Boy finds fame with smelly shoes

 

A heady cocktail of dirt and sweat is said to yield the smelliest trainers

A 10-year-old Vermont boy has won an annual competition for having the smelliest sports shoes in America.
Coming first amongst nine finalists, Daegan Goodman said his trainers were victorious because "I just wear 'em, sweat in 'em... I just try".
The competition is sponsored by a manufacturer of deodorant products for shoes and feet.
Veteran contest judge George Aldrich said: "The stench sometimes stays with me for days. It's like a flashback."
Olfactory adjudicator
The contest was held in Vermont state's Montpelier city - hailed as the "Rotten Sneaker Capital of the World".
Its 10-year-old winner is set to become a familiar face on America's myriad cable television stations, which, say organisers, are clamouring to interview him.
He also walks away with a savings bond worth $500, a $100 voucher for a fresh pair of trainers and a range of Odor Eater products.
Contestants' trainers are primed for the challenge by a mock military-style instructor, who puts the participants through gruelling, sweat-inducing exercises. Mr Aldrich's credentials as an olfactory adjudicator date back to his days conducting smell tests for American space agency Nasa.

they haven't smelled mine yet it looks like.

This thread has taken an alarming turn.
Can't you guys post some pix of highway accidents or something? This is really grossing me out.

that's my driveway.

HAHA. If it were heaven there'd be no smashed beers.

I know. It's wonderful. I love being indie. I'm so indie it fucking hurts.

hayden, you have the right face to be an indie kid. i don't. plus i'm pretty sure that you all comb your hair and that is not something i can live with.

I don't comb my hair. I do, however, occasionally wash it. I'm a broke indie kid.

i don't wash it very often and i haven't combed it in about 6 years except for when i'm dying my hair.

Yeah. I don't think I even own a comb. Messy hair is hot.

I get compliments on my hair all the time. I get haircuts maybe 2-3 times a year, don't brush, don't comb. I just let it do its thing after it dries from being in the shower.

Shrug.

i haven't cut any length off my hair in almost two years. for awhile it was all short like brody dalle.
