Stinking boots
 
How do you guys keep the inside of your boots from smelling? It's hot here in Florida and my feet definitely sweat but I can't put normal powder in the boots because they have smells. What do you guys recommend for killing the odor without smelling like baby powder?

I wouldn't worry about it... If a deer gets down wind of you, or walks anywhere you walked in the last few days, he is going to smell you regardless of what you do... You can't fool a deers nose.

I sweat a lot as well and try to make sure my boots are dry on the inside before I wear them again. Baking soda and/or charcoal might take out the smell.

x2 thats my scent killer for everything. does it work, not sure. playing the wind is really the only thing that matters.

Does the baking soda help keep your feet dry too?

I would say no,your feet are going to sweat.

I spray the inside and outside of my boots with scent killer...

Also, leaving out in the hot sun helps...

Brew a big pot of tea.
Pour the tea in a gallon jug, like a milk jug.
Then take a wash rag, pour it on, then wipe your feet off real good.
Wash them so to speak.
The tea will help with the sweating, and odor.

Good Luck.
