Reply to comment by cykovisuals in My wife was begging me to buy new boots today since my LL Bean Katahdins are like 13 years old so instead I bought some leather oil and new laces for the first time! by Morphabond

Just freeze them for a few days. Kills the bacteria and so the smell

The thing that smells is the stuff bacteria eat and poop so to say. Anything that kills bacteria will help. So alcohol as well as heat. Freezing temps will also do that
