Deodorizer Sneaker Dryers

The StinkBOSS is an Antibacterial Device for Cleaning Sport Footwear

— January 13, 2016 — Fashion
The StinkBOSS is a handy device for athletes seeking a solution to constantly smelly sport footwear. The device is an antibacterial dryer that works to clean, refreshen and deodorize shoes so that they are fresh and nice smelling for the next time they are worn.

Smelly shoes can create an unwelcoming environment in a home as the footwear is left out in the open, and the smell of sweat can circulate throughout the space. The device is essentially an incubator of sorts that the sneakers can be placed inside. The device removes odor from shoes as well as other sports gear using heat to sterilize the products. The items can be left inside from 90 minutes to nine hours depending on how much odor needs to be removed. Once finished, the shoes can be worn again without the fear of stink.
