Sometimes it’s nice to have a mask when I’m in the public restroom or when changing my baby’s diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smelly-feet#post-2926098 Wed, 12 Jan 2022 16:42:10 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2926098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: lol! Oh dear </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smelly-feet#post-2926096 Wed, 12 Jan 2022 16:00:27 +0000 Corduroy 2926096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>(Bad joke) Covid! It's been the cure for the old pee smell in my son's room. Not wincing at the smell was how I realized my sniffer wasn't working. Ok, I'll see myself out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smelly-feet#post-2926088 Tue, 11 Jan 2022 19:26:19 +0000 LadyDi 2926088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Myicitygirl: Thank you! I will try that next. I should have asked this question before Christmas since Santa brought him a lot of Super Mario (but sadly not cotton or bamboo) socks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smelly-feet#post-2926081 Tue, 11 Jan 2022 16:51:52 +0000 Myicitygirl 2926081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If that doesn’t help, try the bamboo socks. Charcoal bags, baking soda, and switching socks/shoes only treats the shoes but you will still have smelly feet, smelly socks and smelly shoes. My kid has used bamboo socks exclusively for a year and while his hands and feet still sweat profusely, there is no more smell on his feet, on his damp socks or in his damp shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smelly-feet#post-2926076 Tue, 11 Jan 2022 15:03:24 +0000 bhbee 2926076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LadyDi: I hope they help! I also tried the baking soda overnight idea from @Chuckles: and I think they would be great in tandem - charcoal daily and baking soda maybe once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smelly-feet#post-2926073 Tue, 11 Jan 2022 14:58:18 +0000 LadyDi 2926073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: Just got the charcoal shoe bags. Thank you for the rec! If those don't help I will move on to switching socks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smelly-feet#post-2926006 Thu, 06 Jan 2022 18:22:33 +0000 Myicitygirl 2926006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dealt with this with my 7year old son and 100% bamboo socks are a GAME CHANGER. his feet still sweat but they do not smell at all! I get them from Bamboo Sports. They are not cheap and can be fragile (I wash in mesh bags and line dry). But total life saver. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smelly-feet#post-2925970 Wed, 05 Jan 2022 15:58:36 +0000 Chuckles 2925970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really think that switching between two pairs of shoes is key. My 2 year old daughter's shoes and feet smell *terrible*. I mean, she's two. She's hardly even sweaty. I also shook some baking soda into her shoes one night and let it sit for a day before shaking it out. The smell was much, much better for at least a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smelly-feet#post-2925969 Wed, 05 Jan 2022 15:45:40 +0000 Mommy Finger 2925969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Commiseration! My 9yo is so smelly at times. Like he walks up to you and you just smell his feet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smelly-feet#post-2925963 Wed, 05 Jan 2022 14:35:16 +0000 bhbee 2925963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah the site ate my post!! We do</p> <p> 100% Cotton socks<br /> Charcoal shoe bags (insert at end of school day or other sweaty times)<br /> Lume (I like unscented) cream on feet before socks go on in the morning - I know it’s an extra step that probably falls on you but that stuff works </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smelly-feet#post-2925962 Wed, 05 Jan 2022 14:02:10 +0000 LadyDi 2925962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my lord my 6 yo's feet smell SO BAD. ALL OF THE TIME. He's really not a smelly kid but he is a sweaty kid, which I guess is contributing to the feet problem. He showers (and therefore washes his feet) every other day and he never wears socks or shoes in the house. He does typically only wear one pair of shoes until they wear out or he grows out of them.</p> <p>What can I do? Do I treat his feet or the shoes or both? Should he have more pairs of shoes or wash his feet every night? It's pretty stinky, I really don't want him to get a reputation as a smelly kid at school. </p>
