Yesterday this comment showed up on the post: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I have an innovative product that will effectively dry wet shoes and boots. They\u2019re called Stuffitts. They are 100% cedar-filled sachets that you simply stick in your shoes\/boots when you\u2019re not wearing them, and the product removes moisture and eliminates odor. I\u2019m a triathlete and have only been selling this product for a few months\u2013 having attended race expos and placing a few ads (see Triathlete mag). Great response thus far. Give them a shot. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stuffitts.com\/\">www.stuffitts.com<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Normally I delete such posts without a thought, but on a lark I checked out the link. Turns out it&#8217;s this guy named Mike Huebner making these shoe inserts on his own as a solo start-up, so I figured &#8220;what the heck, another for the &#8217;boutique manufacturer&#8217; list&#8221; so I let it stand.   This morning, Mike realized his transgression against the Blogger Code (which is: no spamming your commercial interests in a community-of-interest site) and sent me a note of apology so I could remove the post. I thought that was cool enough to leave the post in place. <\/p>\n<p>Mike also asked if I&#8217;d be interested in testing his product, but I declined, because I&#8217;m not really all that interested in filling my site up with gear posts (which would make Two-Heel Drive  commercially viable and I simply can&#8217;t have that). I did recommended he contact the folks at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.backpackgeartest.org\">backpackgeartest.org<\/a>, though. <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to test &#8217;em out, however, <a href=\"mailto:twoheeldrive@gmail.com\">drop me a line<\/a> and I&#8217;ll put you in contact with Mike.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in January I posted some advice about how to get your soggy shoes dry again.
