A word to the wise:

[conuly]

Healthy feet don't smell. Feet smell because they're kept in dark, damp, enclosed spaces. Your hands would smell too if you kept them in gloves all the time!

Healthy feet don't hurt either. Feet only hurt when there is something wrong - often the result of being kept in tight enclosed spaces with no ability to move.

With a small number of exceptions, it is safe to say that bare feet = healthy feet.

It's funny. I have all kinds of callouses and things on my feet because I've always gone barefoot as much as I can. It's toughened the skin on my feet incredibly. I don't worry about getting a cut on my foot like many people do because the skin there is so resistant to damage.

(I can't tell you how many bits of broken glass and pottery and rocks I've stepped on, and it doesn't bother me a bit.)

I hate wearing shoes.

(And my feet don't smell! :D
