Eau Du Feet

Yep, foot odour . . .

Any remedies?

Sandals, slippers, been there done that, tried it all. Doesn’t work. After a few hours of time spent in either one of those articles to keep your feet from touching the asphalt this is the problem.

Washing feet is the only solution so far. I’m not a guy who sweats in the first place and if i do its my feet that do the sweatin for me.

C’mon hold your noses n pop out solutions :nahnah:

:hehe: now you know not to sit near my feet at a guppy meet.

Shtinky :snooty:

Ever used the Talcum powder thingee?

Aww coco no wonder you were crying about not having any friends....

here you go buddy

Wash your feet briskly with an antibacterial soap. After rinsing, dry your feet thoroughly. Use a blow dryer if needed.

Wear absorbent socks and change them frequently. Socks should be made of cotton or other absorbent materials. Be sure to always wear socks with shoes, and take an extra pair of socks to work or school with you to change during the day.

Allow shoes to air out for at least 24 hours after use. Some shoes can be salvaged by washing with detergent or bleach.

Look for shoes that breathe or ventilate, which depends on their construction and materials. Leather usually breathes very well, but ask your shoe salesperson about the breathability of specific shoes.

Apply a 5 percent or 10 percent solution of benzoyl peroxide to decrease bacteria growth.

Apply an underarm antiperspirant spray containing aluminum chlorhydrate or aluminum chloride to help your feet stay dry.

Soak your feet daily in black tea, which contains tannic acid. Brew tea bags in one pint of boiling water for 15 minutes. Then add the tea to 2 quarts of cool water and soak your feet for 20 or 30 minutes. Some people report great improvement after 7 to 10 days of daily tea soaks.

Sprinkle talcum powder into the toes of your socks to keep your feet dry and discourage the growth of bacteria

Hmm…

I already wash my feet with water n antibacterial soap.
I got only socks that are cotton 15 pairs of em too!
My shoes/boots are breathable.

benzoyl peroxide ?? apply that on my feet :eek: isn’t it a bit corrosive :nahnah:

I don’t use antipersperant, I use deodorant instead. The aluminum ingredient has rumours of a risk of cancer.

Holy, who has 20-30 min. each day to soak your feet in tea!! Ah, I’ll give it a try sometime.

The talcum powder, I don’t do, I do one better by using Dr. Scholls foot deodorizing powder that is put on shoes.

And as for making it all up, I thought you were winging it when you said tea bags till I read the source :stuck_out_tongue:

If it is easier grab a small can of Tinactin ,Lotrimin ,or AFTA spray powder for fungal infection.Also commonly called Athletes Foot .

The remedy Belle gives is rather elaborate & i am sure effective but in different ingredients & compunds makes it cumbersome though i am sure cheaper on the ;long run.

But its hard to get rid of bad smelling feet somthing like sweaty palm ,dandruff,halotosis ... chronic sufferers i pity them:(

If everything fails… u cud try n buy some absorbent Odor-Eater type shoe inserts .. i heard they r good for sweaty feet :disgust:

Besides all the common sense things like washing and wearing 100% cotton socks, and trying to stay barefoot for several hours, a good soak in a foot bath using an essential oil or two in water might be useful. See if there is a shop selling these things near you. I know of people who got rid of fungal infections on their foot using thyme oil, others tea tree oil and I have also heard that propolis can be useful. This is a milder method that doesn't involve poisonous substances and even smells good!

simple way out
no jhan jat at all.

when wearing sandals..strappy ones..wear a perfumed feet n nail moisturiser. good for skin n smell. when wearing sneakers..apply a good talcum n wear cotton socks. if wearing party covered shoes..whear talcum and those sheer socks in skin colour if u dont want them to be seen :)
these will only work if u keep ur feet washed n clean. cut yr cuticles and inside the nails. wear minimum nail coulor as sweaty stinky feet will get enhanced .
get regular pedicures as well!

How are pedicures going to solve the stinky feet problem?

stink is mainly the result of fungal thingy's n baterias. regular pedicures mean cleanliness inside the nail corners which go black within 2 days. secondly, they use stuff like dettol n concentrate on cleaning the feet from every nook n corner. so out go the cuticcles, the dead smelly skin, the ganda ganda bacteria and dirt, so no more stink!
