The liners from my full tilts fucking reek. It's unbearable. No joke how much they stink. I bought the oder fighting spray, but it doesnt work. What the fuck do I do?

I dunno if you can get it all over the world but I swear by this stuff called Gran's Remedy. It's kinda like talcum powder, you throw a bunch in your liners and shake it up and it kills off all the nasty bacterial shit that makes your boots stink.

Otherwise... just make sure you dry them REALLY well. Try your local shoe shop. But it may also be that you have some nasty shit going on foot-wise - do your normal shoes stink it up too?

Last of all... what kind of socks are you wearing? A good pair of proper wool socks (Merino for the win...) go a long way too.

if you piss inside the boot it will neutralize the odor.

I've heard putting them in the freezer kills everything, make sure to double back em, but I've never tried this


Do you pull the liners out to dry after every day?

Is it just me, or is it a bitch to take out and put back in liners?

out is easy
when going back in, pinch the back just above the heel area, like where your the base of Achilles is and it helps

never heard of this if you just clip in with the liner into your binding and through a double backflip the odor should be gone in 4 to 5 weeks

Oh ok. Thanks man.

No, I don't. My feet/legs always sweat when I ski.

Dude seriously, do these things: 1) take baking soda and fill an old long sock with it and tie the end off, put it in your boots after each day, as well as removing the liners and putting them near a heat vent. 2) before you ski have a shower and wash your feet with soap and water, and a scrubbie brush or similar 3) wear fresh clean laundered ski socks before each session 4) use wool-content ski socks like Smartwool, not cotton or acrylic socks. If you do all these simple easy things I GUARANTEE the smell will go away (mostly or altogether).

Do this everyday and they never smell the next day, just stuff it with newspaper, you may have to replace newspaper if it gets pretty wet but it works perfectly
