Boot BananasOriginal Shoe Deodoriser | Long-Lasting, Reusable Sports Shoe Deodorizer Odour Neutralizer & Air Purifier | Eco-Conscious | Lasts 6 to 12 Months | 1 Pair

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.

I love my shoe bananas! 🍌 Have a pair of suede leather mules I wear to work but they smell REALLY bad! After just one day of having the bananas in them, they’re smelling better already! And they feel drier too 😃👍

Update to original review,The seller reached out and provided a replacement which has been considerably better and is still in new condition after over a week of use everyday.Old reviewI don’t know if I have received a defective unit perhaps but these have barely been used and now they are very off. When I first used them they did seem to work well but less than two weeks and already wearing out is not great considering the fairly high price.

My nose is happy now

Great item. My climbing shoes went from very stinky to smelling fresh

** 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.

They worked only for 2 weeks and sadly my tennis shoes don't smell nice and fresh anymore.New feedback:Changing to 4 stars because customer service was helpful and resolved the problem fast
