I was filling up the car with gas and didnt notice but i was standing in a puddle of gas...I just got my shoes a few months ago and they are still pretty new but the gas seeped into the soles and i cant get the smell out. THIS EVER HAPPEN TO ANY OF YOU? lol i have no idea how to get it out and dont want to buy new shoes. THANKS oh and yeah my shoes are synthetic leather so idunno about washing them, but ive gotten them wet before and nothing seems to happen.

if you just want to get the smell out, try febreeze

you could always just test to see just how flammable they are in the current condition..

febreeze is supposed to be really good at getting rid of smells... spray the crap out of them and let them dry.... other than that, maybe someone else here is smarter than I.

Just let them sit out and let the gas evaporate.

Yup gas evaporates pretty quickly my friend spilled about 3 gallons in his car trunk and all over the back seats but it was gone in about 2 days.

you could do this or you could try and burn the vapors out of them which could be a little more fun. do it outside :p

letting it evaporate is the most logical responce. but lighting that up is so much cooler.

Depends on the quality of the flame. If it doesnt last very long, not much. So the longer it lasts, the more i pay. The bigger the flame, the more i pay. And i WILL pay..

Those are safe since the big and small cancel each other out.
