yes, it's true...

it's summertime, and out come the barefoot ballet flats, and with that, my stinky feet...

how can i wear the shoes i love without incubating my feet all day in a sweaty shoe? by the time i get home my feet are disgusting, and soaping them up don't seem to help because it al starts again the next day when i put on my shoes again...

what can i do to make my feet and shoes smell better? i put bounch dryer sheets in my shoes like that scary stepford wives commercial tells me to, but it doesn't seem to do a thing!

HELP!

thanks

Have you tried foot powder?  It really works!

K this is an old wives tale, it sounds crazy but it worked for me. (Start with clean or new shoes if you can). First thing in the morning go walk outside in the grass and get the dew all on your feet (I know it will probably be very cold but it will help you wake up as well)

Ny grandma told me this and I thought she was crazy, not sure if it works for everyone but it worked pretty good for me, and I have no idea why.

One day I was watching Oprah, and Dr.Oz was on and someone asked this exact question about fixing stinky feet.

According to Dr. Oz, the best fix is to brew up some mild tea (let it cool) and put your feet in it for about 30 minutes a day for a week.

"The tannic acid in the tea will actually tan your foot a little bit, which will dry it out," he says. "That's helpful in reducing the amount of sweat, and the odor as well."

I haven't tried it yet, but I have heard from others that it really helps!!

Also, you can try wearing shoes made from more breathable material..especially in the summer.
