What can I use to get the bad smell out of army surplus store boots ?
Question
The boots are leather, standard NATO issue.
Answer
Sprinkle some bicarbonate of soda into the boots and leave it for a day or two epending on how bad the smell is. The Bicarb will absorb the odour so throw it out and then use a shoe freshner that you can buy at local shoe stores if you want it to smell really good....
