Roland returned from his 10 mile run, pulled off his sneakers and stuck his nose close to his foot. He took a big SNIFF! and exhaled, AAAHHH! Nothing but a faint odour of lemons, just as he expected.
The sneakers were his latest brainchild: an ordinary pair of sneakers, lined with an absorbent layer
that wicked away sweat and delivered a weak solution of fruit acid, to eat the sloughed skin and kill the bacteria whose waste products used once make his feet smell like a fine, aged Limburger.
Locker rooms will never be the same again, he realised. Now, about that $500 price point... How much would people pay not to fumigate their friends and family, every time they removed their shoes?

The idea is lemon-scented Odor-Eaters? I think Roland is doing some serious over-compensating to obfuscate the stigma of his latent homosexuality. |

No, the idea is light chemical peeling of the layer of skin cells and bacteria likely to cause foot odour. |

I would definitely pay a lot of money for a pair of trainers which didn't stink my office out after a lunchtime trip to the gym. And if the trainers kept my feet babysoft and callous-free, well, so much the better. + |
