This time of the year with almost everyone wearing sneakers due to comfort, sports, or pleasure eventually they start to stink! To nix this odor, drop a few lemon peels colorful side up into them and let sit overnight. The white pith will absorb moisture and odor while the citrus scent refreshes the shoes. If you want to protect your trusty kicks from rain, rub an unused white candle over the fabric parts of the shoe, then blow dry, set on high speed, to melt the wax. Let dry. This will form a barrier to repel water.
