How To Deodorize NOBULL shoe

If we are being honest, sometimes our shoes start to stink! It is just the nature of feet, sweat, and small confined spaces. Here is how to deodorize your NOBULLS.

Option #1: Place a dryer sheet in each shoe and let them sit for 24 hours. Dryer sheets will absorb any liquid or odor that may be in the shoe. They also help mask the overall odor. For the best result, do this multiple times within a few day period to eliminate as much stench as possible.

Pro tip: leave dryer sheets in your shoes when you are not wearing them, it significantly cuts down on smelly shoes.

Option #2: Mix ¼ cup of baking powder, ¼ cup of baking powder, and ½ cup of cornstarch. Once the mixture is created, pour it into two cotton socks and place them in the shoes overnight. This will greatly improve the smell of your NOBULLS.
