frapcap 94 Posted Thursday at 01:13 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 01:13 PM Nooo, its not the name of a company- but it should be. My ski boots and socks fucking STINK after a day of skiing. Do any of you have any good tips for quelling the smell without degrading the material? Ive got new socks and the boots aren't even that old. Maybe 2 years? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And they make spray for sneakers, think its called refresh ! that will help the boots recover from where they are now ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fcksummer 268 Posted Thursday at 03:42 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:42 PM Once that funk gets in the boot its pretty tough to get rid of. Have you tried new footbeds? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StraightSkis 7 Posted Thursday at 08:39 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:39 PM Try pulling the liners out and giving them a good scrub on the inside with soap and a little water. You need to kill the bacteria in there. Also consider skiing with no socks. It sounds like your feet are sweating in the boots. No socks will help. I ski with no socks and put some baby powder in the liner before sliding my foot inside. My feet are warmer now because I don't sweat and the sweat doesn't cool down during breaks/lift rides. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frapcap 94 Posted Friday at 03:58 PM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 03:58 PM Funny y'all suggest barefoot. My socks are so thin that I might as well be. Haven't tried the baby powder option, but will employ that the next time I ski. I will yank the liners and hit them with soap and water. I was just concerned that anything I used as a cleaning agent might adversely affect the materials. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ABV 154 Posted Friday at 05:57 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 05:57 PM The Pit spray will def keep your feet from sweating ! and Id use that refresh shit on the liners with new insoles ! Come on it will probably shave off a couple of seconds on your time at Mac ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Forgot to mention that it will create a different smell issue (I don't care for baby powder smell). Baby powder is just for lubricating your foot so it can slide into the liner and also protects during the day against blisters. If your socks are basically panty hose then barefoot probably won't solve your issue. If you have "thin" socks, then it may because it did for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
