Odor Eaters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Odor Eaters is a brand of foot-care products, especially shoe insoles and foot powder. The brand is manufactured by Combe. Herbert Lapidus invented the namesake insoles in the early 1970s. The insoles consist of latex and activated charcoal, known for its odor-neutralizing qualities.[1]
Since 1988 Combe has sponsored the Odor-Eaters Rotten Sneakers Contest, which was begun by a Massachusetts shoe store in 1975 as a gimmick to sell shoes. Currently the national contest is held in Montpelier, VT on the first day of spring.
Odor Eaters was also the name of a brand of socks produced by Combe. These socks were impressively effective in controlling foot odor, in stopping the development of foot order. The socks were distinctive in that they were made of relatively heavy material; in color, they were gray, and had blue toe and heel sections. They apparently have been off the market for five or more years as of 2009.
