Ive tried everything to clean them, but the baking soda. Looks like I have a cleaning project at work for the next two days.

once my boots are dry, I just throw some baking soda in each boot...no particular amount, but plenty. I just shake it out, before I repack my gear.

Hah! Mine were that bad earlier this year. The only way I could get the smell out was to replace the inner bootie.

bought a commercial boot dryer last week for MX boots, ski boots, snowboard boots, hiking boots, etc prob a good investment for $45.00 ... wish I would have heard about the shop vac idea before LOL

I just let mine dry naturally.
Never had a problem really....

Have you tried washing them with plain water and letting them dry naturally?
Maybe it's the cleaning powder/detergent your using.

Just a thought
