<p>I have never found a good answer to this one:</p> <p><strong>How do you clean rock-climbing shoes, without ruining them?</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/HNwWl.jpg" alt="Funky Old Climbing Shoes"></p> <p>Let me be more specific.</p> <p>I have a pair of modern leather-and-fancy-rubber climbing shoes made by a major brand. They fit exactly the way I want and the rubber is still sound. But they reek like I exercise in them (with no socks) six days a week. How do I make these expensive slippers smell less horrifying without ruining the rubber or the leather?</p>
