<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>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>
