Boot Bananas, Shoe Deodourisers. Originally designed to rid the world/your kit bag, of the over powering stench that emanates from your climbing shoes. Packed full of moisture-absorbent minerals and lovely fragrant essential oils that possess antibacterial properties, these guys will suck up the sweat and kill the bacteria that causes odours. They are also great at drying out and de-funk; wet boots, running shoes and any other smelly bits of footwear. These Bananas are stuffed with naturally absorbent bamboo charcoal, sodium bicarbonate and zeolite. Which is doused with lavender, lemon, patchouli and tea-tree essential oils. All nicely packaged into 100% cotton banana shaped sleeves. Not only do they look like bananas, they act like them too. Over time the Boot Bananas will start to ripen (change colour), when they are fully saturated the bananas will turn brown just like the real thing. this takes about 6 mouths of good use. To prolong the life of your Boot Bananas allow them to dry in the sun or next to a radiator before storing back in the re-sealable bag. Do not store damp......it wont be pretty.

Combining technical features with a soft cushioned heel, the Force X feels fantastic on and inspires confidence on technical routes both indoors and outside. The Velcro straps are connected to the toe and heel are using the V-Tension system inherited from the more technical Scarpa rock shoes. V-Tension gives a more precise fit and directs more power to the toe area without crippling your feet. Vibram XS Edge compound soles provide maximum edging friction and support by improving the firmness of the compound around the edge of the sole. Thanks to improved resistance to distortion the sole edges will keep their crispness and retain their shape even after hours of hard use. Smearing on the centre of the sole is not compromised, making the Force X a true all round performer.
