I got in the car yesterday and I thought I was, I don't know, the boys locker room? The smell was overwhelming. Dirty feet. Ack and I had to drive home. It was painful. But I knew what it was.
I had gone for a bike ride in the rain with T2 and my shoes that I had worn all the way across the country, plus the thousands of miles of training, were wet. It is kind of like a wet dog, they may smell a little dry, but get them wet and whoa...
I am guessing it is time for a new pair of shoes, but they fit perfectly and I am sentimentally attached to them. Maybe if I keep them in the garage they will keep the mice away.
That is the thing about swimming, you can swim for hours and you don't come out of the pool stinking to high heaven (unless you don't like the smell of chlorine) and so you can sweat as much as you want and you don't have to worry about bowling someone over with that "exercise" smell.
And don't let your friends and neighbors kid you, you do stink. There isn't unstinky sweat no matter what people say. I read somewhere that when you exercise you are only sweating water so you don't stink. I laughed so hard at the article. What world do they sweat on? You know it is back to the wet dog smell....
If you work hard and sweat you are going to stink. And your clothes are going to stink. And your shoes and socks will stink. Sweat=Stink.
Peace

T-Bird, dump some baking soda in your shoes. It will soak up wetness and stink. It works really well! Keep on tapping!😉Kimmy
ReplyDeleteWhy can't you throw your shoes in the washer? That's how we take care of stinky shoes.
ReplyDeletePut them in the freezer with baking soda in them.
ReplyDeleteT3 has an incredible sense of smell versus me at not so much. T3's sense of smell is a lot like the "Princess and the Pea" - she can feel/smell things no one else can. How about a compromise: put baking soda in the shoes & put them in the washer and YOU put your feet in the freezer (door open of course). Only 3 more shopping days until tax season Phase I is over.
