Hi all,
I bought a new pair of Salomon COMET 3D GTX about 2 years ago. This is my third Salomon of very similar style and I can highly recommend them.
Anyway, a few months after wearing them I went on a hike where it rained for several day and my new boots now have a special stink to them every time I wear them. You know, that smell that you get when you leave clothes wet for a while in the heat - only a lot more memorable. My regular shoes don't smell, my feet a clean. It's just the history behind this pair of boots that has started it off.
I'd like to restore my boots for an upcoming trip. I don't want to be the most unpopular person in the cabin (note to evil self: if I leave them as is I might just have the cabin all to myself)
What you recommended tips for removing any bacteria or potentially fungi from the boots that are causing the malodour?
I'm thinking an overnight soak in Canasten or similar.
