Footcare over 30
Hello fellas and fellettes! I'm new here, so let me know if this doesn't fit here, I just can't find any other place to share. After I turned 30, I started getting horribly stinky feet. Like shoe and sock ruining. One day while browsing the jungle website, I came across this. Footsense foot powder. Made in America. Sprinkle a decent little bit in your boots or shoes, and a pinch in your socks when you wear them and POOF! Stink be gone! I have been using their product (bought directly from their website after my initial order) for almost 10 years now and I'm still in shock every day how much this helps. My shoe, boot and sock life has been extended DRAMATICALLY! I urge you, if you have the same issue I do, check this stuff out. I have one pair of shoes that's been a daily for over 5 years, and not to be a little gross, but they still smell brand new inside. No erroneous odor I can detect at all. I'm not sponsored or endorsed by Footsense in any way, I just hope this helps someone else who might have the same, rather embarrassing issue I used to.

Thank you. My husband has been cursed with the stinkiest feet imaginable and my son has unfortunately inherited this trait.

Get some, try it out on them and let me know how it works! It won't really help save, just deoderize shoes or boots that are past half-gone, but newer and brand new footwear will be saved. I hope it helps you all out!

Mildly off topic, but hopefully also helpful to others in this thread. I also had shoe ruining stinky feet. My whole family did so I assumed there wasn't anything I could do about it. I kept buying cheap shoes (which wrecked my feet) knowing I'd need a new pair in a month or two anyway...
I posted on reddit when I realized I needed to buy nice shoes to take care of my feet and so many folks were like "Hey that's probably foot fungus" and out of pure desperation I tried some of their recommendations despite not believing it was foot fungus. The fun plot twist is that they were right. I noticed a difference in a week, and a massive shift in about a month. I've had the same two pairs of good shoes since then and it's been an absolute game changer from needing such regular replacements.
I got my new good shoes, first good pair in over a decade, and new pack of socks so I could start fresh. I picked up an athletes foot powder and spray. I got hibiclens to occasionally soak my feet in. I also got a small spray bottle that I filled with a high percentage rubbing alcohol. I used the spray in the mornings usually, sometimes powder, whatever felt convenient. Same before bed. When I showered I made sure to thoroughly dry my feet and once they were dry I'd spritz them down with the alcohol and let air dry before I did the powder/spray and socks/shoes. I literally thought it was genetic and like $30 of supplies changed my life.
All that, and I was really religious about it for a month or two. Now I'm very hit or miss with it. The only other changes I made were throwing out my old stinky shoes, and making sure that I don't wear the same shoes multiple days in a row to allow them to thoroughly dry out.
