Stinky feet are not a polite topic. But the problem of smelly, sweaty feet can be quite challenging. What do you do?
What Can You Do About Smelly, Sweaty Feet:
Q. I have suffered with smelly, sweaty feet for years. During this time, I have tried many creams, ointments, oils, foot baths and you name it. I would put on a pair of brand new shoes and 30 minutes later, look out!
Taking my shoes off in public was utterly embarrassing. The odor could clear a large room out. People, even my friends, would place a finger underneath their nostrils and even constantly spray cologne into the air!
It was so hurtful! I prayed without ceasing because I know that I am not the only one with foot odor. I Googled smelly feet & stumbled upon your article.
Check this out–I soaked my feet in urine for 30 minutes: ‘ODOR-FREE FEET.’ Thank you, and thank God for answering my prayers! My feet still sweat but they have NO ODOR!

Trouble with Toenails:
It’s not just smelly feet. A lot of people have problems with nails too:
“I have the worst feet in the world. My toenails are fused to my toe. In other words you can’t tell the difference between dry skin and toe nail.
“I’m so embarrassed I cry. I’ve never worn sandals because my feet are so ugly I don’t know what to do. Please help. I don’t know where to begin. From the ankles up I’m great. I work out & keep myself in shape. I am desperate.”

“My wife has the same problem…extremely stinky feet. It’s really embarrassing when she’s lying next to me…I don’t know if she is suffering from athlete’s foot.
“We’ve tried so many things…powders, creams etc. But it’s too complicated to apply. So I’ve recently found special insoles made from cedarwood on the internet. Are there any experiences with such cedar soles?”
