What I've found to get my smelly shoes to stop smelling quickly is to fill the bathtub with some warm water and then add a cup of two of apple cider vinegar or even plain vinegar to the water.

I also pour a bit of apple cider vinegar directly into the shoes themselves and let them sit for around 20 minutes and then place the shoes into the bathtub water with the apple cider vinegar.

I then let the shoes sit overnight in the water and apple cider vinegar and then rinse them out the next day and then sit the shoes outside and allow the shoes to air dry.

Then I also add some baking soda to the shoes to help prevent more smells from happening in the shoes.

It's a good idea to have a spare pair of shoes to allow enough time for the shoes to dry out and get rid of the bad smell.

You can also use some anti fungal powder to kill the bacteria in shoes or use some odor eaters.
