There’s nothing worse than finishing your workout, getting dressed for the day, and realizing that the smell from your gym sneakers has gotten into your clothes. Yuck. Don’t worry, we’ve got your covered. There are a few simple things that you can do to make sure that your stinky sneakers aren’t ruining your day. Keep your small gym bag smelling great by following a few simple tips.

You can try using gym bag fresheners or storing your shoes outside of your bag, but these are not long-term solutions. The best way to keep the smell from getting into your clean items is by using a shoe bag inside a good quality gym bag.

Using a Shoe Bag

Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. One of the easiest ways to keep a small gym bag fresh is to use a simple shoe bag. They are great for keeping your dirty or stinky shoes and/or workout gear separate from the rest of your gym bag’s contents. Shoe bags are generally made of a thin material that closes with a drawstring. They are easy to tuck away when not in use. Not only do shoe bags keep smelly gym shoes separated from the rest of your items, but they can also be used for dirty or wet clothes.

Shoe bags aren’t just good for the gym. They are also great for travel. A small gym bag and a shoe bag are the perfect combination for a short weekend trip. The shoe bag keeps the dirt from your footwear from soiling your clean clothes. It can also be used to store dirty clothes in if needed. Shoe bags are handy and they work wonderfully.

Choose the Right Type of Small Gym Bag

Using a shoe bag is the first step, but you also need to make sure that you’re using the right type of small gym bag to make sure that your belongings stay fresh. Choose a bag with a number of pockets and compartments so you can keep your clean items well away from your smelly gym shoes. The best bags have a number of different sized pockets so your smaller items and larger items all have handy storage areas.

The best small gym bags also have external packing straps. Use these straps to attach a yoga mat, the shoe bag, or towel to the exterior of the bag. This saves room inside the bag for more items and keeps everything neat, tidy, and smelling fresh.
