SMELLY SOCKS

          You enter the room and immediately know someone has removed their shoes.  Socks have a way of holding that smell even after they have dried out.  Who wants to wash smelly socks every evening?  No one!!!!

          So, you head out to the drug store and purchase Lotrimin Powder.  That doesn’t work.  Then you try Odor Guard.  Next you try Medicated Power.  No help there, either.  Well, you think, how about shoe inserts?  So you purchase Odor Eaters.  They help for awhile and you heave a sigh of relief.  Until.....a few weeks later that awful smelly socks problem is back.

          You begin to wonder....maybe it isn’t all the fault of your socks.  You pick up a shoe, peer inside and almost keel over from the smell.  But, gee, you’ve only had that pair of shoes for three years.  How can they smell like that? 

          There is only one solution to the smelly socks problem.  Throw away those old shoes, buy new ones, soak your feet, and wash your socks.  Now you can kick off your shoes and breathe a sigh of relief.  No smelly socks, or shoes, problems.   Sorry socks, all that smell wasn’t coming just from you, after all.
