Why Your Baseball Cleats Stink—and What to Do About It

Cleats That Could Clear the Dugout

After nine innings of sweat, dirt, and hustle, your cleats have seen it all—and unfortunately, they smell like it too.
Baseball cleats don’t just collect dust; they trap moisture, bacteria, and odor, turning into walking stink bombs by mid-season.

And that smell? It’s not staying in your shoes. It’s creeping into your gear bag, locker, and even your car—haunting you long after the final pitch.

The Solution: Knock Out the Stink with RANK Spray

Forget cover-ups and air fresheners—RANK Spray goes straight for the source.

Our non-toxic, gear-safe formula targets odor-causing bacteria, eliminating smells instantly and keeping your cleats (and bag) fresh inning after inning.

Whether you’re sliding into second or jogging off the field after a win, RANK Spray keeps the funk off your game.

How to Keep Baseball Cleats Odor-Free

Spray After Every Game
After you peel off those cleats, hit them with RANK Spray—focus on the insides and where your foot contacts the shoe. It kills the stink before it sets in.

🌬 Air Them Out
Whatever you do, don’t trap sweaty cleats in your bag. Lay them out in a ventilated space so they can dry out completely before your next game.

🎒 Refresh Your Gear Bag
Even if your cleats are clean, your bag might not be. Spray the inside with RANK Spray to stop odors from circling back.

🔁 Repeat Regularly
Consistency = Freshness. Make RANK Spray a part of your post-game ritual to stay ahead of the stink all season.
