I have never had a problem with that I don't know why some do some don't. I do use powder on my feet when I get dry from the shower.

I usually wear socks and apply lotion every day so I won't get cracked heels or other problems. I give myself basic pedicures, never went to get one because my feet are so ticklish. I change socks a couple of times a day since I have so many pairs.

My sister crocheted some slippers for me. I also have a pair that are slip ons with soles and a back. I find that if I wear socks with them my feet are a lot warmer. I always have had cracked heels. I used Burt's Bees foot lotion on them and that really seemed to help. This winter though I never had the dry heels. I also realized that when I wore the wool ones. my feet would get real dry if I didn't wear socks under them. I think if you would wear slippers without the backs on them they would not be as warm. I guess this is in the same line as layering your clothes for warmth. The skid socks that Nicole mentions also dry out my feet.

I do my own pedicures, no stink. :0) I like Old Friends, real sheepskin slippers. High tops for really cold weather and mule/scuffs for cooler weather. I also wear socks with the no skid dots on the bottom.

;-) I was hoping for a photo (of the shoes, not your feet!) I like to wear crocs and the rubbery stuff and my feet can get stinky. So now every day I spray my feet with dr. Scholls some type of anti stink spray, and the crocs get bleach washed when they start to stink. I spray the shoes sometimes too. And scrub feet regularly. I can't stand going around in bare feet, so it's always with socks.

Sheepskin slippers sound awesome, can they be cleaned (if I tried them and they started to stink...)?

I wear vionic slippers - they have an orthotic sole. I put them in the washer about every 2 weeks or so and they come out pretty good. I get a new pair about every 18 months.I LOVE these slippers. I also get pedicures every 3-4 weeks, use an exfoliant scrub in the shower and use lots of lotion. My feet are nice and soft!

Cant stand slippers. I go around the house barefoot. I've never been troubled by stinky feet.

I have a devil of a time finding good quality house slippers. Usually they are sized Small (5-6) and Medium (7-8). I wear a 6 1/2. Small is too small, medium is too big. Any suggestions?

I usually am barefoot too, but I keep the thermostat on 60 so my feet get cold on the cold floor.

I've never had a problem with smelly feet. I do like pekemom.

My feet get cold, so I wear socks when the weather is cool. I have some very nice sheep skin slippers with rubber soles, but I quit wearing them because hubby was always bugging me about breaking down the backs of them by not inserting my feet all the way in. I guess I wore them sort of like flip flops. Anyway, I got tired of hearing about it, so I don't wear them anymore. The slippers are pristine, but useless.

I really don't have a problem with stinky feet... but these houseshoes were stinky.

so, now, I had to get new ones. Since I have arthritis in my feet... my feet hurt if they get cold. Thus, I have to wear house shoes... I much prefer bare foot... and can't wait for warmer weather and bare feet time.

My go-to is warm socks

I sprinkle a little cornstarch in my Keen shoes every day. (Baking soda seems to take care of odor but makes them wet.) Those little packets you get with shoes are meant to be kept in shoes over night and dry them out. And change them out; don't wear the same ones days in a row. Let shoes or slippers air out. And I let my feet be barefoot as long as I can stand it. (not very long) But I love thick socks. I have day socks and night socks.

I wear fuzzy stretch slippers with grippers on the bottom. I buy them at Big Lots, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc. They can go into the wash. They're very comfortable. The ones I have on now are a funky leopard skin design.

I wear flip flops in the house, with socks when my feet are cold. Can't wear slippers with dogs in the house, dog hair clings to them.

My DD gave me some really nice sheepskin lined houseshoes I wear in winter. They do not stink at all. In summer I switch to terrycloth ones I can throw in the wash. My feet don't get really stinky except when I run they do sweat and I always wear very thin wicking socks always (either compression socks or Swiftwick). But what really helps the most overall is that I use foot cream after every shower (and I shower at least twice a day). I use Aveda but have used Gold Bond too. Surprisingly it keeps your feet soft and smooth but also I think it keeps your feet from being so smelly. I rub it all over, especially in the places I am prone to get calluses, and also between my toes.

ElizabethA, that is very true about boot dryers. We have a small portable one we used to carry with us when we went skiing. Nothing better, especially if you're wearing the same pair of boots every day.

Moni, do you wear socks? It seems to me socks act as a buffer between feet and shoes, and since socks are changed every day, they prevent odors.

I usually wear shoes in the house, not slippers, as I feel as though I'm more motivated to get things done in shoes. In winter this means a warm pair of Lands' End All-Weather Mocs, wool socks, and disposable toe warmers (I have Raynaud's). I've been wearing the same pair of Mocs for three winters now (they are practically indestructible), and they don't smell.

The best slippers I have ever had were ones made by a friend. She knitted and the felted them and they were fabulous. I got a second pair after wearing out the first but now that pair has holes too. Since they don't have manmade bottoms on them, they don't last as long. :( But I don't wear slippers often as I am always going in and out of the house to take the dogs out.

Mine have sheepskin fur whatever that's called in the inside and are very soft and absorbent. I have a pair or two of sock slippers too that are like thick knitted tall socks with the dots of anti slip rubber on the bottom. My sheep ones are slide on and make it easy for me to slip on and off. I also love my Uggs!
