Something foul is afoot in Conn. girl’s sneakers
MONTPELIER, Vt. — An 11-year-old from Connecticut has the most disgusting shoes in America.
Trinette Robinson of Bristol, Conn., was crowned the winner of the 35th annual National Odor-Eaters Rotten Sneaker contest Tuesday in Montpelier, Vt.
Her sneakers were judged the most vile on the basis of their condition and odor. She says she got them dirty by playing hard in Girl Scout Camp and doing community walks for charity.
She was among nine kids ages 6 to 16 competing in the contest. She wins $2,500 and an expenses-paid trip to New York City.
The runner up was 6-year-old Madilyn Taylor of West Jordon, Utah.
