How Do I Stop My Orthotics From Getting Smelly in Summer?

Summer sweat can make orthotics—and shoes—smell unpleasant.

How to Reduce Odour

  • Allow orthotics to air out daily
  • Wipe with mild soap and water (if safe for your type)
  • Wear moisture-wicking socks
  • Rotate your shoes
  • Use shoe deodorisers

If odour persists, your podiatrist may recommend antimicrobial covers or replacement top covers.
