I need an outdoor box for smelly boots.

We don't have a big hall or porch, or utility room.

My son's football and rugby boots stink!

I want somewhere to keep them outside. Maybe in one of those parcel boxes.

Will this work?

Something like this?

Yes. Exactly that. It looks great, and a lot less plasticky than some of the others I've seen.

Wheely bin? Smile

Buy him something to use to stop his boots stinking?

It's winter. They come home wet and muddy. There is nothing to quell the stench

@fruitstick I hear you! I spent a whole day last week sniffing the air in my son's room. I thought a cat had got in and wee'd!! It was so strong.

I have dried out his rugby boots (no change in smell-the sod had flung them in his boot bag wet and then left them in a cupboard!) and washed his boot bag in vanish. They still smell so are now only allowed in the garage.

We've got 2 upside down metal boot racks that you hang shoes/boots on outside so that they air and dry. You can attach them to the wall if you're short on space? It's a god send for wellies and walking boots.

@Woollymonster
Could I jump in here to ask if you have any recommendations? I need to sort out the same problem as OP

This is our saviour for smelly football boots. A boot dryer 🥰.

DS16 loves it especially when he's refereed matches during college time and need them at the weekend.

It's stored in the garage, 20 mins and they are done.
