try to stick to leather shoes, and cotton socks. My feet smell awful if I wear plastic shoes or nylon tights.

Rose,

try putting Bi carb in your shoes overnight, then shake out,,,,
,perfumed sprays will make your feet and shoes smell worse,!!
and walk about with no shoes on,,,let the air get round them........

Google *smelly feet*.... wow.... some amazing stuff!!

The foot problem may be associated with the other health problems if it has only recently started!!

http://www.getridofthings.com/get-rid-of-foot-odor.html

try this one to start.... or just google, as I said... most of the remedies include vinegar of one sort or another.

Incidentally.... soldiers widdle on their feet as trainees, to harden them up and improve them... interestingly enough the Aussie foot cream (very very good for dry skin on feet) is made from urea, too!!

Don't you just love medical bits and bobs, lol!!

Hope you get it sorted soon though Rose... it is so embarrassing I would think... only had a problem once!

Love

Daff xxx

*takes newspaper from bin.....

step 1....Prepare solution of one part white vinegar to four parts water.

step 2...Soak your stinky feet in this solution for 20 to 30 minutes.

step 3....Put bicarbonate of soda between your toes and rinse after 15 minutes...

Step 4....Then rub in tea tree oil...like bicarb of soda, it is antifungal....

Voila!!!

is it your feet or is it your shoes?I find when I wear shoes without socks especially summer sandals they start to pong quite quickly.Reminds me of rich tea biscuits.!!!

This may be sign of stress or anxiety Rose ..... excess .perpetrating (sp) often is.....causing a bad odour...have you tried fungus spray or powder or ask your GP for a roll on odourless deoderant (sp) will stop it...
