How can I tell my girlfriend her feet smell?

[Anonymous]

My girlfriend and I have been together for a while now. She loves to be barefoot, all the time, she hates socks. I like her feet, i dont mind her going barefoot, its actually pretty cool. Since about 2 weeks ago her feet have started to smell a lot. She´s been wearing shoes without socks. Sometimes she wears boots, shoes or running shoes but always without socks. Her feet have started to smell a lot. When im laying she comes, sits on my back and puts her feet in front of my face, It doesn't smell good. I dont want to say to her something to get her mad, I love her very much, so please help.

Mention to her some benefits of wearing socks?health.webs28.com/...-when-you-dont-wear-socks.htm
Use antibacterial soap when you wash your feet.
Make sure you dry your feet until they are completely dry when you get out of the shower or bath.
When you have sweaty feet alternating shoes is a smart idea. Do not wear the same pair two days in a row. This way your shoes have time to dry out before you wear them again.
Changing your socks or hosiery once or twice during the day can help with foot odor if you remember to dry your feet when you change socks.
A spray antiperspirant applied after your shower or bath when your feet are completely dry can help reduce the sweat. (Beingagirl site)

Just gently tell her & explain what you believe to be the cause.

I love going barefoot too, but if I have to wear any kind of shoes I wear flip-flops or sandals, so my feet aren't confined in closed shoes & don't get sweaty or smelly.

Your feet dont smell?

No, my nose smells. LOL!

My feet don't stink either.

Time for gifts! Do her up a gift basket. Peppermint foot moisturiser, a puce stone, a foot scrub, a pedicure nail kit etc. problem solved! Anyway, what is she doing putting her feet in your face? Try doing the same to her when she does it to you next.

Oh dear. Just tell her nicely that you noticed a difference between her being barefoot and wearing shoes. You don't have to run around the houses telling someone you love that they are a bit whiffy. Just be kind and honest about it. She'll probably appreciate it. Margaret Dabbs does a great foot cream which makes feet smell heavenly in my opinion.

Star making your feet smell like just as bad as hers. Maybe even worse. Y'know REALLY get those badboys stinked up. And walk around like no big deal and when she brings it up to you tell her "I thought I was following the new trend, the way you parade your cheesy toes around"

LOL jk but really be honest and say she smelly. Don't make someone else embarrasse her bout it.

I suggest low key bringing up hygiene and make up a story of how someone smelled really bad at your work or something and mention how important hygiene is for you. But that's just the non direct way of dealing with it :)

Babe you feet stinks. If it stinks, let her know. All she has to do is wash them and start wearing socks. Your actually helping her by letting her know. At least it's not her vagina.

Ouch... how could anyone were shoes without socks? Yiykes..
I'm sure there are many ways to tell her that..

oh, gross! How does she not smell this herself? Just tell her "You know I love you, but your feet are pretty stinky today". She will thank you for it. Or next time she puts her feet in front of your face, pull a face and tell her that it smells bad.

Just tell her. She may feel a little embarrassed but she'll get over it quickly, be nice though.

Just tell her that her feet stink. Don't say she has bad hygiene just ask her to go wash her feet.

I mean I'd just gently mention it, maybe then she'd try and at least wash them after wearing shoes without socks
