new boot smell
i bought a pair of Irish Setter ( red wings ) hunting boots for $176.00 ( yeah im crazy to pay that much ) they are 1600 grams of thinsulate, and they cant keep these boots on the shelf so i figured id better buy the last pair of 11's even though i wear size 12... all they had left were size 8 now. but the 11a fit ok.
so they are for deer hunting, and they have the new boot smell.... rubber and leather which you can smell a mile away.
any tips on getting rid of that smell?? i dont want to leave them on the back deck to air out, ill never see them again

Yeah, I would really like the new boot smell rather than an OLD boot smell!
Sorry, the shot was there, had to take it.
Along the lines of what rebel_ford said, you could use liquid scent (such as earth/dirt) and make sure you leave the boot in a plastic bag for a couple of days so the scent you apply soaks in rather than evaporates away.
Good luck and happy hunting!

Not to get off the topic of smells here but I bought a pair of Red Wings not long ago and I will never buy another kind of boot ever again. They are extremely and stand up to some serious punishment that I give them at my job.
