Wearing a Walking Boot After Surgery? Here’s How to Control the Smell
If you’ve had foot, ankle, or lower leg surgery, chances are you’re spending weeks in a walking boot. While the boot gives you the stability you need to heal, it doesn’t take long before another problem shows up — odor.
Why Walking Boots Smell
Walking boots trap heat, sweat, and moisture. Since they’re worn for hours at a time — often with limited opportunities to air out — bacteria quickly build up in the fabric lining. This leads to that strong, musty smell that only gets worse the longer you wear it.
Why It’s a Problem
You’re already dealing with the challenges of surgery recovery, and a smelly boot can add embarrassment and discomfort. Many patients feel self-conscious around family, friends, or coworkers when odor starts to seep out.
