smelly feet?
smelly boots?

the simplest solution to this is to cut your feet off and throw them away

hope this helps

love

I have to say that as long as I make sure I rinse my kit out (just a deep rinse in the auto washer thingy) it is fine and does not smell....

Every now and then a single washing tablet (a la Tesco) will remove any hint of odour.

Just my experience. Also making sure you hang it straight up to dry and dry your bag helps.....

'Milton' is what you need.......the stuff that you can use for sterilising baby stuff etc.(available from supermarkets etc)  Put a capful into a sink of water, let the boots soak for a few hours and the nasty aroma will be gone. It'll need doing several times during the season but it's very effective,

Antibacterial handwash squirted inside, then swirled around with hot water.  Shove in washing machine with 1 tablet of Arial, and then a touch of softener on the last rinse. 

Marvellous.

You can get wetsuit anti smell stuff called Mirazyme.

You just put some in cold water dip the item to thoroughly wet it and leave to dry.

It certainly removes the amonnia smell from wet suits and the bad smell from boots. You may need to do it a couple of times if the boots are really bad.

It or something similar is used by quite a few places that hire wetsuits and the like.

would something like frabreze work? even though your boots aren't made from fabric it might have some sort of good effect.

there is also the classic half a can of lynx trick....when all else fails.

Bleach, and lots of it. 

One of my kids has awful smelly feet, we keep his boots outside.  But ocassional bleach / water soaks contain the problem.

A BNS style dustbin is surely a feature arriving in our back garden very soon!
