Urine smell in shoes?

Post by Power2U »

The other day I was on a really scary route and peed down my leg. (Some went in my shoe). Does anyone know how to get urine smell out of climbing shoes? I want to fix the problem before the weather gets warm. They are La Sportiva Cobras, if that helps. Thanks!

soak them in a pool... i always pee in pools and no one seems to smell it.
And on the third day, God created the Red River Gorge(by conjecture), and he saw that it was good.

I've done a lot of research and it seems that this is what most experts recommend.
