- New boots are a magnet for odor. It is advisable to wear these boots with socks and if you do not do so, then you will need to dispel the odor. For this you need to mix equal portions of baking soda and corn flour (about two tablespoons) with two drops of essential oil and pour it into the boots. Remove the mixture the next day and you are ready to use the boots again.
