Stick them in the freezer overnight - will kill the bacteria in them and will stop them smelling for a bit

+1 for sticking them in the freezer....you can do that with footwear to to help kill or prevent athletes foot.
make up some kind of Tea-tree oil spray maybe if you don't want to buy the expensive shoe and foot cleaning one from boots and spray the inside with it and then freeze them.

Anti bacterial spray to kill the bacteria.
Short term baking soda (not baking powder) or fabreeze can also help.

Buy a bottle of Isopropyl Alcohol for a fiver eg like this, mix it 50/50 with water in a spray bottle and spray it over/ into the gloves to kill the bacteria, then leave to dry.
Works well and doesn't harm leather :thumbup

Be careful with IPA if you go for that option. it removes all the oils from things so can damage some materials.
I would use some kind of APC or All Purpose Cleaner diluted down with water and use a toothbrush to scrub the inside then rinse out with water and leave to dry naturally, not over a heater as this can dry out the leather and damage it.

Use a UV lamp, thats what they use where your buy used boots like ex army boots etc plus hire skating/bowling boots etc, it is also used in a lot of sewage plants to kill bacteria.
