    My feet sweat a lot so I wear very thin shoes with airation holes and they’re usually pretty stretchy. I slide my shoes off and on easily and only tie them once when I first have to buy a new pair. Usually the heel blows out before anything else, but it’s probably my fault because I throw them in the washer/dryer trying to fight the stink from sweaty feet.

    If anyone else has this problem I just recently found that hand sanitizer spray works way better than washing and drying because the alcohol kills the smelly bacteria.

      My brother in Lemmy, may I tell you the Good News of the Nike Free Run Flyknit 2018? The shoe that has such a cult following, it’s still in production 7 years and two sequels later?

        I’ve only done it about 5 times so far and I don’t see any discoloration yet. I actually got this spray from a CBD company years ago. It’s only alcohol, lemon, and water as far as I can tell.

        If the insides of my shoes start to turn white I’ll come back to your comment to let you know.

          Great then :) if not sure if it could do that. It know it tends to happen with plastics but I always fear it could happen to other things

            Hey, I know this 4 weeks later, but I thought I’d let you know that I used the hand sanitizer spray for a couple months with no bleaching. I actually just recently switched to Lysol fabric disinfectant and I get even better results so I’d recommend that instead.
