    Sometimes my feet can be really smelly. I hate it when I go to someone’s house where they expect me to pull my shoes off. Yes, odor eater powder helps, but I never know if removing my shoes is going to knock them out. Especially in the summer. It is better to just never go to other people’s houses.

      It is better to have a few pairs so you can let one air out between uses. Better for the nose and feet, that is.

        And feet. Athlete’s foot is a thing, wearing the same kind of shoes all the time doesn’t help with moisture.

        Edit: just read the last three words… Well at least now there’s an explanation why it’s bad for feet.

      That smell is bacteria. Next time you buy shoes, buy two pairs and rotate between them. The shoes will last longer and your feet won’t smell as much. Another pro tip is wool socks. It doesn’t have to be 100% wool, and they don’t have to be thick and warm. Wools is naturally antibacterial and will not keep moisture trapped by your feet.
