HELP!!! How to fix stinky rubber hunting boots

I have a small cheapo ozone machine from Amazon to get the initial odor out. From there on out I put bulk carbon in pantyhose tied on each end down each boot when I'm done hunting. Here's a couple examples: Bulk carbon, Ozone machines. The carbon is coarse ground so a ninja or coffee grinder helps to break it down for more surface area for odors to cling to.

Boot dryer and sprinkle baking soda in them. I dry the inside of my boots after every hunt especially in hot weather. Never have a problem with smell.

Fill some pantyhose up with charcoal. Insert them in the boots and leave in them whenever your not wearing them. It will take about a week for the smell to neutralize
 
Ozone for the win here. I put my work boots in after a summer of sweat they tend to get a little nasty smelling and the ozone does the trick
 
I’ve used activated charcoal, I just sprinkle a bit in the boot and shake for a bit. Then just dump out any residue. Yes it will leave your feet black for a bit but your boots won’t smell at all.
 
Boot dryer and if that doesn't work throw them out! I had a pair I got from Cabelas and they were made out of what looked like wetsuit material. They were supposed to be insulated but all I did was sweat and freeze in them. To top it off they were Frankenstein heavy ! I am waiting on a pair of insulated Rocky all leather boot .
