Two weeks before the odor appeared? WASH YOUR FEET!!! Are you wearing them sans socks? I'm pretty sure the odor is yours or a cat actually peed on your shoes when you weren't looking.

In Feb. 2012 bofriend my boyfriend and I each purchased a pair of Nike Shox. After wearing the shoes for about two weeks we started to notice an extremely foul odor similar to the way cat urine smells. We do not own a cat and wondered why our new shoes smelled embarassingly horrible to the point we do not want to wear them at all. We feel as though we have wasted over $100 on each pair of shoes to have only wore them for two weeks and have to retire the shoes because for some reason they have a terrible odor. I feel as though Nike knows their shoes contain some type of chemicle that puts off this odor after being worn but does nothing to control it because they are too interested in getting as much money as possible for shoes the consumer can barely handle wearing after Day 1. I would like either a new pair similar to the shoes we have purchased (that do not smell) and for Nike to reconsider how their shoes are made and how many complaints they have gotten on this issue because I am sure my boyfriend and I are not the first to bring this issue to light.

Did you try returning them to the store you bought them from. It should be simple to take them back with the recipt and ask for a refund.

@ mkstitch - stores will normally not accept returns of worn shoes. The OP's best bet is to contact Nike and get some odor eaters in the meantime.

I heard soap works well.
