PJP replied. hi kunal,

this is a complaint of most men. but the key to the magical door is easy to attain.

1) buy a pair of sports socks. they are thicker and so they absorb the sweat easily. and it is very comfortable too. to be specific, Reebock is very good, or rather one of the best. it can cost you around 385 rupees or something like that, for 2 pairs or 3. im not sure. with these socks, believe me, you dont even have to wash (now, im not giving you an idea as of not to wash) your socks everyday. can you believe it? no matter how much you sweat, you can wear the socks unwashed for 1 whole week, and nobody will know you've not washed. but it is indeed best to wash it every alternative day.

2) Air your socks and shoes once you come home.

3) apply a liberal coat of talcum powder on your sole, between the toes and on the feet till your ankle or till where ever the socks extends.

4) when you wash your socks, soak it in detergent for 1/2 hour, wash it well and in the last of water, add a few drops of dettol and rinse it well and dry it. dry it in shade. drying socks in the sun will make it hard and rough.

5) buy a new insole for your shoe. you should be able to get it from the same manufacturer of your shoes. if you dont, get one done from a cobbler. it will cost you hardly a 50 bucks. but it is good to get it changed.

6) i suggest for another 1 week you dont wear your shoes. let it air fully for a week and let all the smell go. throw away your old pair of socks and buy the new ones ASAP.

7) if its raining in your part of the country, then you HAVE to air it atleast for 2 days before using it again, as the dampness will not only cause the smell because of the fungus that will form, it will also affect your feet.

thats all you need to do. simple, naa? bye to smelly shoes and socks.

all my love,
priya.
