Stinky shoes!
My mountain biking shoes (which I also now use for road cycling) have become an environmental hazard. They stink up any area they're in for more than about 10 seconds. I believe it's from the many times they get soaked in stream crossings (just about every ride). They are non-leather (Sidi) so shrinking is not really a problem. They still fit fine. They just stink. What can I do about this? Given that they have survived multiple soakings and dryings already, can I wash them? Or is it time for a new pair?

Wear them into the pool (when no one is looking), then let them set in the sun. The chlorine and UV will dent the smell for a while.

... and yank the inserts out whenever you dry 'em. Mine seem to smell fishy when they get wet.

The Dr. Scholls spray works really well. Every couple rides I spray the inside with a shot of some cheap woman's spray on deoderant I got at the store. It keeps the feet a bit drier and spring fresh :D
