I try to keep mine as far a away from my face as possible because after them having pickled in their own sweat in safety shoes all day they can become quite a bit gamey.
The only real cure for that in my experience is regulary bathing your feet and removing that thick skin (whatever that is actually called) AND fill your work shoes with baking soda to remove the smell and tossing those now filled shoes into a plastic bag and stuffing them in the freezer for 24 hours at least to kill the bacteria that develops that smell.
Remember that washing your shoes only worsens the problem since the bacteria just gets deeper into the material.
Hmm... my feet don't stink after work, but orchid says I always come home smelling like french fries. This is weird. I'd understand it if she said I smelled like dough, cause of my proximity to the bakery, but french fries?
