Smelly boots! What to do?

My ski boots are quite new, but they already have that 'lovely' ski boot pong. I will admit I have sweaty feet, but I change socks every day. I don't though put the boots on warmers as I have moulds which I was told will get melted and move if I use these. I give my boots a good airing when I get back, but they def have the boot wiff.

Please give me your top tips for fresh smelling boots.

I always add mine on boot warmers so they dry quick and have moulded insoles

Oh really? That's good to know. I think it's the damp that makes them smell more than anything.

Well the people in Ellis Brigham a few years ago said it was fine. And mine seem to be moulded the same as when done so no affects so far

Also, what socks do you wear? Cost a small fortune but the smartwool merino ski socks are fantastic and even sweaty feet should leave them not smelly socks by the end of the day.

Hmm, I'm a bit tight fisted on the socks... I shrink them if they're wool! Time to clean up my act Grin
