Stinky Feet
My daughter loves to where flats like these:
(BTW you can find a bunch of flats on sale at Payless Shoe Store)
Unfortunately, she likes to wear them without socks and in this hot weather that causes a bad case of stinky feet! However, I have found a solution. Add 1/4 cup Listerine to a lukewarm water foot bath and soak your feet for 5 minutes. Listerine has an ingredient called thymol that kills odor-causing bacteria. I have even heard that some wipe the inside of their shoes with Listerine as well (let dry before you where them though)!

Ugh. The stinky feet smell of summer is one of the worst. I’ve never heard of the Listerine trick, but I have heard that the shoes themselves will smell better if she stuffs a fabric softner sheet in them each night when she takes them off. It absorbs the odor.
I like the smell of Listerine so I’m going to try it! Thx!

You could put it in a spray bottle and give the shoes a light spray. That might solve the problem without saturating the shoes.
