Dragons Den Boot Bananas! Miracles for smelly shoes

Transcript

I came with a nightmare of a smell. The stench from one particularly pungent pair of my rock climbing shoes was starting to take over our flat. So we decided to fight the funk ourselves. I perfected a blend of salts, minerals and plant extracts that work miracles and remove the smell, and Alex came up with a brilliant banana design idea. And in the first year, we sold almost 4,000 pairs to rock climbing gyms up and down the country. And over the years, I have sold to retailers such as Go Outdoors, Cotswold, Ellis Brigham, as well as of course developing sales direct to consumer and in marketplaces.
