Recently bought some nice Asolo boots at the REI used gear sale. They had some laffy taffy on the sole, which I didn't think would be a problem. After removing the taffy and soaking the soles in vinegar, rubbing alcohol, and a number of strong solvents, as well as sanding away some of the rubber with a dremel tool, they still retain a sugary candy smell, though it's fainter than before. I actually have to bring the sole to my face to smell it now, which took a lot of doing. Do people think this is going to be a problem? I'm going on a 7 day backpacking trip in the Sierras next week, and I'm leery of being molested by bears, raccoons, and the like.
