Due to the state of my climbing shoes, I have not been able to do anything before or after climbing, because having my bag on me with my climbing shoes in smelled so repulsive I didn't want to put anyone through the trauma of being in a 5 metre radius of me. The level of guilt I feel when someone sits next to me on the bus is unreal.
Then I overheard a conversation in the bouldering room, person one said that they always wear socks with their climbing shoes so they don't get too fragrant, person two mentioned boot bananas as a solution.
Seeing as its quite inconvenient for me to never be anywhere public for too long with climbing shoes in tow (and downright embarrassing), the boot bananas are now mine.
This is not an immediate fix
The smell that replaces the sweaty climbing shoe smell is still quite pungent but a different kind of pungent, very lavender-y if that's your bag.
Literally anything that will allow me to walk in public not smelling like the bouldering room on competition day is a winner for me.
