Product Information
Full details
The Sof Sole Sneaker Balls Basketball deodorizer is designed for athletes, students, and commuters looking to eliminate persistent odors in footwear, gym bags, and lockers. Its primary benefit is a compact, spherical design that fits into tight spaces, though users should be aware that the scent intensity may fade before the 90-day mark if the vents are left open constantly in high-airflow environments. These deodorizers use a simple twist-to-activate mechanism to release a fresh fragrance that targets odor-causing bacteria at the source.

FAQs
How long do Sneaker Balls last?
Each pair typically provides up to 90 days of odor protection, depending on how frequently they are used and kept open.
Can I use these in any type of shoe?
Yes, they are suitable for all athletic, casual, and work footwear.
Are these safe for pets?
Due to their small size, keep them away from pets and small children to prevent accidental ingestion.
What should I do if the scent becomes too strong?
Simply twist the ball partially closed to reduce the airflow and the intensity of the fragrance.
Do these work on moisture or just odor?
They are primarily designed to eliminate odor-causing bacteria; they are not desiccant packs intended to absorb significant amounts of liquid water.
Troubleshooting
Scent is not noticeable
Ensure the vents are twisted to the fully open position. If they are already open, the fragrance may have depleted after 90 days.
Ball won't stay twisted open
Check the groove for debris. Clean the edges of the casing with a dry brush to ensure the two halves glide smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the Sneaker Balls is straightforward:
- Activation: Grasp the two halves of the ball and twist until the vents are fully open.
- Placement: Insert the ball into the desired location, such as deep inside the heel of a shoe or the side pocket of a gym bag.
- Deactivation: When not in use, twist the ball until the vents are closed to preserve the scent-releasing formula.
There is no complex setup required. The balls are compatible with all standard shoe types, from soccer cleats to casual loafers. Keep the exterior of the balls clean by wiping them with a dry cloth if they come into contact with dirt or moisture. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the internal scent beads.
