I bought these to use for some gloves & equipment that I use for fencing (HEMA; the kind with swords, not the kind with fenceposts), and I have not been disappointed.

Super easy to assemble, and while I havent had to change the absorbent packet thingie yet, that seems like a piece of cake, too.

They have significantly reduced the amount of stanky moisture in my gloves, and instead of smelling like a locker room, they just smell - well, they smell LESS like a locker room. But honestly, nothing is getting that smell out completely. Maybe if I had started using them from day one...

Great product, will definitely be getting a second set for my work boots.

I tried all the sprays and powders I could find and nothing worked on my kids' shoes. I thought maybe they weren't washing their feet properly so I did an experiment and sniffed their feet after they showered and it smelled fine, like soap; at the end of the day after wearing their shoes it was cringe-worthy. So it was the shoes.

After looking for alternatives, I found stankstix on amazon. Intrigued, I read the reviews and invested in a pair on amazon so I would get it the next day with prime and went all in and bought a 4 pack from the stankstix website. I was desperate and hopeful and just couldn't stomach the smell of my sweet kids' pungent feet, with or without socks. I imagine all the bacteria it must be rubbing all over the house - ick!

After using stankstix for 1.5 weeks consistently, no more cringe-worthy pungent smell from their feet/socks. I have a stankstix for all kids' shoes - cleats and sneakers, and the decrease of feet/sock stink is at 90%. I ask to smell the kids' feet (and they are happy to oblige) and I'm shocked at the lack of odor! My 12 yo son is even putting the stix in when he comes home - that's a miracle on so many levels.

I'm not one to write reviews for products but I am going out of my way to write one for this product. I'm just that happy with the results. I will be telling everyone about this!

Yes, hubby has smelly shoes. These help but not the end all. Still trying to decide if they are worth it.

My daughter plays a lot of soccer. Because of that, neither her shoes nor her bag ever smell nice. We decided to try to keep a new set of cleats from going funky too quickly and looked around at various products. We'd tried just about everything n the past, but only direct sunlight ever worked all that well. Unfortunately, direct sunlight isn't always available in the winter or after an evening game.

Decided to give GloveStix a go after reading the reviews and watching a couple of online testimonials. So far, so good. I have to say the new cleats still smell pretty new and the bag has stopped smelling like a damp locker room. Wasn't sure my daughter would use the sticks consistently as she's never put much effort into keeping her gear clean (maybe because she never saw much return on investment?), but GloveStix work so well, she's used them EVERY time her cleats come off. That, in and of itself, is a testimonial to their effectiveness.

We are only a couple weeks into using the GloveStix and I'm hoping the SilverSeal technology really lasts the promised 10yrs. Even if it last through only one soccer season, though, it'll be worth the price.

This is the best product of getting rid of bad odor in shoes that I've ever had. I've purchased 6 in the last year. Order it, give it a try like I did, and see why you'll end up buying more for the rest of your shoes.
