Today I want to share something a bit different: a shoe spray that neutralises odour. If you don’t have that problem, lucky you, but personally, I think there’s nothing worse than post-workout trainers that stink.
I’ve tried a few sprays before, but none were effective. Worse still, the artificial fragrances often made things smell even more unpleasant. I didn’t give up though, and after a bit of research, I decided to try Lemon Sole. And I’m so glad I did!
First off, I love the compact 60ml aluminium bottle. It looks smart and doesn’t take up much space in the gym bag. It’s meant to last a good while, though I can’t comment on longevity yet as I only bought it in July, but you really do only need a few sprays.
Now, onto the most important bit. The product itself. Lemon Sole is brilliant. A blend of six essential oils (see the list in the photo below), mostly citrus, it not only smells uplifting and energising but genuinely works. Trainers after an hour of intense cardio? Football boots? Walking sandals that got soaked and refused to dry? Lemon Sole delivered every time!
According to the brand’s website, Runner’s World, Athletics Weekly, and UKClimbing also recommend it, and I can totally see why.
If you’ve been searching for a shoe spray that smells amazing and actually works, this is the one. It’s £9.95, or two for £16, with refills available, too.
They also do yoga mat sprays, which I’ll be trying once my current one runs out.
