Promising review: "Here I am over a year later and I am still using them after wearing them every day. I am on my feet for ten plus hours a day. I searched for years for socks that could stand up to that amount wear and I finally found them with these. In terms of comfort level my feet don't hurt after wearing them all day. They keep my feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer. They are so good at moisture wicking that they keep my feet from sweating which means my feet, socks, and shoes don't stink when I get home. My wife finally lets me keep my shoes in the house. With other socks I would have to keep them outside because of the smell." –– Blake Hughes

Promising review: "I love my Suavs. I have worn them to work with no socks for a few days and they do not smell bad at all.

Promising review: "These are lifesavers for summer shoes. They last a decent amount of time before you have to replace them. Very good adhesive - only a few times an edge on one might have trouble staying down. Sometimes the wool felt will pull off bits of itself, but this is minor and does not compromise the absorbency. Tremendous improvement for sweaty summer feet. Shoes do not smell." –– Christine Dillon

Promising review: "My boyfriend's feet smelled so bad. He could wash them with soap, soak them in bleach and as soon as he took his shoes off the entire room smelled so bad that I would literally start gagging. It was horrible to say the least. I can remember one time he had his socks on and was walking across the tile floor and leaving wet footprint marks and the smell oh dear lord the smell. I've tried everything and then I found this stuff. It’s amazing. One day is a huge difference, three days and no smell at all. His socks don't smell. I was on the verge of taking him to a foot doctor to understand why his feet would sweat like they do. But not any more." –– Laura Kucharczyk

This maximum strength deodorizing spray for shoes has over 12,830 five-star ratings on Amazon and uses an all-natural blend of eucalyptus, tea tree and lemon oil extracts to neutralize stubborn odor. It can also be effective for eliminating odors around the house, like in the kitchen or bathroom.

Promising review: "Following the first application (sprayed in notoriously stinky shoes the night before I planned to wear them), any trace of previously stubborn and offending odor was 100% eliminated and stayed that way all day (despite wearing the shoes on an all-day hike in 95 degree heat). Finally removing these sweat-drenched shoes at day's end, I expected at least some stink to return, but no! The shoes merely had a pleasantly faint residual smell of the Lumi spray itself, and both my socks and feet were neutrally odorless. Normally following a hike of that magnitude under such conditions, the only way I can return my feet to an acceptable state of no odor is with lots of soap, water, and scrubbing in the shower." –– RKJ

Promising review: "I bought a lovely pair of leather moccasins I wanted to wear without socks. Within a couple of weeks of wearing them, they started to stink. My feet sweat quite a bit, and these shoes just don't look right with socks. The no-see socks would always slip down for me. I was skeptical that these odor eaters would last very long on bare feet, but WOW! As soon as I put them in my shoes, the odors faded away after one all-day use. It's been a couple months now and STILL NO STINK! They're comfortable, too. I'm definitely going to buy them again and highly recommend." –– Yara Lovejoy

Promising review: " My teenage daughter wanted to join me so I made her a separate water bath for feet. Now being that she is a teenager, her feet odor reach a level that I had no idea could be reached. Even after showers with soap and water, they are still smelly. The salts were able to kill off any order on her feet. She was so happy. She’s always embarrassed at school because she’s worried people can smell them." –– dkelley

We tried washing the insoles, airing them out and nothing worked. I ordered this product and applied it. Immediately the smell went away and has never returned. I now put this in every pair of shoes I own. This is truly amazing and it eliminates the smell, not just covers it up." –– Howie and/or Cyndy
