For my Boot Banana review, I decided to dig through my collection of climbing shoes to find the worst-smelling pair of shoes I own. Designed to banish the stink of rock shoes, Boot Bananas are made of naturally deodorising salts and minerals.

Unlike other shoe deodorizers, Boot Bananas were created especially to fight the funk of climbing shoes.Please Note: Shipments sent to the European Union are sold exclusive of VAT and may be subject to local import duties and taxes. The cotton fabric used has the porosity to absorb moisture but if your shoes are really sweaty you can shake your bananas to release a fine mist of powder to speed up the drying process. Billy asked for a pair of size nine bananasThese boots were designed and made for Billy Connolly by the Glasgow pop artist, Edmund Smith, in 1975. After seven days I would, reluctantly, re-smell both pairs of shoes and see how much change, if any, occurred.

Celebrating the Glasgow legend Billy Connolly and those famous Banana Boots, which you can check out in the People's Palace. He performed on stage with his banjo and ad-libbed Glasgow patter as an amateur and then was a founder member of the folk group the Humblebums. They are also great for running shoes, gym bags or even hung in your car or wardrobe to eliminate odours. I've started taking a piece of newspaper per shoe, loosly gathering it lengthways, fold in half and put in the shoe.Boot Bananas are made from naturally absorbent salts, minerals and plant extracts with lavender, lemon, patchouli and tea-tree essential oils all wrapped in a 100% cotton banana skin. Whether you're just getting started or an experienced climber, whatever your adventure needs, we have the gear. Boot Bananas contain moisture-absorbent minerals and essential oils which will freshen up climbing shoes, running shoes or any other 'fruity' footwear. Designed with rock climbers in mind, the banana shape slides perfectly into the curve of your rock boots for maximum surface area absorption.

Fragrant and moisture-absorbing shoe deodorisers for climbing boots, running shoes or any other “fruity” footwear. In honesty, I was half expecting the lavender to just mask the odor rather than eliminate it but this doesn’t seem to be the case. Boot Bananas absorb moisture from whiffy footwear, making them perfect to shove in your climbing shoes after a sweaty session. As your Boot Bananas soak up moisture they will slowly ripen, changing colour and indicating when to replace them. From time to time carriers may deliver earlier or later, or on non working days however this is cannot be guaranteed nor should it be expected.After attempting anything and everything to deodorise Phil's climbing shoes, they jumped the gun and fought the funk themselves. Boot Bananas keep footwear dry and fresh using moisture-absorbent minerals and fragrant essential oils with anti-bacterial properties.

The perfect shape to slide into your shoes, Boot Bananas also disperse a little of the fine deodorising powder into your footwear making it inhospitable for bacteria and odours. ly\/public\/asset\/export\/58f77f70bde29903e7904263\/1e3f083b\/5b0ecb9b820ce2651a0005d9\/f9803933\/266071900.
