At-Home Cures For Foot Odor ... Luckily, there are several things you can do in the comfort of your own home to help reduce foot odor.  Tea, for example, is often very successful when it comes to eliminating foot odor.  Black tea contains tannic acid, which exhibits anti-bacterial properties.  Boil a large pot of tea and then pour it into a foot-sized tub.  Let it cool before you stick your feet in.   Soak your feet for 10 to 30 minutes.  Be warned!  You may need to scrub your feet with soap and water afterwards if the tea stains your skin.  Some people recommend chamomile tea (the sweet smell of the chamomile flower is an added bonus), while others suggest soaking the feet for up to an hour in cider vinegar and warm water.  Obviously no one has an hour to soak his or her feet everyday.  But if you notice the stench is becoming particularly offensive, soak your feet every day for a week until you get the odor under control again...   Here’s another at-home tactic that doesn’t require you to purchase anything extra.  Use the antiperspirant you normally reserve for your underarms and apply it to your feet (this is obviously easier if you wear spray-on deodorant).  In severe cases, you can talk to your doctor about getting a prescription for Drysol (a heavy-duty antiperspirant) but for most people over-the-counter stuff should do the trick....

Love sits enthroned in Clara’s eyes,
The Graces play her lips around,
And in her cheeks the tendrest dyes
Of lilly mixed with rose are found.
Where charms so irresistless throng
What mortal heart can try resistance?
But ah! her nose is two feet long,
And bids our passions keep their distance.
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

Beautiful women seldom want to act. They are afraid of emotion and they do not try to extract anything from a character that they are portraying, because in expressing emotion they may encourage crow’s feet and laughing wrinkles. They avoid anything that will disturb their placidity of countenance, for placidity of countenance insures a smooth skin.
—Laurette Taylor (1887–1946)

We have one other pond just like this, White Pond, in Nine Acre Corner, about two and a half miles westerly; but, though I am acquainted with most of the ponds within a dozen miles of this centre, I do not know a third of this pure and well-like character. Successive nations perchance have drank at, admired, and fathomed it, and passed away, and still its water is green and pellucid as ever. Not an intermitting spring! Perhaps on that spring morning when Adam and Eve were driven out of Eden Walden Pond was already in existence, and even then breaking up in a gentle spring rain accompanied with mist and a southerly wind, and covered with myriads of ducks and geese, which had not heard of the fall, when still such pure lakes sufficed them. Even then it had commenced to rise and fall, and had clarified its waters and colored them of the hue they now wear, and obtained a patent of Heaven to be the only Walden Pond in the world and distiller of celestial dews. Who knows in how many unremembered nations’ literatures this has been the Castalian Fountain? or what nymphs presided over it in the Golden Age? It is a gem of the first water which Concord wears in her coronet.
Yet perchance the first who came to this well have left some trace of their footsteps. I have been surprised to detect encircling the pond, even where a thick wood has just been cut down on the shore, a narrow shelf-like path in the steep hillside, alternately rising and falling, approaching and receding from the water’s edge, as old probably as the race of man here, worn by the feet of aboriginal hunters, and still from time to time unwittingly trodden by the present occupants of the land.
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
