I’m 50 yrs old. My stinky feet have been a problem since I was 8 years old. I slept over my friend’s house when I was 8 and the mom commented on my stinky feet. Ever since then I have always had to wash my feet before I had people over my house or if i was invited somewhere and I knew I had to take my shoes off. I had to plan how many pairs of socks I brought on trips bc I knew my feet would smell. Woe is me.
A doctor once told me that the healthiest thing to do for your feet is to go barefoot as much as possible. Only wear socks and shoes when you absolutely have to.
My shoes always smell fine, but I wash my feet everyday. In high school I washed my feet about every 3 days, yeah that was a problem and made my shoes smell bad after a while.
After I put my socks on I put deodorant on the bottom of my feet before putting on my shoes. Any kind of deodorant works. I highly recommend using the flaky white kind instead of the gel kind. I personally use Irish Spring deodorant on the bottom of my feet. And it works. I have no smelly feet after a 10 hour work day. You could also use body spray to spray inside of your shoes before putting them on. I've done both deodorant and body spray. Really works! At least for me. Btw, one time my female bestie wore high heel leather boots for a whole day without socks. When she took them off in my car her feet smelled vinegarie lol.
Long toe nails also cause the odor also. That's why you need to clip your nails regularly. Also wear clean socks everyday or twice a day. And wash your feet with antibacterial soap. Also don't walk bare foot around the house or outside.
Great question, BBuzzy8. People with a condition called plantar hyperhidrosis sweat excessively from their feet, and antiperspirants are often used to treat this. However, this doesn't work for everyone with this condition, and can cause rashes/itching. So it can vary from case to case.
Antiperspirants contain aluminum, which closes the sweat glands, therefore halting the sweating process. Deodorant is basically just perfume or scented powder.
In middle school I would wear my shoes without socks everyday, and they would stink! My feet and shoes would. They where white Nike Airforces, and I was a messy girl back then. I eventually got rid of those shoes. The insides would get dirty and my foot’s imprints got suck on the sole, pretty yucky inside, the shoes even started feeling weird when I would put them on, they felt spongy.
Entertaining video. You’re correct when you say that the sweat of the foot is essentially odorless but you are way off base when you state ••►And it doesn't matter how clean we are, how hygienic we are.◄•• because foot hygiene is the first step in the treatment - self treatment or by a physician - of foot odor. Careful and correct hygiene removes bacteria and the dead skin cells on which they feed. Also, ••►point of the matter is, if you run a mile, then your socks, shoes, and feet will stink afterward.◄•• Nope! Clean feet in fresh shoes and (the right kind of) fresh socks will be virtually free of odor after a mile run (Well, I might be the exception since it would take me all day and half the night to run a mile !!) -Denny
Great note, Haon Haon, and we really appreciate it! Our longest video so far is "How do you decaffeinate coffee and tea," at around 4 minutes, but I don't think we'll ever make anything longer than 5-6. On Stuff They Don't Want You To Know, I have certainly rambled on -- and I'll try to make those shorter, too. Thanks for watching!
Hi! I think your videos are awesome! Keep it up. Just a word of advice though, try to keep your videos under 9 minutes, or 87% of people will get bored and shut it off. Either way I would definitely listen and think the you guys are awesome
To Major 6336: Black socks for women (showing shins) make men throw up inside; awful look, turn men off, and in 80, 90-degree weather -- nauseating to think.
To Pixel Laela: The perception of no scent is good, especially seeing a *female wearing bright white* thick ribbed ankle socks with high-top sneakers, and showing shins, which gives a good impression. Save the black and dark socks for the men.
If you buy brand new socks and keep your feet clean, you can literally make work boots that normally stink, start smelling like new socks, it's something about old socks (even after you wash them) that just automatically stink after a day at work, however brand new socks and clean feet, can be so sweaty that they're wet, BUT THEY DONT STINK! That's why I always buy new socks for $10 because I can go to McDonald's or the gas station and spend $15 on some food or snacks that will only last 20 minutes and it's gone, but my socks will last ... Just keep new ones and try to not ever wear them... Problem solved lol
Thanks Ben, these videos are great and funny ! In the same stinky category, I'd like to know how deodorants and antiperspirant work. Could you make a video about it ? Thanks again !
To Rel Yuriko: The people are not crazy: When you walk barefoot you pick up germs, grossness, dirt, and doo-doo from the ground. This is not hygienic and makes your feet smell. The ...t can get between your toes.
Lifelong stinky feet guy here. Please explain why when I went on a full carnivore diet my stinky feet disappeared? And I don’t need antiperspirant either. Please explain that doctor.
dont wear tomuch shoes because that make your feet stink,i wear sandal everywhere everyday,i wear shoes only if i go to shcool,work or party my feet still clean and not stink at all 😁
My feet smell just like my hands most of the time; that is to say, they don't really have any kind of strong odour. I have come to believe that this is because I am almost always barefoot when at home, and any other situation whenever possible.
I found when i went through puberty i had the STINKIEST feet but since i was 22ish or so i just have a "normal" feet smell... So i guess hormones play a party as well?

Very informative and to the point. :)
Just a small FYI in the spirit of improvement:
Bacteria is the plural of bacterium.

I like how you guys explain these stuff, can you talk about growing and when we stop growing ? Thanks

Me who wears shoes all day
everyday: 👁️👄👁️

Well explained but you should have thrown some light on available solutions
So does "poop" come from just the bottom of the feet?
Long toe nails also cause the odor also. That's why you need to clip your nails regularly. Also wear clean socks everyday or twice a day. And wash your feet with antibacterial soap. Also don't walk bare foot around the house or outside.

My sister used the antimicrobial shoe insole called PodoPhylus. It worked!
Thanks, Ali! We've got a great team on this one, and I hope you like our upcoming episodes, as well.
You are Funny And YOU Gave US Great Facts And I will give you a thumbs up
So would Botox help with the poopy smell?

This host is great :)
Thanks a million, MineBossGaming! I hope I get to host more of these in the future. Anything you'd like me to cover in an upcoming episode?
Does that mean the problem can be solved by soaking your feet in antibacterial solution/disinfectant etc, daily/occasionally etc?
no youll just make resilient bacteria
is there any way to stop "stinky feet"
Would putting antiperspirant deodorant on your feet do more harm then good?
so how to get rid of that smell doc ?
So which bacteria should we have... If we don't have bacteria we die..
Why do some people develop more callous type skin on their feet and others do not?
well i am not big fan of shoesi wear sandalsevery day
it keep my feet is cool and does'nt smell
Feet smell bad when running like kimmy
Gibbler from the 90's
To Jakey Beckett: What's that?
Do Ice Skaters get dizzy when they spin around & around?
I think it’s kind of weird but you can’t see bacteria but you can smell the waste but the bacteria produces
Little bit of epsilon salt could help
Why don't gloves smell then?
PandaMagicFTW gloves do smell stupid ass
Makes no sense
.I have always heard that people who don't sweat have bad body system... So I reather sweat... And be healthy
Not true
Is atlantis true?

Depends on shoes. If they have cheap sole it stinks.
How do we avoid stinky feet, shoes & socks
My feet never sweat or smell, I don’t know why
Have you tried running/jogging like 6 miles?
I'm a boy and my feet sweat even in flip flops!!
Please do one called "Why Do Colons Clog?"
Womens feet smell nice
I have hyperhidrosis but my feet doesn't stinks.

I dont wear shoes, ever, unless I'm forced to. People always act so disturbed it annoys the hell out of me.
So you wear flip flops?
But are black socks worse for your feet??? I cant find the answer!!!!
To Major 6336: Black socks for women (showing shins) make men throw up inside; awful look, turn men off, and in 80, 90-degree weather -- nauseating to think.
Thanks for the vid
Awesome show
Thanks, samurairebel8!
Very good video
This answered nothing
My feet have no scent whatsoever...
To Pixel Laela: The perception of no scent is good, especially seeing a *female wearing bright white* thick ribbed ankle socks with high-top sneakers, and showing shins, which gives a good impression.
Save the black and dark socks for the men.

That's why when I go around bare foot all the time and people say it will make my feet smell I look at them like they are crazy.
To Rel Yuriko: The people are not crazy: When you walk barefoot you pick up germs, grossness, dirt, and doo-doo from the ground. This is not hygienic and makes your feet smell.
The ...t can get between your toes.
Well thanks !
Love your videos, and all the other channels, so informative :) thanks for making these!
Lifelong stinky feet guy here. Please explain why when I went on a full carnivore diet my stinky feet disappeared? And I don’t need antiperspirant either. Please explain that doctor.

Theealterego Thanks, man. 'Ppreciate it ;_;
Advice: do not keep your shoes on.
Wool socks, thank me later
Stinky feet disgust me 🤢
If people just wash their feet in the shower everyday, then they will not have stinky feet.
