I had a pair of Hi Tops in Australia I wore once with out socks, 😯 dear Lord they reaked and had to live outside. Could never get the smell out of them.

I like your style of cooking them in the office 😆

No edging on that desk is a serious H & S issue. You may get splinters. I'd down tools until they fence it off and rectify the problem.
And, yes my wife moans about my work boots on a daily basis 😉

Late 80s I used to cycle or walk absolutely everywhere (in all weather) in a pair of year-old Brooks mid-tops that had to serve for all occasions over two year period. Worked in design for print in tiny overheated studio sharing a drawing board with a poor girl who finally built up the courage to say 'you stink'. Even I thought they smelled like wet hamsters. Luckily low wages and poor working conditions spurred me on to outdoor work and a better footwear regimen 🙂

Trainers don't really stink until they start offending even you when you are wearing them.

Have memories of a student high rise halls of residence with a bag of shoes hanging outside of every window

Cooking them in the office is pretty bad form though.

Climbing shoes after two months dirtbagging in the alps. That is a smell that even I knew about.

To be fair, from that photo they [i]look[/i] like they'd stink. Why don't you believe him?

No edging on the desk as it looks like the back rather than the front.

Add a couple of tablespoons of bicarb of soda to the offending trainers and leave overnight. If that doesn't kill the whiffs then leave them in the freezer.
