I’m not afflicted with smelly feet but after a days riding my socks do get a bit pongy.
Forma Adventure boots for the record.
What have other riders used, spray or insoles, to alleviate the problem.
Yes I do take 3 pairs of socks and change them daily.

Re: Stinky boots/socks
Yeah merino socks are great. Also I try and spend a few hours every day barefoot to give my feet a chance to recover from wearing great big boot with no air circulation.
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

Re: Stinky boots/socks
I wear Bridgedale coolmax liner socks and Bridgedale Hike or Expedition socks over the top depending on conditions.
I had trouble with sweaty cold feet before I came upon this winning combination.
If you're travelling light you can have one pair of 'outer' socks last you a week without honking and two pairs of liners to rotate daily. The liners dry literally in about two hours after been washed just sat in a house, drying times out on a line or hung on your handlebars are less than 30 mins.
I was a firm 'no to man made fibres' man, but these merino and polyester mix socks work perfect for me.

As above Merino all day long. You can also use a helmet interior sanitiser to spray inside the boot to freshen them up. The best one I’ve used is the Motul helmet interior sanitiser and cleaner. Always best to keep your Helmet Clean!
