What do I do about my Smelly feet!

[kylie_T]

ok it's a difficult thing for a girlto admit to but here goes - basically I have really smelly feet! And it doesn't matter if I wear trainers boots or completely open shoes, in fact i stuopidly thought if I wore open shoes it would solve it but instead I just got really humiliated when it tuened out my feet still smelt only now everyone could smell my foot odour! So I now just stick with enclosed shoes as it makes no difference, neither does having leather shoes or spraying them... what do I do? Are odour eaters any good?

It is coming from within, you need to change your diet it is a health issue.

Wash your feet daily, carry baby wipes in your bag so you can wipe them and your shoes during the day, wear a different pair of shoes daily for example black ones on day one white ones on day two and back to black and so on so that your shoes have time to air! probably best to buy new shoes as bacteria in your normal ones could be built up and would oppose the above suggestions. there are some miracle cures advertised down the right hand side might be worth having a look at those too!

I use the Bionson natural crystal spray. My feet get hot and sweaty at work as Im on my feet for 12 hours and do a lot of walking. I decided to wear a pedometer to work one day during a particularly busy spell and I had done 10k!! It has totally killed the smell in my smelly work shoes. Cheap shoes are bad for smells, and try just to wear cotton socks.

wash your feet in vinegar and warm water. put cornstarch or baking soda on your feet after thoroughly drying, before putting on your sock.

kylie, yes odor eaters are very good, a bit pricey but worth it - and get the ones called odor eaters as well, not some other brand like scholl or boots own brand or whatever.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the suggestions. Now I have to choose which ones to try! Maybe I could do some of the ones listed and if they don't work try the diet one. alinjangra what job do you do it sounds really high-pressure! I don't even have that excuse I'm mostly sitting at a desk in an office! By the way do you think some people have no sense of smell? this bloke in the office recently took my shoes off to examine my bare toes (there was a reason!) and I was cringing cos I knew they really, really stank and I didn't have the guts to say it but he didn't say anything! My toes were practically up his nostrils so I'm hoping he just doesn't have a sense of smell, like the smell equivalent of being blind or deaf does that exist? I hoope he wasn't just being polite!!!!
