Love my flip flops, I wear them everywhere, then I got them wet and I mean wet. They now smell really bad. I washed them in vinegar and baking soda, then tried soaking overnight in Febreeze and they still smell. They are no good anymore. I am so sorry that these are no longer my favorite flip flops. What flip flops smell when you get them wet? Just very disappointed in Nike.

I wore my Nike comfort flip flops for about 3 months with no problem, until one of them got wet. The odor was too offensive to wear them anymore. I read on a review that another customer got a new pair from Nike when s/he called customer service. I just called. No such deal. The service rep said the odor is "not a defect."

I purchased 2 pairs of the Comfort flip flops. Very comfortable and my favorite flips flops of all time. Over time they both got wet and took on an awful odor. So bad that I can't wear them due to the embarrassment of the smell. They were not inexpensive and feel that they were somewhat a waiste of money.. Do you have any suggestions?

I bought a pair of Nike shoes and they kill my feet. At night when I get up I can barely walk my heels hurt so bad. HORRIBLE. I will NEVER buy Nike shoes again!!

I've bought Nike air running shoes for years. Recently had to throw away a lightweight pair after only 3 months due to smell. Now new pair are as bad after only a month. Horrible smell, socks smell, feet smell and it fills the room. I do not want to throw another pair away. What a waste of money. Loyal disappointed Nike customer.

I am a housecleaner, and I've been purchasing high-quality shoes for years because of what I do. I'm on my feet all day long. So I need really good shoes to perform this job without aches and pains. In the past I've worn Merrills, or other shoes to work - but this year I decided to splurge since I am making more money, and threw down $200 on these Nike Air Walk 2016s. Literally one week into owning these puppies, I started to notice a horrible smell coming from them. I have NEVER had this problem before, so I know it is not ME. NONE of my other shoes have ever smelled like this. I feel like I got ripped off! Time to go back to cheap Wal-mart shoes that do not smell like ass!

I bought a pair of New Balance sandals with the cushioned bottoms. When these get wet (like at the swimming pool which I bought them for) they smell horrible. Combination of vomit, cat pee and God knows what. Is there any way to remove the odor? I paid a good amount for these....knowing New Balance has been around a long, long time. HELP!!

I bought 2 pairs of the Nike flip flops and after they got wet, they have this awful smell. Cannot get it of the smell.

Nike! Come on guys! More money you make the worse your products get!?!?! I actually haven't bought a product from you guys in years!!! Unfortunately, I gave you guys another try and worse pair of shoes I have bought in decades. First day I wore them a horrible smell came from them and still does every time I wear them! I would say its me but not even one of my 30 pairs of shoes have ever had a smell to them so I would have to confirm its the product!!! Its even a extremely breathable shoe too!!!! Very sad the bigger a company gets less they spent on their production/product and more on marketing!!!!

My son's football cleats (Nike Zoom) and his Hyperdunks have an odor similar to cat spray that we can not get rid of. They were both purchased from ROSS stores. He has stinky feet but none of his other shoes have this issue. I am glad to see from this forum that it seems to be an issue with Nike shoes in particular. I now know that I will not be purchasing Nike in the future. If it really were a foot stink issue the bleach water soak, vinegar soak, and Krud Kutter spary regime I have put the football cleats through would have at least helped but they are as bad as ever. I guess they are going in the garbage can. Too bad, because I really hate to throw away a shoe that is in good enough shape to use again, but the stench is just unbearable!

Same complaint as the others … love the flip flops but if you get them wet they smell terrible! I've tried everything and can't get rid of the terrible odor. Unfortunately, I won't buy again for that reason.

I have purchased multiple pairs of the Nike comfort flip flops and cannot get the awful smell out of them after my feet have sweat in them. How can I get this smell out? I spent good money on them to only wear them for a short time before them smell.

I bought two pair of nike foam flip flops which were not cheap .They still look new , I cannot wear either pair anymore to the horrible smell.

I bought a pair of nike air max , orange and black .They cost $130.00 .I have worn them only a few times when the rubber came off the bottom and started to loosen on the bottom towards the edge tired to glue the edge because the sneakers squeak every time I walk and it is loud so I tried to glue the rubber on the bottom close to the edge thinking maybe the pocket had a hole but that did not work .The rubber is missing in a few spots on the bottom and under the rubber it looks like gel so when I walk the gel sticks to the ground and squeaks.I love shoes and nike is my favorite brand but after spending almost $300.00 on three pair of nike brand and now can no longer wear them even though they look brand new I need to start looking at different brand What a shame

the shoes smell disgusting after a few weeks. I've tried spraying them with Lysol and foot spray and nothing helps. These are brand new and I can't even wear them anymore. Can you tell me how to fix the problem?

I've always bought and wore professional type shoes for work and this time I decided to try a nice pair of Nikes...so many other employees wear sport type shoes...so I thought I would try it...I've bought several pair of Nikes in the past for working out ect...but two weeks after wearing these new Nikes to work everyday...I started noticing this smell when I would take them off...and then I smelled it while I was actually at work wearing the shoes a couple of days ago...I was so embarrassed...the smell was so bad...I will definitely not be wearing them to work again! In fact I will not even be putting them on again! I've never had this happen with ANY shoe... including other Nikes that I've owned and wore on a regular basis. Unbelievable Nike!

We bought our son Hyperdunks for school and they smell so bad, like cat urine. Then we got him CP3's for basketball and they are even worse! It literally stinks up the whole room!!! Nothing I have tried gets the smell out! What a disappointment. I see from many online complaint forums that Nike has been aware of this issue for years and has done nothing to remedy the problem! My son loved the Nike brand but we are not going to purchase them any longer :/

I purchased 2 pair of Nike comfort flip flops. They are very comfortable and I love them
for that reason but I can't wear them because they smell so terrible.

Has this problem been handled?

My son has bought two different pairs of Nike basketball shoes and we have encountered the same problem listed here: his shoes smell like cat urine and we have no cats! Are there any Nike models that don't have this problem? He is thinking about buying the Zoom Solider VIII, but we don't want to waste any more money! Anyone have success with this model?

I just purchased two pairs of Nike shoes for my grandson who has never gotten his shoes wet other than perperation. The shoes have only been wore for a short period of time and they both smell like cat urine. The urine smell is so bad that his room smells and you can smell his feet when he wears his shoes. We do not own any cats and we live where we typically get very little rainfall in the desert.

This is my 8th time getting this same shoe over the years. I have used them for work and for the most part liked them some fall apart early but some last longer. This takes the cake! For the first time they have a rotten smell my feet do not smell with my other shoes and now with this pair I cant stand it!!! Its so bad please help!!!!!

Paid $85 for a pair of Nike high tops for my son. I thought the cat urinated on them only now to find out that this is a product problem. He has 4 other pair of Nike shoes: Basketball, football, low tops and sliders, all have no smell. This is not a problem with my sons feet. If this is in fact a glue problem why is it still being used and what can consumers do about receiving products the are inadequate?

I bought the Nike cushion flipflops however the smell was so bad that i tried to clean them with baking soda and vinegar and layed them in the sun for 2 daus. It worked for a while but the same old thing, they still smell. Love themm but will never buy another pair.

My stepson bought a pair of nike air trainer boots and since they got wet, they have smelt of cat urine, its disgusting and smells the house out, what can we do about them and can we get a refund / exchange for some that wont smell terribly.

i have a pair of new balance 993s that smell like cat pee also and i just found out that the glue that they use breaks down and THAT is what is causing my shoes to have this smell and washing them only makes this smell worse,because i have tried everything to get ride of this smell and nothing works,i just contacted new balance and told them of this problem(and they know about it because many people seem to have the same problem),ill see what they do about it and ill let everyone know what happens.

I am disabled in a wheelchair and also walk with a quad walker, I was out one day in my wheelchair and got my White Nike Comfort Sandals- feet wet in a pouring rain storm that can happen in south florida that can be called a sun shower even with my umbrella. Since then there is a very bad odor coming from the foam padding. All I have tried is febreze and the odor comes back and will not work whatsoever. On web sites that I have asked "how can i remove the odor from nike comfort sandles" and I have found that at-least 50 people having the same problem and cannot remove the odor. These sandals cost me $45.00 and i was told they were very good sandals with good support and they are only approx. 2-3 months old. I have had 4 spinal cord surgeries and very sensitive feet due to my nerve damage. I bought these sandles because the style with the pimples bother my feet. I am on social security disability and what can you do to help me out please. Doug Grogin
