Wash them. And when you ride put som GB in your socks to help absorb some of the moisture.

oder eaters, work great, also in the off season get those moister bags, that they have. i think they are desicant, any way they eat moister, smell comes from fungi, and bateria that need moister to survie, kill the moister, kill the smell, serval of those per boot, make them air tight and first ride of the spring, will give you that freshness like new. but i know oder eaters work, i got the powder and i use it all the time.

Air 'em out when done riding and stuff a used dryer sheet in 'em until the next ride.They have to be dried out after riding,don't just stuff them in the boot bag.

Stuff two old socks with bars of soap and shove one in each boot.

Personally - I wash the crap out of mine each time and let them dry before storing them.

Old socks or panty hose legs stuffed with kitty litter right after you take them off. The kitty litter absorbs all the moisture.

I take my wet socks off after riding and stuff them in my boots. I then put the boots in my bag along with my other riding clothes and helmet. That way you know where everything is for next weekend. I've never noticed a smell.
