Buff Original Shoe Deodorisers

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Boot Bananas, banana-shaped shoe deodorisers, keep hiking shoes fresh longer with natural ingredients.

Boot Bananas says: 

Bursting with Freshness –  A blend of odour-neutralising salts, minerals and the finest botanicals. With a fresh fragrance of Lavender, Lemon, Patchouli & Tea-tree. Designed to remove and prevent extreme and ingrained odours found in sports shoes and boots.

As Nature Intended – The perfect shape to slide into any footwear, gloves, pads, or enclosed spaces. Cotton fabric banana ‘skins’, with earth friendly active ingredients and real plant extracts. Minimal plastic by design.

Ripeness Indicator – These Boot Bananas gradually ‘ripen’ with moisture exposure. When they turn completely brown or stop deodorising, it’s time to replace them. Approximately 6 -12 months of freshness, depending on use and care.

Banana Care – Dry your Boot Bananas out in the sun – or near a radiator – and avoid excessive moisture exposure, which may shorten lifespan. Only intended for removing odour and sweat. Not for drying wet footwear.

Recycle Me – Take this packaging to supermarkets or retailers with a collection point for flexible plastic packaging and carrier bags.

Our Verdict

Boot Bananas Original Shoe deodorisers offer a fresh take on combating stubborn footwear odours. These cleverly designed banana-shaped deodorisers keep hiking, climbing, and running shoes smelling better for longer. Packed with natural ingredients, including bamboo charcoal and essential oils, Boot Bananas aims to neutralise even the most pungent odours that can develop after long treks.

The product’s eco-friendly approach is evident in its minimal plastic design and use of cotton fabric ‘skins’. The Boot Bananas include a visual “ripeness” indicator that shows users when it’s time for a replacement—typically after 6-12 months of use.

While Boot Bananas excel at odour control, it’s worth noting they’re not designed for drying wet footwear and are pretty heavy, so they are not something you would bring on the trail with you, something you would leave in the car or at home.
