I did the cat litter method and minutes later my cat took a big shit in my shoe. Damn youtube

[bklynzcoco]

Is it me or is it the a human fact that we always want to double check bad Odors knowing the first time was bad 😂

[mustafaabdi]

TBH the internets first solution for everything is baking soda lol

[Volumesofdoom]

I soak the insides with rubbing alcohol, let it dry, then I put baking soda in it. It works. Also it helps to soak you feet in Epsom salt a few times a week. The Cat litter is a genius idea, I never thought of that. The fabric softener is a bad idea since it doesn't kill the bacteria that causes you feet to stink.

my co worker does not wear socks . Their feet stink through the shoes so awful

Everybody who has seen Holes already knows the cure is peaches and onions.

Don’t bother sell them on a fetish site and buy new ones

[famousamos]

I am thankful I don't have this problem. My work boots and soccer cleats have zero scent because I lack the sweat odor gene as a Korean. It's pretty neat!

[whodapple]

They use baking soda and then reuse it to bake sour dough bread...it's an industry secret! 🤣

“I don’t know what y’all do with your feet” we work lmao

[stephanymccormick]

I soak my feet into Apple Cider Vinegar with bath soap, I scrub them multiple times and I did this at least once or twice a week and my feet started to smell better and feel extremely soft.

Someone in 1991 bought a few shipping containers full of baking soda. Legend has it they are the masterminds behind trying to get people to buy baking sodas to this day!

Freezing your shoes does not kill bacteria

[dr.fegelein]

My youngest brother... damn, you can simply just smell him entering the room.

[KA-eusy]

Take out your insoles. Put newspapers into each shoe overnight to absorb the moisture and odor. Never wear the same pair of shoes on consecutive days. You're welcome!

[TADDs]

50% Apple Cider Vinegar 50% warm water ... soak your feet in it 3x a week to take stench away

[propacman]

For me it's not so much the foot odor. But my work boots after they get wet from working out in the rain or walking in puddles or mud, that's when then start smelling.

[AudioInklined]

Another thing you are going to want to do that helps a lot that people might simply overlook: WASH YOUR FEET when you shower! A lot of folks neglect their feet and only scrub other places.
It makes a huge difference

Me and my brothers feet were so smelly as kids, my father once told me he was considering making four holes in the wall of our bedroom so we could stick our feet out through the wall and stucco while we were in our beds sleeping. 😩

Homegirl is BRAVE for smelling another man's stinky LOL!!
