Any chance you took those shoes with you on your visit to your parents? Because real vinegar generally kills smelly bacteria, and I can imagine your mom sneaking some in to help while you weren't looking.

You could add baking soda and make a shoe volcano...

If Mum had done that, she would never have been able to resist telling me about it. But now I know, maybe I should try myself?

I can't imagine it could harm the shoes more than my corrosive feet.

I bought a pair of raaaaaather expensive Diesel trainer/ mules when I lived in London. I think it must have been back when we got bonuses. I wore them all Summer, then had to bin them in Autumn. Because they were backless I couldn't wear them with socks, and my feet just made them dissolve inside. In fact I remember I was wearing them on 11 September, and a girl on the bus was giving me dirty looks. I knew by then they were getting stinky, but all I could think was, "Terrorists are killing people out there, all you have to deal with is my trainers?!"

I think I may have binned them the next day.
My Diesel trainers died on 9/11.
