How do you clean sweaty leather sandals?

I have a couple of pairs of leather clog sandals that I have not had very long, I really like these sandals and dont want to throw them away. I wore them to the beach and they got wet while I was wearing them and now they have that sweaty smell when i wear them for any amount of time. Is there a product or any way to clean them?

How do you clean sweaty leather sandals?
depends on the leather really,





but you will have to get a really good leather cleaner and conditioner in one product. Walmart sells one that is pretty good comes in black bottle so does cvs . Lather up the sandals really well with product , you might want to use a soft bristle brush too to open the leather pores up and remove dirt and soil and odor , then you will have to wipe clean with soft cloth and let dry and then repeat process. if its dark leather you can also try spraying folex on the sandals and immediately wiping dry after you use leather treatment.





you shouldnt wear leather sandals to the beach, the salt sand and water is horrible on leather , there are many sandals that eva or have cloth straps ,





im not sure if you are a man or woman or what kind of sandals you wore but reef , crocs, danclogs, privo and earth make all purpose sandals
Reply:I think I can help. Do this at your own risk!!! Follow this exactly: Do not skip any steps or try to shortcut them. First, are they completely sewn together, glued together, or both? If you can see the stitching where everything is sewn together, try the following. IF THEY ARE NOT OR YOU DON'T KNOW, READ FATHER DOWN!* First, make sure you have enough time to do all the steps. Next, using a clean bucket or dish pan, submerge the sandals in clean, warm water. Then using a clean rag such as a piece of an old towel, rub the stains off as best you can. If you wish you can use saddle soap to help clean them. RINSE THOROUGHLY! Now towel dry them. Work up a dry lather with the saddle soap and work it into the leather with a dry clean rag. A dry lather is the consistency of shaving cream. Now comes the time consuming part. YOU MUST WEAR THEM UNTIL THEY ARE DRY OR THEY WILL DISTORT THEIR SHAPE! *For leather sandals that may not be all sewn together, try the following. Using a clean water and a soft rung out cloth wipe them down thoroughly. Be careful not to use too much water as anything that is glued may begin to come lose. As above, wear them until they are completely dry. Again, as above, rub a dry lather of saddle soap into the leather. The saddle soap will help with the smell. Remember, you are doing this at your own risk! I hope this is of some help.
