Built for Climbers

Climbing shoes work hard, and they do not always get much time to dry out properly. SmellStopper is designed to be placed inside your shoes after each session, helping prevent odour build-up and keeping your kit bag fresher.

Ideal for:

Climbing shoes
Bouldering shoes
Gym bags
Backpacks
Travel bags
Vans and kit storage

Use them as a preventative measure in newer shoes, or to help freshen shoes that already have odours.

Natural Freshness

Each SmellStopper uses a natural refill made with cedarwood powder and lavender essential oil.

Cedar helps absorb moisture and release a clean woody scent, while lavender adds a soft, fresh fragrance. No overpowering chemical smell, just a more natural way to keep your shoes pleasant between sessions.

Care & Refill Information

The outer cover is machine washable, with 30°C recommended.

The natural refill can be replaced when needed. Each refill lasts approximately 3 to 4 months, depending on how often it is used and how damp your shoes are after climbing.
