Stinkstiefel

For those who don't speak German: "Stinkstiefel" is a term for a grumpy, unpleasant person.
Literally, it means "stinky boots", and that's what these are. I had ordered new hiking boots, which arrived today.

They fit well, but came with a rather unpleasant chemical smell. To air them, but keep them dry during rain showers, I hung my stinky boots underneath the table on our patio, where they will stay for at least 24 hours.
 
Only Rani seems to like the smell.
