How To Avoid Foot Odor While Not Wearing Socks?
I have a pair of shoes that I almost never wear socks with. When I do they are no-show socks. Because of this my feet smell every time I take them off and so I don t like to take them off at friends houses when I m wearing them. Surprisingly, the smell doesn t really bother me much (because it s my own scent) but I know it will bother other people. Anyway, the smell coming from my feet kinda smells sweet (but stinky at the same time). Does this mean anything? And in order for my feet not to stink from this shoe, will I have to wear socks all the time? And do I have some sort of bacterial infection? Note: When I wear socks with these shoes (but mostly my other shoes I always wear socks with) my feet don t smell. It s only when I don t wear socks.

Dear xxxx,
Thankyou for choosing Health Care Magic.
I read carefully your question, and I do understand your concern.
You are right to complain and worry about foot odor, which is a very important issue in our society.
I understood that those shoes without socks are uncomfortable because of the smell, so in these case I do suggest that you wash your shoes and foot before going out. Make sure your shoes are dried and apply some foot spray with good odor before putting your shoes on. Do not worry about bacterial infection, I do not think you have it.
Be happy and enjoy your shoes anytime.
If you still have questio , please feel free to write me back.
Regards,
Dr. Eni Manoku
