Sprinkle some bicarbonate of soda into the boots and leave it for a day or two epending on how bad the smell is. The Bicarb will absorb the odour so throw it out and then use a shoe freshner that you can buy at local shoe stores if you want it to smell really good....

Yeah, you can use baking soda, and then put the boots in a plastic bag and seal it. Leave them for about 24 hrs. Then, take them out, dump out the baking soda, and sprinkle in a little baby powder -- whatever is causing the smell may be due to some residual moisture, and powder absorbs moisture.

Some ideas:
Sprinkle baking soda in them; leave overnight.
The powdered carpet deodorizers also would help.
Spray thoroughly with Febreze.
Dampen a cloth with vinegar and rub the insides of the boots.
Leave a vinegar dampened cloth in the boots overnight.
After getting the odor controlled, place dryer sheets in the boots.

Get some tissue and wrap some baking soda in it, and put it in the shoes.
Store the shoes in a drawer with coffee grounds in a dish, and in a day or two it should take the smell out.
Charcoal is well known for taking smell out of rooms, hang in a cloth bag in the boots.
I wish you well..

The baking soda answers are good - try using a shoe liner with some sprinkled on them. Alternatively, springle some into their socks before they put them on - of course need washing after!
Regular washing of the feet works too!
