hi there,

i'm here becos i'm would like to seek advice informally. i will describe the best i can. :)

both my feet smells. it gets worse when i go to work wearing covered working shoes. ladies, u know wat sort of shoes i mean. :D

if i take my shoes off in the office awhile, i can smell it; not sure about my nearest colleagues. mebbie they do but i've not anyone tell me publicly nor privately yet. :cool:

my parents have said tat when i take off shoes the first time i'm home from work each day, my feet stinks. they say i should go get those foot powders, keep my feet dry & clean. :bouncing:

i'm also thinking: anything to do with Psorasis (sorry if i spell it wrongly), whereby the soles of my feet crack & i peel it from time to time? :nono:

one way i think i can do about the covered shoes is to wear open-toed shoes. but i don't like open-toed footwear as i think i have ugly horrible feet, not dainty lady feet. u know, like the movie star. :angel:

phew!! lucky tat is all for now. i hope i've not bored u guys out.

THANK U SO MUCH for understanding & help. :)

Here is some information:

Try a tea soak. You can use some bleach in water to soak feet also.
I've read that some of the foods we eat can cause foot odor, or even a foot fungus.
Hope that helps.

hi there,

wow, i never could tell the history of those "smelly feet". another sin i must confess: i wear the same, YES, "SAME PAIR", of shoes to work everyday. :D

Guess it's another excuse for me to go shopping, ladies. :wave:

however, i will try out the suggestions in the article over this coming weekend.

THANKS. :)

I used to have problems with sweaty, smelly feet and I started using dr scholls foot powder. Didn't sweat so bad and the offensive smell went away.

Hello,

Hehehee, guess tat i should include buying that foot powder also this weekend. this may be a "small issue" but one, which no doubt some will agree, get on our nerves the same. Thanks for ur suggestions. :wave:

how i wish i didn't have all this irritants; smelly feet, peeling skin on my feet, dark-coloured little toenail, perfect skin & hair, ... in short i wonder who i dream of: snow white, cinderella or barbie doll? :bouncing:

just rattling off, dun worry. :D

Cookie Monster,

I have a question for you...

Do you wear the same shoes all the time? or do you change your shoes every day?

Hi there,

At the moment, I've 2 pairs of working shoes. Unfortunately, one pair is "under repairs" & I wear the 2nd pair everyday Mon-Fri. On weekends, I change between my "just a few pairs" of weekend footwear, depending on where i go; if the beach, then it's slippers. if a restaurant, covered shoes. if on my own, open-toed sandals ... etc.

this weekend, when i'm not overloaded with work, i will go to a pharmacy to get the foot powder to try out.

CHEERS

Hi Cookie Monster,
I've been doing some more reading. You can sprinkle baking soda, or cornstarch in your shoes instead of the foot powder. It also might be a good idea to spray your shoes with lysol, or clorox disinfecting spray. I've just bought some grapefruit seed extract and it will also kill germs, you can spray your feet & shoes with that also. In a 32oz spray bottle fill with distilled water and add 50-100 drops of the GFS extract.
Let us know if any of these ideas are helping.
