Found out that hanging Vanilla scented air freshener and foot funk smells like bubble gum.

Not that this will help NOW, since the cleats are already stinky - but I would buy a boot dryer, and throw the shoes on there to dry ASAP after taking them off. I bought one at Aldi for $11, and it works great!
This is worth a try!
Yeah I do it with my son's football cleats, especially after a rainy/muddy game or practice. They smell like an animal died and then a cat peed on it, but seems to do the trick. They need to be dry first, then frozen or else they're just going to be wet again when they thaw from the freezer.

For my first attempt I did the bucket with oxy clean. Left them in for half a day, then pulled them out and scrubbed them well and washed them off under hot water for about 5 mins each. Left in the sun to dry for the day then left over the ac/heater vents to dry overnight. Then I did the fresh fogger someone else mentioned. We'll see how well it works after this coming Saturday's practice. They do look pretty nice and clean again, at least! The true test will be the first tournament weekend, which isn't until the last weekend of this month.
