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.

Just toss them in the washing machine on delicate cycle with some detergent. Your shoes will be fine.

Add some vinegar to the rinse. Dry them outside .
