ok so after like a week of wearing my flats, they always start to sweat/smell and its super gross. how do i fix that besides wearing socks or stockings or whatever. its gross help!!! its my flats that keep the smell btw

[CaramelSweetie]

Spray the inside with perfume? xD
Maybe you should try to start wearing those ughh...flat socks. Whatever they're called.

[hellotiffy]

yeah wear the flat socks. i don't know why you wouldn't want to, the patterned ones are so cute!

yeah wear the flat socks. i don't know why you wouldn't want to, the patterned ones are so cute!

Word. They even have stylized ones too.. like laces. And I'm sure there are ones that are made to appear not as obvious.

[sarahx3]

ok, but some of my flats show the socks and they dont look good with them...
anyway, where can i get them?

[addickshun]

that's because you sweat alot around your feet area.

my feet still smell a little when i wear socks
so i spray deodorant on the bottoms of my feet, then wear socks.

i saw on an episode of oprah where dr. oz talked about a remedy for stinky feet. he said to soak your feet in some green tea for about 30 minutes a day

and for the sweat, maybe try applying some baby powder to your feet before wearing flats

[AllaN_K_H]

Tried Shoes Freshener?
Baby powder as mentioned should also help a lot, cause it cuts down on sweat, well reduces effect of sweat.

Theres this type of powder specially made for sprinkling into your shoes.
You can try shoes shops or chemist i forgot where i got it. But it works better than baby powder.

[innerouter2000]

i heard somewhere that if your feet tend to do that, its best to go for leather flats if you arent already wearing leather ones.. that allows ur feet to breathe =]

[wonderfullness]

foot deoderant? i heard some people have separate sticks of deoderant that they use for their feet.
i don't know if i would recommend anti-perspirant though. supposedly the aluminum (?) in it increases the risk of cancer--but I really don't know. -___-;;

[johnderek]

spray with that odour eliminator stuff from wal-mart.

[J'adore]

Yeah all my flats have like black inner soles cause of my BAD feet!

[xsmitten]

try lush - t for toes.
=)

[xXxLiLMayGurlxXx]

Febreze your flats!!!!

[dulce<3]

I thought I was the only one with this problem!
I put mine outside to "breathe" after I wear them. xD

[ipingu]

lmao i never get this problem just use foot spray...

[Antz]

maybe buy shoe deo. :/
i have these cute flats but i wore them so much and now they stink T_T i haven't worn them in ages.

[eunheaj]

couple of fixes to this problem, i have the same issue.

1) like dr oz on oprah said soak your feet in tea every day for like 30 minutes, tannins in tea dry out your feet so no more stinky feeties but be aware that the tannins in the tea will also tan your feet.

2) sprinkle shower to shower in your shoes and on your feet before you put them on, problem is your blk shoes will be white on the inside and it's not a guarantee plus it's messy but it does help some w the odor

3) put your shoes in a ziploc bag when you get home and stick them in the freezer, read this in a magazine and not sure if it works

4) the body shop has a foot spray called peppermint cooling foot spray, i've tried it and the scent's a little obvious

5) if you don't have a body shop near you or are low on funds, go to walgreens (couldn't find it at cvs) and look for the new sally hansen just feet all day foot spray (it's blue w a silver cap) and is scented w lavender & tea tree oil (helps dry things out i think). gave it to a couple of my friends for christmas bc apparently it's a requirement that if you're my friend you have stinky feeties too lol jk have no idea if it's really true but quite a few of my friends have this same problem and one said it worked out great.

hope this helped you guys out.

i might add that i've used the insoles before and they're a waste, don't spend your money on them.
