Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 We wipe Aleksander's feet off every night with witch hazel. It dries up the feet, and helps to eliminate the odor. His feet smell when we first take the shoes off, but not as much when we use the witch hazel. If we forget though...yikes! I think he's trying to compete with his dad! > > > Hi, people!

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 what about Odor Eaters or Gold Bond powder? I've thought about it, but Darbi's feet haven't been stinky since she was in casts and 23/7 so I haven't bothered. I think I need some Gold Bond for my feet though!
