I have the same problem with my shin pads for hockey. They stink bad, but i guess i could wash them if i wanted. Try baby power, just dump some on there.

I had the same problem. I just put them in the washing machine (the liners) on cold and the gentlest cycle. It helped alot. You have to leave them out to air dry for a good 2 days. Mine still smell a little.....2 washes might be neccessary if the smell is raging out of hand. Good luck bro, I know how you feel.

^you could try that, but put a bunch of baking soda in the wash with it. it will take the odor out of the liners.

either that our you could just try dumping the baking soda in the boots when they are dry and airing them a while. that should help if you dont want to take a chance of getting them wet.

I was thinking of throwing my liners in the wash today, and reading this thread just backs that decision up.

i would say that it def depends on the liner and you are taking the risk of ruining your boots

The worst is my friend wore his good boots when he did a pond skim thing at Mount SNow. They reaked for months.
