fix your stinky shoes
August 20th, 2010
EverBamboo is a Calgary company helping to rid climbers of an age old dilemma: “How do you keep your shoes from scaring off your climbing partners?”
Below is a testimonial from one of our staff, judged to have the smelliest shoes in the staff room:
My shoes were voted among the stinkiest at the gym, hands down. Everyone knew when I had finished a climbing session because of the awful stench coming from the staff room. Hence why I was given the EverBamboo shoe deodorizers to try out. I noticed a difference almost immediately. Not only were my shoes less stinky AFTER climbing, but they also dried out a lot faster. A great thing since I climb so often, and would always be sliding my foot into a slightly slimy shoe.
I use them every time after I’m done climbing now, and it makes a huge difference. I can even throw my shoes right into my bag after climbing, without having to worry about airing them out, because the bamboo inserts do it for me. And there is definitely next to no smell. Especially compared to what it used to be. Besides making the shoe itself stink less, I notice that my feet don’t even smell as bad after climbing anymore!
I would highly recommend this product for sure, regardless of whether your shoes are the stinkiest around or not. And since they’re rechargeable, it’s a very worthwhile investment. Plus less stink is definitely a benefit if you spend any time in public around non-climbers.
