Funky waders

**basinbeater** · 10-23-2009, 10:41 AM

So I pulled my waders off last night after fishing, and man, they got the FUNK! Not sure why they developed it, but when I pulled my feet out, they smelled like roquefort cheese. That is ok by me, but when I stuck my feet on the coffee table last night, my woman was like what;s that smell????? I blamed it on the dog, but I know it was my dogs. How should I get the funk out? Besides dancing in my waders of course.

There's sprays out on the market but the cheapest, effective method is to turn the waders inside out and wipe them down with rubbing alchohol. Then hang them outside in the sun. Next time, try wearing socks....

I will do the rubbing alcohol thing. I am not going to wear socks, I haven't for years, and the funk is a fresh phenomenon. Thanks for the tip.

oxiclean in the washing machine also works
turn 'em inside out to make sure the funky side gets the suds

You don't wear socks in your waders? I could never get away with that, my feet are way too sweaty.

What is the thought process behind not wearing socks in the neoprene booties? I figured thats just how it was done (with socks I mean).

I get blisters from my boots if I wear socks. Too tight. Fits just right without socks, and my feet never used to smell. This is a recent phenomenon as it has happened the last two times now, and that's it. But damn it stunk.

Oh yeah, 500 posts fuckers. Took me long enough.

Rubbing alcohol has worked for me. I use the same spray bottle of mild bleach solution as I use on the outside of my waders, most of the time and it helps. If you go that route, make sure to rinse thouroughly.
