BLOG: Girl Wins $2,500 For Stinky Shoes!
An 11-year-old Connecticut girl has taken home the grand prize for having the stinkiest sneakers in the nation.
Trinette Robinson beat out others kids in the National Odor-Eaters Rotten Sneaker Contest to win $2,500.
“I felt really happy,” she said. “Words can’t explain.”
Her sneakers saw a lot of action in the past year, she said, as she worked outside for a local Department of Environmental Protection program, as well as the Girl Scouts.
“One thing I did to get them dirty — I stepped in horse manure,” Robinson told the Hartford Courant.
Judging of the battered footwear was based upon the conditions of the sole, tongue, heel, toe, laces or Velcro, eyelets/grommets, overall condition – but most importantly, the odor.
