I would think they wouldn't have to be perfect, being far from your nose while you wear them.

You might also try putting activated charcoal (aquarium supply/pet store) or charcoal briquettes in an old sock - rubber band or tie the toe, and put it in each boot. If the weather permits, putting them outside with the charcoal in the boots may also help.

Put a 2-3" layer of unscented clay kitty litter into a plastic storage tub, lay the boots inside and snap the lid on. Leave the tub sealed for a couple of weeks. Your boots should be free of the smoke smell! This works for books too.

Here's the absolutely best way that I have ever found for removing undesirable smells from leather- take the peel from oranges, lemons, or limes, and use the fruit. Let the peel sit for an hour or two, but not to the point that that the peels dry out. Stress the peel- crumple it up in your hand, knead it, kind of crush it up a bit, to release the oils in it. Then, rub it all over the leather, inside and out.

Use the "smooth", outside side of the peels. Sounds crazy, but it will do two things for your leather item: 1. the oils in the citrus peel will give your leather a nice conditioning treatment, and 2. those same lovely oils will kill bad smells, both from the lovely citrus smell that is inherent in the natural oils, and from the secondary germ-and-bacteria-killing properties of those oils. This will actually help to preserve your leather. Repeat rub-downs will continue to keep the stench at bay!

If you put how to remove smoke smell from leather jacket in the search for answers box at the top of the page, you will find many possible methods you might use. If it works on a leather jacket, it probably would work on leather boots.
