I follow the instructions, except I drop one tablet inside each shoe. After air drying in the sun, there is no more funk! I let them soak in warm water for 1 hour.
Thereafter, I put them in the washer on spin for 5 mins to accelerate the drying. When I removed them from the washer, they smelled great. The best since my first week in them. Some Funky Five Fingers wearers use combine pre-washes and soaks with machine- or hand-washing and rinsing:.
Tina — [Pre-wash spray] I sprayed mine with Oxi Clean with hydrogen peroxide , let them sit for about half an hour, then put them in the wash. The smell comes right out. An hour in that and then a normal hand wash is all that they need to stay unfunky. Then I rinsed them with fresh water and put them in front of a fan to air-dry.
They ended up smelling much better. After that I wash them in the machine as per usual, and then hang outside on the line to dry. After they are dry, I fill up the footbeds with…wait for it…coffee beans! May sound crazy, but it works for me! I wanted to first try this, before actually trying the Oxi Clean products. Came back home and got the stinky flows onto the sink, Sprayed … the inside, and also the outside material.

I typically scrub, then let them soak in the oxi-solution for a bit, then rinse with extremely hot water. I do take the time to give them a good scrub in the inside of the toes. But it takes ages for my KSOs to dry. IRunTrails — I have a similar problem with the technical fabrics found in a lot of running clothes. I just wash my VFFs with the rest of my running gear and that takes care of much, if not all of the smell.
