Can I use this over bare feet when I take a shower at the gym? If I use cheap sandals or shoes, they reek this awful smell and have to be thrown away.

I wouldn't recommend it. They aren't durable enough nor snug enough to make me feel that they were protecting my feet from gym grime. I use cheap flip flops from Old Navy and then rinse them each time. For me, the key is to let them air dry in my car afterward. I never put them in a bag. That's what causes the moldy stink. Good luck.

Use your flip flops, but spray them AFTER EACH AND EVERY USE with a little alcohol (put some in a little spray bottle and keep it in your gym bag). The alcohol will not allow bacteria to grow, and your flippies won't stink. Every few times, spray them, wipe the foot well w/ some TP, then spray them again. This will eliminate dead skin buildup...the 'soil' in which the bacteria tries to thrive.

Absolutely! You won't feel anything. Running or any activity shouldn't be a problem. They will just all the sudden start to peel. It isn't the prettiest process, so be prepared to not wear sandals for a few days.

@Oklahoma Girl ... I had the same problem with my feet feeling really dry afterward, but the instructions said don't use any other products on your feet until the peeling stopped. I think I'll try a daily soak next time I do it, as others have recommended. Nix Nix, you are probably going to want the socks. I live alone, and even I couldn't stand the trail of skin flakes going through my house! It's gross ... wonderfully gross, and so worth it, but not something I wanted to have to clean up!

Hi, I 've used it after acqua gym for 3 days in a row and it didn't smell at all. Of course, I hung it on a line afterwards

Umm, I don't really know, I would think you'd be ok, I mean, it doesn't hurt your skin or anything. I went about my business like normal, I went to the gym and whatnot. Maybe it would make your foot peel happen quicker. I would say just to wear a good cushioned sock, and change out of your sweaty shoes and socks afterwards as soon as you can. Also, I've read from other users that they kept their feet well-moisturized in the days after they did the peel. Report back after and let us know how it worked out. I think it would be ok though.

I would think so. That's what this is designed for. Just make sure that you have plenty of ventilation when you do it because the fumes are strong. Coat the sole with an even coat of Shoe Goo but don't make it too thick or it will ooze out of the sides. If you have a shoe last (the things they put inside shoes at some stores to help them keep their form), I would put it in the shoe first. Then you might want to find a way to weight the shoe down so that the pressure on the sole is even and it glues evenly.

Not at all. It prevents chafinng. It has nothing to do with sweating or smell.

It does work great, just don't dry it where people can smell it because the room it's drying in, smells like feet..:/

This is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant, so it will not stop sweat. I'm not sure that it will stop odors, either. I used it for a few months and could not see that the stick was worn down at all, which meant it was not transferring the product onto my skin. It appears to be a highly-polished crystal or rock. I can't recommend it.

I wouldnt try it with bare feet. I use it with my socks and training shoes on, I hope that answer your question. I read from one of the reviews somewhere on the net to use shoes. I love my Ironman it works really good.

If by "get rid of", you mean add its bleach like odor to the smell of sweat and B.O... Honestly, I stopped spraying it because it was so disgusting to me. Maybe someone else who has used it for the purpose you are describing should jump in.

Ignore the expiration date. It always works for getting rid of stinky feet no matter how long you have it.

Yes, your feet will sweat in these. There are no vents and the plastic is not breathable, so the sweat will not evaporate as quickly as if you were wearing a porous material. But the nice thing is you can rinse out the inside after you wear them and let dry to reduce smells.

I'm not sure it would matter too much but I happened to do it in the morning, just after we scrubbed her feet with antibacterial soap and before she put on her socks and shoes. We've only gone 2 weeks with no odor but seeing as we couldn't ever shake the stink before, I still highly recommend it!

Way better!, like Deborah says before, you have to be careful using this with dry feet, because if you do it too rough you can hurt yourself. I love it!!!I use it after the shower and for me it works better. After that, I apply some lotion. And you are good to go again :)

No, but that just sounds like a bad idea. It's like sandpaper on the bottom of your shoes. You'll end up scratching floors. They make specific products for leather soled shoes.
