This is especially common in natural materials such a leather and cork as they are broken down by bacteria for nourishment, leading to them rotting and reducing the useful life time of your footwear.

Use Nikwax Sandal Wash when your footwear starts to smell:
* Alternative footwear cleaning products broadly fall into one of two categories; non-specific cleaners or freshening products. Both have disadvantages when cleaning non waterproof and next to skin areas of footwear.
* Non-specific cleaners will remove bacterial build up, but are not designed to provide long term odor protection.
* Footwear freshening products will mask odors but fail quickly, as they do not remove the bacteria which cause odor. Additionally these products are often solvent based and flammable.
* Nikwax Sandal Wash is a highly effective cleaner and deodorizer which has been specifically designed and optimized to clean and deodorize all non-waterproof footwear, including shoes, sandals and next to skin areas of footwear, such as insoles and footbeds.
