I went out squirrel hunting last weekend and after I took 150# of corn on foot, 3 trips with a bag over my shoulder. Well.... Now my boots reek. I should have changed outta them. They're sitting outside now but I figured I'd let em dry maybe spray em and definitely smoke em.

Anything else I could do?
 
dump baking soda in them

Yup! May want to wash them down in a good baking soda/scent free laundry soap mixture and let dry outside upside down. Anyone with stinky feet should have boxes of baking soda to dump in their boots after wearing, slosh it around and dump out.
 
Alright so as far as washing them do you mean in a bowl mix up baking soda and water and scent free detergent and scrub the crap outta the insides of them? Or soak them? Or put em in the washer? Can they even go in the washer, I don't know lol
 
I would make up a mixture of soap, baking soda and dump it right in there. Let them soak a day or two and then pack as many newspapers in them as you can stuff in there. The newspaper works wonders drying them plus it will also absorb any left over smell there might be.
 
Cedar Shavings. You can pick them up from TSC or just about anywhere in the pet section. Put some in an old sock and stuff the sock in the boot. Leave it in there until the next time you need the boots.
