Hello,

I had to hike in tropical climate for a long time using the only hiking boots I have. They stink like rotting socks now, naturally. I was wondering maybe you guys know some tricks how to get rid of the smell without buying some special deodorant? Would be nice not to stink like death when I couchsurf. I tried freezing the boots for a few days, it's -20C where I live, but it didn't really help. Any ideas? Pic unrelated.
>>
I heard that vinegar is supposed to remove smells.

Get the cheapo stuff, soak them boots and then wash them with soapy water. The vinegar should eliminate the rotten smell and the soap should get rid of the vinegar smell. Just check if the material can handle acids
>>
Collidial silver will help kill the bacteria.
>>
after you get rid of the smell, you could prevent it from returning by removing the insoles and replace them with some fancy anti-bacterial charcoal soles

Please take your racist shit to /b/.

you might want to seek the meaning of racism my friend cause there ain't any racism in there
>>
This might seem stupid to suggest because it's so obvious, but do make sure you've let your boots dry completely for a while, that will help kill some of what's making the smell. Then try some of the methods listed.
>>
dry them completely if you have a dehumidifier
then put them in the freezer for a few hours wrapped in a grocery bag.

smell gone you're welcome

Seconding this. Freezing is the way to go but make sure they're dry and treat the leather first.

Bleach. Wash them in a bleach solution. Kills the smell but might damage the color

Thanks m8s, vinegar helped a lot. Now I put some baking soda inside my boots. When they'll dry I'll freeze them and it will be an overkill. Now I will be able to travel with dignity.
