Any ideas on how to de-stink them? I can not stand that smell!!

Not sure what kind of liner the sandals you have are, but I have some Birkenstock footbed cleaner that works on leather and suede footbeds. It is made for Birkenstocks but I imagine it would work on other brands if it were leather or suede. You can probably buy it at any store that sells Birkenstocks. Online it is available from http://www.birkenstockcentral.com or http://www.birkenstockexpress.com

Depending on what they're made of you could run them through the washing machine (by themselves, gentle cycle). I have done this with LE water/sport sandals and cheapy non-leather sndals.

They are water sandals of sorts, so I'll give that a try. Thanks!

And I'll keep the Birkenstock idea for DH's stinky sandals! x(

This doesn't work for really stinky smells, but for everyday wear, you can sprinkle baby powder in the bottom to keep feet from sticking and to provide a better smell.
