How Do DryStep Shoe Fresheners Work?

Step 1: Absorbing

Step 2: Locking It In

Fresh shoes. Every Day. Zero effort.
Advanced bamboo charcoal technology removes odour at the source and absorbs moisture that causes smell.
No more dreaded sniff tests. No more avoiding taking your shoes off in public. Just slip these in after wear - they go to work fast, with noticeable odour reduction within hours, and full odour removal within 12–48 hours.
Why this works:
Activated bamboo charcoal absorbs moisture + removes odour
Works across your entire shoe rotation as well as bags, cars, wardrobes
12 month lifespan - just an hour of monthly sunlight recharges them completely
Chemical-free confidence - safe for premium leather and athletic materials
Complete foot performance when paired with DryStep socks
Foot odour starts when bacteria feed on trapped sweat.
These fresheners fix that by:
Each bag is packed with over 99.9% moso bamboo charcoal which is a natural powerhouse of odour control.
No artificial scents or chemicals, only natural ingredients.

DrySteps are made from a high-performance blend:
85% recycled Coolmax®, 10% silver antibacterial fibres, and 5% elastane.
This trio delivers elite sweat-wicking, odour control, and all-day comfort — with durability that lasts. We tested cotton, wool, and bamboo. Coolmax® beat them all — especially in hot, humid Aussie conditions.
Silver fights odour at the source. Elastane locks in a stay-up fit that holds shape wash after wash.
DrySteps are engineered with a soft-yet-secure stay-up cuff that keeps your socks in place all day — no constant pulling, no bunching. Whether you're in meetings, walking, or training, they stay put without digging into your skin.
DrySteps are made with 2-ply yarn, giving them a slightly thicker feel than standard dress socks — and even some fitness socks, but they’re slim enough to fit comfortably in dress shoes/boots, casual shoes, or trainers. They provide all-day comfort without feeling bulky — the perfect balance between performance and versatility.
Our crew socks measure 23cm from heel to cuff, landing just below the calf on most wearers. They’re tall enough for business wear but low enough to avoid the bunching or restriction of traditional long crew socks. If you prefer a lower fit, check out our mid-crew sock.
Absolutely. DrySteps are made to move — they wick sweat, fight odour, and offer cushioned support that performs under pressure. Whether you're lifting weights, going for a walk, or squeezing in some exercise after work, DrySteps can handle it without needing to change socks.
Cotton absorbs sweat and stays damp. Wool is better, but can feel hot or bulky. DrySteps use a high-performance fabric blend that wicks away moisture, dries faster, and resists odour — all while looking sharp and staying comfortable. You’ll feel the difference from the first wear.
No — they’re designed to stay up without squeezing. The cuff has enough structure to hold its position without cutting off circulation or leaving marks.
No stress — our First Pair Guarantee means you can try one worn pair risk-free. If you're not happy, we'll refund you.
If you’ve purchased a multi-pack, you’re still welcome to return any unworn pairs for a refund. For hygiene reasons, we can’t accept returns on pairs that have been worn, but trying one before committing is exactly what the guarantee is for.
