My shoes actually don't stink because I only wear them indoors for a couple hours a day. The rest of the time barefoot. I don't want to wear socks with sandals. So back to my original question: How to remove sweat stains?
I do not like to wear socks at all. They are uncomfortable and I get too warm. So I wear my streets shoes without socks. How do I effectively get rid of spots of sweat stains on the insoles. Washing with soap and water doesn't help. I tried a baking soda paste. Rubbing alcohol? or hydrogen peroxide?
Why on earth does this even matter? People are supposed to notice the OUTSIDE of the shoe, not the inside. Your skin is going to leave a combination of salt, oil, moisture, and traces of every skincare product you put on your feet. If the shoe is leather, remember that leather is also skin....it's going to absorb stuff.
Guess you plan on selling your shoes to someone else once the style is outdated?
Geez, that's a lot of flack for asking how to clean insoles.
Definitely get the replaceable kind and wash them as needed.
Ignore all those folks with stock in sock companies and wear what you like.

There are insoles that you can just stick to the interior of your shoes if you don’t want to wear socks. I put them in most of my shoes- something like Summer Soles. They will stick to any insole that isn’t leather and should keep your shoes from getting stained. When they wear out, you just put new ones in. There really isn’t a way you can fix the insoles once they are destroyed.

This problem is NOT unusual.... take it from a mom who had a son who had it "BIG TIME"!!!
In my son's case, the inner lining became to STINKY that he had to literally put his feet outside of car window while driving.. All inside the care was gagging! Tend to think was due to cheap inner ling of footwear back then.. but My kids went thru shoes monthly/half yearly!!
Although neurologic, endocrine, infectious, and other systemic diseases can sometimes cause hyperhidrosis, most cases occur in people who are otherwise healthy. Heat and emotions may trigger hyperhidrosis in some, but many who suffer from hyperhidrosis sweat nearly all their waking hours, regardless of their mood or the weather.

Home remedies~~ It's at least a trial and error adventure??!!
Get a good foot powder and use charcoal or other deodorizing sachets in your shoes. Also, wash your feet daily (like specifically with soap, water and a washrag), then wipe them down with alcohol and run some deoderant over them. That SHOULD take away any stink. Replace your insoles regularly. Go barefoot at home to let your feet breathe.
Make sure you do not have any kind of athlete's foot or toenail fungus that maybe you're not noticing. Those can go undetected sometimes.
I used to have a big foot odor problem when I was young, but haven't for decades.
I do not sweat heavily in my shoes and did not want to know how to prevent stinky shoes.
