How do you booty-wearing folks deal with bad booty stink? I have the stinkiest booties- ripcurl flashbombs. They are warm, and work pretty good, considering they are 2 years old. But man, catching an unsuspecting whiff of just one stinky booty makes me dryheave a little. Do all booties smell like this? Is it the woolyness of the flashbomb material? Anyone have the same experience? I've gone through many bootys over the years, and I hate to say I'm stuck with some stinky booty right now.
I thought this was a tread about sloppy wipers... I'm disappointed... Try spraying the inside with some rubbing alcohol. It kills the bacteria. Works good on my vibrams and sanuks. I just try to get my booties dry ASAP. they still get the funk once in a while though.
Mirazyme - cheap & effective http://www.amazon.com/Essentials-Mi...id=1421258637&sr=8-1&keywords=mcnett+mirazyme The only downfall is that the stink comes back within a few sessions, particularly if you're not drying your gear after sessions. I picked up a cheap snowboard/ski boot dryer and set my boots/gloves on it after sessions. (A box fan also works)
Come on deal with it! Your supposed to be proud of your stinky booties, or you can try some Old Spice… [video=youtube;Hq2SlCja3zo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq2SlCja3zo[/video]
My secret, which isn't much of a secret, is the old arm and hammer baking soda. For my suit I pull it inside out and apply a liberal coating. Let it re-dry, and then hit it with warm fresh water. For my booties (which I confess also tend to have a foul odor) I do the same, but after they dry I have a little paper towel 'ball' of it secured with a bread bag twisty and I drop one in each bootie and let it sit until I surf again. The suit and boots stay fresh.
Back in the day I hid my reefer in mine and got searched, when that smell hit the cop he was like oh my god what is that! I said its my wetsuite booties. He was like you wear that when it smells like that? I was like yup. He just dropped the search and let me go.
i buy the dollar store mouthwash and put a little in the boots and gloves then rinse them out well, every time . works pretty good .
If your yoo cheap to buy the wetsuit shampoo- mouthwash is a great alternitive - just mix in water when rinsing out. I have also been know to directly spray air freshener on them - works for a day or so... Ha
