Freezing temps will help get rid of the stank

1/6/2014 7:46:06 PM

What about a freezer for the other 364 days?

1/6/2014 8:48:37 PM

the freezer doesn't get as cold (on typical setting) as the air will tonight does it?

1/6/2014 8:54:13 PM

Yeah

1/6/2014 8:54:27 PM

Also, you don't wanna stank up all your frozen food.

1/6/2014 9:16:33 PM

spray with vodka
put in plastic bag
put in freezer
then occasionally respray with vodka on occasion and after long days

(rubbing alcohol works, but vodka smells less)

1/6/2014 9:18:37 PM

Fucking savages and your smelly ass shoes. Apologies for my naivety.

1/6/2014 9:21:24 PM

I like the smell of my hair treatment sperrys. A pleasin' odor's half the point.

Hey Bros! Boatshoe Bobby here. I've been drinking gimlets in Nantucket all summer, asking all the blondes on the island the most enduring question of our time: What rhymes with hug me? The results have been baffling: It's almost like these Sigma Kappas have never had anyone ask them to touch their elbows behind their backs back in the day. But now that Labor Day is over, I'm back from that little Gray Lady of the Sea, grinding in the 9-to-5 as a paralegal at my dad's law firm. You know what that means, right? Guilt-free dicking off on his company's dime, bitching in the BroBible comment section about the lack of NSFW pics, and not giving a damn about job security. That's something middle managers with state school educations care about.

Today I'm here to talk about an epidemic that's running rampant in Bro culture, one that might be considerably worse than "The Great Whiskey Dick Plague of '10": Repugnant boat shoe odor. It's the equivlant of swamp-ass for the feet. Sperry Stink is truly a modern Bro dilemma, with many-a chaying Bro being rejected by the hottest biddies in the land thanks to the stench of their feet. After a summer of hard livin' in those Sperrys, September is the month a Bro's boat shoes tend to get the most putrid. They've been collecting spilt beer and ballpark urinal afterflow for months, so who knows what kind of foot-gonorrhea is growing between the laces down there. To keep your Sperrys looking and smelling fresh, here are 17 super-clutch lifehacks to eliminate the dreaded Sperry Stink. All credit goes to Reddit's very few frat stars.

Chay on:

"Take out the sole and replace it with something that isn't leather. I've used Dr. Scholls in the past and it worked fairly well." -- jlw525

"Get a couple pairs and rotate. Just letting them dry for a full 24 hours does wonders. This goes for dress shoes as well." -- cowboyhaze

"Dryer sheets over night. Works like a charm." -- DustyGoDucks

"Freeze them. Apparently it kills the bacteria causing the odor. I've tried it and it works for a while but the smell will come back eventually." -- reekomds

"Gold bond foot powder, works like a charm. Also, don't be afraid to wear socks with them. Mainly when you're wearing long pants cause shorts, socks and sperrys will kind of make you look like an asshole" -- 369DAMNyoFINE

"Shin-high Socks with sperrys is pretty fucking popular in Charleston. Still trying to figure out why. Also, I wear loafer socks with my sperrys. It's a good way to go if you don't scrub your feet well enough or just have smelly ass feet" -- FLHCv2

"I put these odor eater things in them. They're insoles and kill all odor, including keeping your feet fresh." -- nofatchicksever

Y'all know you can get a can of Odor Eaters for like $7 right?
I don't even have foot stank and I own one.
I'm just sayin'

1/6/2014 9:47:28 PM

I'm half tempted to do this with my vibrams that smell like a bag of assholes if I was convinced it worked.

It's -2 here right now and probably colder with wind chill

1/6/2014 9:52:40 PM

Do homeless people smell better today if they stayed out last night?
This crossed my mind at 3:00 a.m. when I was having trouble sleeping. Thanks T-Dub.

1/7/2014 3:42:17 PM

They probably died, so no.

1/7/2014 4:04:28 PM

^well they are probably still frozen which will have preserved them from rotting to a large extent, so they might still smell better.

1/7/2014 4:07:04 PM

I had to google Sprerrys. I initially assumed it was some kind of reference to the Mary Jane Rotten Crotch.

1/7/2014 4:28:05 PM

I heard bed bugs don't like the cold. Put that stank mattress in the front lawn tonight.

what's the risk? you wake up in the morning and your shoes are cold. either it worked or it didn't

1/7/2014 4:34:23 PM

I was thinking theft.

1/7/2014 4:36:08 PM

it's probably a small market of thieves out looking for dank smelling women's sized toe shoes.

1/7/2014 5:00:41 PM

A small, but very dedicated, market.

1/7/2014 8:17:29 PM

my shoes fresh today

1/7/2014 8:48:03 PM

My room is the third floor of my house, and I had done about 200 squats the hour prior and was melted into my bed at the time. Would've needed something really big to get me downstairs. Like wings or back tickles.

1/7/2014 11:27:50 PM

oh shit i'm going to put my sperrys outside tonight

1/7/2014 11:41:33 PM

How does cold air get rid of the stank?

1/8/2014 12:00:19 PM

cold kills the bacteria

1/8/2014 12:02:01 PM

yeah i have a buddy that stores his hats in the freezer from time to time.

1/8/2014 12:17:01 PM

it didn't work

1/8/2014 12:44:28 PM

Freezing doesn't kill bacteria, afaik.

1/8/2014 1:09:54 PM

Fareako put his Vibrams outside. They smell significantly less godawful, but that could just be from getting aired out more than they usually do.

1/8/2014 1:11:12 PM

I just microwave mine like I do with sponges.



not really tho.

Put my minimus shoes out last night.


Didn't work. Still stink. Will just need to buy new ones this weekend.

1/8/2014 2:16:27 PM

these socks are great for sperrys



don't see them; shoes don't stink. problem solved.

google "no show socks" or "liner socks"

1/9/2014 2:02:02 AM

I eat frozen chicken cause the cold kills the e. coli
