stinky feet

Put your shoes in the freezer, the cold kills all the bacteria in the shoes and makes them smell nice and fresh. Alot of the time it's the shoes themselves that keep the bacteria and as long as you keep putting them back on keeps them in your feet...another thing to do is put baking soda in your socks and shoes and that will neutralize it as well. . .

 

I can go through several pairs of sports socks a day as I jog some mornings or Gym before work that makes my feet smell a bit cheesy. at work I use cotton rich socks less sweaty I find . shoes I dont have cheep ones for work they tend to smell less had no complaints from staff anyway .trainers are the problem I refuse to pay stupid high prices so I get the cheep ones and keep them in the boot of my car dont think the smell is that bad .

 

I can never smell my stinky feet, but one day, my mom just handed me a thing of foot powder and said, "no offense, but your feet smell."

 

I cant use stuff like foot powder as it Irritates the fuck out of my feet I use deodorant with
no alcohol or perfumes added

 

I can't smell my feet and I live alone, so I don't care, haha.

 

Lots of possible reasons for this but two possible helps:

Eat bananas. You may have a potassium deficiency IIRC. I had this issue years ago and this took care of it. One or two a day should do it.

Wear shoes that breath. Cheap synthetic shoes don't let air flow around your feet and the sweat just gets trapped in them.

Hope this helps.

I sweat a hell of a lot under my arms. Even just sitting at the computer i can sweat and i need to change my t-shirt. Thankfully though it's never smelly and it seems to be just more like water. We all have a little things that we wish we didn't have.

 

Heh. Sorry about that Actually I just did some googling (we're such good friends) and also see zinc deficiency being mentioned as a source of foot oder (which may be what I was thinking of) and bananas being a source of both zinc and potassium. However, the article also mentions that there are other sources of both including "meats, seafoods, cereals and nuts, especially liver, red meat, raw oysters, crab, lobster, bran and peanuts"

So you may be off the hook for bananas after all

I also used to sweat like crazy, even when sitting still when I was in my 20s and 30s. It eventually just went away, although I don't know if it was a change in diet or just reduction in stress.

Whoops, almost forgot.

Re shoes, the best option is a leather or other natural material shoe that will breath. Plastic shoes with no ventilation holes or mesh or whatever are the worst choice.

Hope this helps,

Hmm, I don't have sweaty feet, but I have chronically sweaty hands. D:
Just imagining myself in a social situation where I'd be required to shake hands makes me cringe.

 

I wear sandals. My feet would be soaked in shoes,. I think my meds cause it.

 

I usually just put a lotta baby powder in my shoes during the summer to prevent too much foot stank and sweat. haha.

 

I don't think it will be an issue anyway, unless you are seeing someone who has a foot fetish. Lol.

 

Nop. Maybe you have a foot fungus or something?

I don't know what advice to give you because I've never really experienced anything like that before. What I do know, however, is that fungi tend to grow in moist environments; maybe try adding a little baking soda/powder or baby powder to your shoes..?

lolidon'tknow. D:

 

I think there are shoe inserts that help with odour if you aren't keen on using powders or sprays.
