I came up with this blog to represent
all the people out there who are suffering from having smelly feet. I
recall, when I was in my early childhood years I thought that this is
just a normal thing where ever body experience this, which is partly
true. But in my teenage years, I realized that I am different from
other teens. I struggled keeping my secret from my friends, during
special gatherings wherein I am required to remove my shoes and join
the crowd, I am very hesitant to participate and rather choose to
stay in one place and make sure that my feet does not release odor.
I am afraid to be judged by others, and conclude that I don’t have
proper hygiene especially on my feet. I am afraid to hear feedbacks
like, I don’t clean my shoes, and keeps using the same socks every
day or I don’t wash my feet before sleep and others things that you
can think of. After college, my greatest fear has come, which is
working in a closed environment where people are very particular with
odors and some are very sensitive with their noses.
In our office, we are only allowed to
wear socks and slippers. Now there is this one time, when I forgot to
apply anti-perspiration products, the few hours are okay-no bad odors
but during the middle of the day my sweat made my socks very wet, and
then the feared odor starts to spread around in our air-conditioned
office. People start to complain after a few minutes, and described
that they can smell dead rats, and some say that they could smell
burned rubber or some people in the office always sneeze. Then they
started to ask where that odor is coming from. They started to smell
each other’s feet. I couldn’t do anything, and just pretend that
I didn’t know about it. Imagine in a cold room, I started to have a
cold sweat and couldn’t speak a word, pretending again that I’m
really busy working. Then I started to freak out after that and seek
cure and natural remedies to remove or control sweaty feet that
eventually leads to smelly feet.
I know how your social life is being
affected by having this kind of condition. Eventually affects your
emotional side that may hinder you to perform better in whatever you
need to do. In this blog, I’ll try to discuss my failed and proven
techniques in handling sweaty or smelly feet.
