Odor-Fighting Shoe Fresheners, Eliminates Unpleasant Smells, Perfect For Sneakers, Gym Bags, Gear Bags, Drawers, Lockers, And More!, Matrix, 2 Pack

I'm a runner, soccer player and an immediate level rock climber. With the amount of wear and tear I put on my various shoes, they can start to smell a little funky after awhile. Especially the climbing shoes. Bought a couple of these hoping to mask the odor a little. I was pleasantly surprised that it did that better than I thought. Now I don't believe, actually almost certain it doesn't kill the bacteria causing the odor but simply masks it. As others have noted they smell similar to dryer sheets but I don't think they are overbearing like others have noted. You can control the "smell output" by twisting the balls which in turn open little holes; releasing more or less smell.I liked this product because it was a cheap alternative to more expensive sprays or inserts. They fit perfectly into my shoes without any hassle. The designs and colors are actually pretty cool as well (note: mine are different colors than the ones in main picture.) Been using these for a couple months now in climbing, running, soccer and even work shoes without problems.I highly recommend these for people who wear shoes... :) Doesn't matter which kind. Everyone can benefit from them.P.S. If you are a climber, these are a MUST!

Came exactly as described - mine came in as a blue and black ball not a red/brown color as in the photo. Not bothered by it - just happy they came in on time.

English: Worry no more! These little balls are life savers. I go to the gym at work so i have to bring my actual work clothes in the same bag where i end up putting my dirty gym clothes. Even though i place my dirty gym clothes in a plastic bag, after a while the smell will start sitting in. I bought these odor balls and just dropped one in my bag, it has completely taken care of any other smell. The odor itself is strong, very old school soapy strong. I wouldnt say that i love the smell but definitely prefer it because it does smell clean. The packaging allows you to use one and keep the other sealed and so far it looks like these go for a good bit, i purchased a month ago and the one ball i used is still going strong.Spanish:No te preocupes más! Estas bolitas te van a salvar la vida. Voy al gimnasio en el trabajo, así que tengo que llevar mi ropa de trabajo en la misma bolsa donde pongo mi ropa de gimnasio sucia. A pesar de que pongo mi ropa de gimnasio sucia en una bolsa de plástico, después de un tiempo el olor empieza a salirse. Compré estas bolas de olor y puse una en mi bolsa, se ha encargado de eliminar cualquier otro olor. El olor de por si es fuerte y huele a jabón. No diria que me encanta el olor, pero sin duda lo prefiero porque huele limpio. El envase permite el uso de una bola y mantener la otra cerrada. Hasta ahora parece que van a durar por mucho tiempo, las compre hace un mes y solo use una bola que todavía huele fuerte.

Takes the sweaty feet smell right out of my husbands work boots

Helps to keep the shoes without smell

I ordered these for my figure skates, but I was not able to use them for more than a couple days. The fragrance is so strong it is overpowering. After a while, I could smell it across the room. I have allergies and am very sensitive to fragrances, so that didn't work for me. However, they definitely work as advertised in terms of reducing/masking the shoe odor. So if you are not sensitive to fragrances, these may be just great for you.

Ordered these for my work shoes, I worked in a warehouse and my feet would tend to sweat a good bit during the summer days. The smell wasnt the best, but these balls cleared it up before the start of the next work day.

Shoe deodorants. They work for my sons stinky shoes.
