    I spray my boots and some times it works. other times I spray them and they start to smell while I am in the woods. Don't know why the smell is coming out of them, but got busted a few times from them. They are older boots and didn't have this broblem before. What should I do or use to take the smell out?

    Hydrogen peroxide and baking soda mix. Mix into a paste, smear on outside of the boots and let them dry. Bang them together till the excess falls off and your good to go.
