which came first; the stinky shoes or the stinky feet?

there is definitely a continuum of stench as related to smell; from the mildly pongy "one-too-many-onion-bhajis-the-night-before" morning breath, to the dry heave inducing "gorgonzola-rotting-carcus-dog-shit". there is very little grey, someone's pits either smell, or smell really bad.

my mary janes (not a euphemism, you filthy boys) have never, not smelled bad. subsequently, every time i wear them my feet smell (once i remove the shoes to unlock the scent). i thought they were past smelling any worse. today i was standing and having a conversation with a co-worker and i could smell my feet/shoes- my nostrils are over 4 feet (ha!) away from them.

this is terribly unladylike.

Aren't those Keen Mary Janes? I swear I think people wear the Keen's in the factory before they are sent out...I just apologize to everyone now before I remove mine. They really take on an odor of their own.

I have a pair of shoes that *always* make my feet stinky. I'm on the verge of getting rid of them even though they're practically new. I never wear them anyway, bec. I don't like stinky feet.

Yeah that's what's holding me back on mine too...still, I think they're destined for Salvation Army. Maybe a bible thumper will like them since they don't hit that crease. :-)
