My Feet Stink...

OK, I read "Prevention" magazine, and long ago, there was an article "Take Zinc, Don't stink!" or something like that. It claimed that at least some obnoxious foot odor was due to a lack of zinc in the diet. Zinc suppliments are cheap- I'd give it a try. Zinc is also necessary for healing, and as a diabetic (diabetics heal slowly) I take it. Another area it is supposed to help in is gray hair! I'm 59 and my hair is mostly dark-just a few sparkles here and there- but that might be those Cherokee genes doing their magic! lol - Granny

well, there are many weird things ive had to accept and deal with about myself but for once...i can honestly say that i dont have any problems with my feet. i mean if i go skating all day of course they're going to sweat but they never really stink.

funny story though, since i skate a lot i destroy a lot of shoes. so one time my shoes were so fucked up i had to wear my homie's shoes to go to work (he left them in my car because he always skates with me, and yea they were his skating shoes). well wouldn't you know, i would always notice this stinky feet smell everywhere i went in the store that day. i said, hey maybe its these shoes, took one off...put it under my nose. HOLY FUCKIN BAJINGAS!
yes, yes i was the one.

actually, my feet don't stink, i've never once ever had someoen comment on my feet... but that's probably because i don't wear shoes all day... matter of fact only time i wear shoes is if i'm leaving the house... cuz shoes really aggervate me for some reason.

Shoes annoy me. Except flipflops. Those are fine. My feet are happy. They smell like dryer sheets at the moment because I just put on a pair of warm socks right out of the dryer. I keep slippers under my desk at work so my feet can be happy all day.

My feet dont smell.. DOnt ware shoes unless im going some ware..

my feet have a Cinnamon and Nutmeg kinda smell...

Mine smell like the laundry detergent or fabric softener sheets I use on my socks. I tend to wear socks alone when I'm just at home, and my favorite shoes are clogs, which are nice and loose. So odor isn't a problem. Even my workout shoes smell fine. I've read that zinc can help, as can baking soda (in shoes) and deodorizing powders and insoles. Odor often comes from bacteria that's begun to form in shoes that have gotten too sweaty and dirty. They say you should give shoes a day to dry out between wearings. Also, chlorophyll is a wonderful natural body deodorant, so eating lots of green leafy vegetables (or taking a chlorophyl supplement) can help with some odor problems. Once I read a tip that said if shoe odor is a really bad problem, you should put the shoes in a plastic bag and then put them in your freezer for 24 hours so the freezing temps can kill the bacteria. Don't know if that works or not, but it sounds like something worth trying!

my feet never smell....maybe it is because i always put powder in my shoes, and never let them get dirty..i think there is nothing grosser looking than dirty sneakers.....and i dont really sweat..it is a freak oddity.....lol
