• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I have used laundry detergent, dish soap, bleach mix and still cant get smell out after a race. Prior to race smells decent but after smells rotting. I usually wash inside with hose and fan dry for 24 hrs. To no avail. Any help??
 
I really hate to admit this but Norwex makes an odor eliminator that works really well. Awesome in the truck too
 
I had a set of Alpinestars one time, that smelled almost like cat pee after they got thoroughly submersed in a really nasty mud bog. I finally soaked them overnight in a bucket of bleach water, rinsed them and soaked them again overnight in a bucket of water mixed with baking soda. That seemed to work for that pretty well.
 
Just read and interesting tip in and outdoor magazine.
Said to use a 50lb bag of seed corn and totally immerse boots in it (filling up the boot as well) for 24 hours.
No idea if it works or not but sounds east enough to try out assuming you can find corn.
 
I've given up on this matter haha they are always going to smell slightly off. Mine don't smell horrid but they are a little smelly. I put a little foot powder in here and there and wash occasionally. I can't smell them when they are on my foot pegs where they belong so to hell with it

Hard to believe you living in NC would have trouble finding corn! =)
 
Charlotte = suburbanites galore!

I am one of the few here actually from Charlotte, I would guess that 2/3 of the populace are relocated Northerners (Ohio, Michigan, etc).
 
Seed corn has a fungicide coating to prevent germination/seed related fungal diseases. It has a very dry moisture content and will also absorb all the moisture. I couldn't tell you if you are going to get a benefit from the anti-fungal activity as I have no idea if the fungal types are similar enough to have cross efficacy. Will probably have no anti-bacterial function other than the dryness. When it comes to fungal diseases the golf course guys are probably as knowledgeable as anyone. Fact: there is far more we don't know than what we do know about this very important organism class both beneficial and antagonistic.

Use a boot drier after you ride and put Vicks vapor rub on your feet before you put your socks on.

I second the boot drier. Once you own one, boots and shoes will never be the same. One of the greatest inventions ever. Mines pushing 10 years old and still working strong. Get some charcoal insoles too.

Alpinstar Tech 3's stink- really. The Pete Boot Drying and lots of Gold Bond foot powder help, but I needed an excuse to get some good Italian made Garne boots. Wish I'd got them to begin with- my past experience with Hi-Point Alpinstars made me bias to the brand. Unbeknownst to me, the Tech 3's are actually made in China: not nearly as good a boot as the Italian made Garne. Even the lower end G-React that I have are great compared to the Alpinstars.
