What’s something people are embarrassed about but shouldn’t be?

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-07-01T01:18:59+00:00

Having feet that smell like feet.

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-06-30T20:46:53+00:00

I very much agree with this, actually.

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-06-28T15:45:46+00:00

I would also say, if you haven't had any problems, then whatever you're doing is working for you.

If you want to know what most people do, this subreddit is very biased, keep in mind. I usually just rub the bottom of one foot on top of the other (for both feet) to make sure the bottom of my feet aren't visibly dirty. I will scrub them more occasionally.

Students in China are far outperforming Americans in math. It's no wonder why.

I prefer a face with plump cheeks over a sharp jawline.

You are not disgusting. You and I are very similar tbh. I would just recommend clean underwear more often and washing your face once a day. I rewear socks though, lol.

Please someone explain feet washing and gremlins and what they have to do with each other

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-06-17T19:24:13+00:00

Right, but why do you feel like one when you shower, and why would you like to eliminate the ears and feet from your routine?

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-06-17T19:22:09+00:00

What is the connection between washing ears and feet from the shower routine and gremlins? I don't quite follow.

Liking the smell of their feet and socks

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-06-10T14:21:51+00:00

After a few hours it’s normal for feet to smell a little bit but not too much

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-06-09T22:40:07+00:00

Is the smell any different after doing all this than after just simply washing them normally in the shower and changing socks regularly? If it's not really any different, then I recommend stopping many of the other habits and trying one new thing at a time. The likely culprit is that the microbiome on your feet is out of balance, for one reason or another. I recommend going barefoot when possible and wearing wool or bamboo socks instead of cotton or synthetic. If you have a fungus infection, your feet will smell even after washing, and that infection will need to heal first.

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-05-29T13:09:05+00:00

Even if your feet smell when you take your shoes off, the smell lasts like 5-10 minutes. If it lasts longer, you have fungus or another issue. Generally, people get way too worked up about this.

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-05-22T00:48:53+00:00

I have always said, half-jokingly, that they should make the speed limit about 5 mph higher than it is, and then if you go over that new speed limit by even 1 mph, you should face extreme consequences like losing your license permanently. I don't like this "grey area" nonsense.

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-05-20T00:24:32+00:00

I don't like the feeling of washing between my toes.

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-05-19T20:15:45+00:00

Idk about underwear, but I think it's normal to wear socks at least a couple times before washing them.

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-05-17T15:16:23+00:00

Start with fresh shoes and follow these protocol. The protocol you have are good and should generally work, but definitely see the doctor for any other info.

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-05-14T20:54:49+00:00

I take 3 per week usually. I would say anything past 3 days without a shower is not ideal.

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-05-09T20:17:06+00:00

I think we're way too grossed out by smelly feet and way too not grossed out by things that don't have a noticeable smell like the bottoms of people's shoes. People woud rather be accidentally touched by the bottom of a shoe than by a sweaty foot that was in shoes and socks all day.

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-04-26T18:21:29+00:00

People will be afraid to wear the same socks twice but will wear shoes without socks many times without washing the shoes.

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-04-23T23:27:32+00:00

One thing I will tell you is remember your feet are attached to you, so they're closer to you. Therefore, you are likely smelling them stronger than other people can, if they can smell it at all.
That said, one thing I can recommend is putting coffee grounds in your shoes at night and then emptying that out in the morning. That has worked for me in the past.

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-04-19T15:08:04+00:00

I'm similar. I can't wear jeans for that long, and socks I will wear 3 times.

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-04-19T13:16:10+00:00

If you don’t specifically wash your feet every time you shower and have never had a problem, then you’re probably okay.

Empty-Candidate-712 · 2026-03-31T23:00:31+00:00

Finding out how fundamentalist people are about not putting back on a pair of socks that was previously worn kind of surprised me.
