Boot Bananas Original Shoe Deodorisers – Banana-Shaped Fresheners to Fight Footwear Funk – Eco-Friendly, Reusable Odour Fighters for Trainers, Boots & Smelly Kit – Combat Stink & Stay Fresh 6-12 mo

Absolutely love these odour aiders. They are cute and so fun and do the job at hand. We use them in all of our sports shoes and especially for PE shoes that our kids use extensively at school. The design is easy on the eye and they keep their shape and odour eating properties well. My son has become accustomed to using these and I keep buying more. Excellent product which is expensive but worth the money.

​I have a friend who uses these for her climbing shoes, and after seeing how well they worked for her, I just had to get some. Straight out of the pack, they smell amazing - a really fresh, natural scent that is a huge relief for my sensory sensitivities. I put them into my La Sportiva Tarantula boulder climbing shoes immediately, they freshened them up perfectly with their natural ingredients and fit really snug inside. I actually used the carabiner provided to clip through the loops of my shoes too to keep them all together! Which is a really cool trick i discovered and is defo worth doing so they dont slip out - its probably what its for but i feel very smart for finding it out on my own! Lol! ​The texture is worth mentioning too. They have a bead-like material inside that feels really cool and satisfying to touch, and the outside cotton skin is surprisingly soft. As someone who is neurodivergent and deals with high anxiety, these small tactile details make the product feel like more than just a deodoriser; it’s actually quite calming to handle while I'm prepping my gear. ​My friend has had this exact brand for four months, and even with us climbing 3 times a week for 2-3 hours a session, her shoes still smell fresh so i know just how durable and effective they are. For just under £15, knowing they will last that long makes them amazing value for money. If you're a frequent climber who cares about sensory details and keeping gear fresh, these are a must-have.

Works well. Good scents too

These have a nice lemony smell which smells natural. My daughter is very sporty and her trainers needed these. I can no longer smell the trainers when these are in them so they must be doing their job. Quality seems good as does value for money. They seem to be effective.

Brilliant, smell great, work perfectly, great value

** Update **. Seller kindly sent replacement product, informing that there has been issues with a single batch of these. Happy to report the replacements worked perfectly and no signs of deterioration after a few uses - very happy. We’ve been struggling with the stench of our sons various boots for a number of seasons and have tried multiple ways to freshen them up with no real success. After seeing this on Amazon, thought we’d give them a go. Good news is - they really helped with the smell and although not completely gone, they’re definetly smelling a lot fresher and not causing the whole family to wretch whenever son opens his boot bag. The not so good news - after 2 hours in my sons boots, both bananas have now started to turn with brown dots appearing over them. Boots were slightly damp, but not overly wet when used so a bit disappointed as don’t see how these are now going to last the time claimed in the advertising. Overall, a great idea and seems as though they are effective at addressing the smell issue. However, if they need to replaced this often then it’s going to come very costly.

Good. I had a few days off from work so I put the boot bananas in my work boots for 4 days straight, where they worked hard to very slowly neutralize an old, disgusting smell. I am a bit worried that the bananas have become discoloured after a single use, perhaps I got a bad batch? Overall recommended. UPDATE 2 WEEKS ON: Mold has grown on the bananas and they have become even more discoloured. I genuinely cannot imagine these lasting 2 months, much less the advertised 6 to 12 months. Not recommended at their current price point. If the price was halved, say £7, then they would be worth it. Not so at close to £17. UPDATE 3 WEEKS ON: I received a message from the seller explaining the item and its intended use and have realized I wasn't using the bananas as intended - If used in sweaty work boots, they're meant to be used in conjunction with their boot dryers, to avoid the bananas being oversaturated by sweat. Review moved to 5 stars due to attentiveness and professionalism of seller.

Definitely dampening down the smell in my trainers.

bästa alternativet för sonens fotbollsskor! drar ur fukt och doftar lavendel. Rekommenderar starkt!

Not as good as I thought. It smells pretty weird and it tends to get the bad smell of the shoes and hold it as well, creating a nasty overall smell. It didn’t do much for my shoes…

Sinds één week in gebruik, klimschoenen ruiken nu heel fris. Hopelijk gaan ze een tijdje mee, deze boot bananas!

Wirkt zuverlässig gegen Geruch. Lustige Bananenform ist praktisch. Schuhe bleiben frisch.

These Boot Bananas shoe deodorizers actually work. I pop them in my boots or sneakers after a long day, and by the next morning the smell is gone — not just covered up, but genuinely neutralized. They’re easy to use, last a long time, and don’t leave any weird residue or scent. Perfect for gym shoes, work boots, or anything that gets funky. Definitely worth it.
