Poster: A snowHead
|
I bought some Head Ezon ski boots off ebay (I know, not ideal but they only cost £15.00!). The reason being that I have large calfs and wide feet and have never once found a pair that fits and is comfortable when I have hired them (in fact in Austria last year, I missed a day's skiing as my toes had been so cramped that I couldn't bend them - the hire shop guy kept telling me they were fine!!!). They're in nice nick and my plan is to put the money I have saved into a proper boot fitting and new foot mouldings. Ok, the problem I have is that they don't smell nice at all. I've donned the rubber gloves today and washed them out in very lukewarm water and am leaving them to dry upside down (wasn't sure whether I needed to stuff them with paper or not). I will then febreeze them to bits.
My question is, is there anything else I can do? I read that bicarb of soda (though not sure if it should be diluted and dabbed on) is good, but am reluctant to do it in case it affects the liners. Does anyone have any "granny always swore by .............." tips please?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I would have thought you leave the bicarbonate as powder. That's what we do in the fridge.

yeah, just throw a load in, as long as the boot is dry it'll just tip out again..

bug, didn't think of that; have just done a food shop Ok, my plan of action is to stuff them with newspaper, then when dry I'll sprinkle on bicarb then put in the freezer (when we've finished off the last packet of chips!).
