I explained the cat pee smell and the lady was really nice. He has another pair of Adidas now and I hope they don't end up smelling like that again. He had to leave them in the garage, otherwise the whole first floor would smell of cat pee. I actually just called Adidas and they took my son’s cleats back and replaced them.

You spray it on the urine and the enzymes eat up the bacteria. Tried it on the inside of cleats and shin guards and it really helps. You soak them with the spray and let them dry for several days.

Headed to Wally World this afternoon so if you see a guy buying kitty litter and stockings - don't stare. I'm just a Soccer Dad!

Because to me, sweaty cleats and shinguards have a sort of cat-pee odor anyway, so this might work! (and let me know if you try it...) Have you tried that odor-absorbing kitty litter?

Regular washing with glove wash only takes the edge off. Wasing the back of the shinguards with glove wash, or at a minimum, dish detergent also helps take the edge off.
