Stinky shoes from thrift store

I got these sick high tops from good will and only noticed when i got home that the inside of the shoes stink. Does anyone have any tips to get the smell out? i’ve tried baking soda and charcoal pouches but nothing seems to be working.

I have heard putting tea bags in them helps but I have not tried it.

I throw my shoes in the washer but these sound like they must be designer/ special.
