Magic Crystals for Smelly Skates

Since I have got my custom boots, I have been skating sockless and enjoying it very much. The fit of custom boots is so great that I found that wearing socks was interfering with it. However, the sockless fashion brings one unpleasant culprit - odor. Unfortunately, with a lot of hours of skating, the smell coming out from the inside of my boots could easily kill a small animal... I needed a solution. Luckily, Eddy Matzger has published this tip of the week on Inline Planet in the beggining of the year: http://www.inlineplanet.com/2007a-tips/01/2/teatime.html

I tried it.... And, although working, this method just was not strong enough to pentrate the odor that has been developing for months. After searching for a little longer, I have found that another filler makes this method working better. I used Purina's Tidy Cats Crystals litter (http://www.tidycats.com/getpage.aspx?pageid=64) and it worked serious magic for me. The odor has been almost completely eliminated and I think, I may even be allowed on airplanes without wrapping my skates into plastic bags now.

Hopefully, this might help somebody else solve their problem too.
