Q. Many years ago I had a boyfriend who had terrible foot odor, maybe from wearing steel-toe boots. I'd read that lemon juice could help relieve the odor so he tried it.

He cut a lemon in half and rubbed it on his feet. The results were amazing! It really helped get rid of the odor and it made his skin feel good as well.

A. We’ve not heard of this approach to smelly feet. Don’t try this if the skin is cracked or the lemon juice will sting!

a scrub brush with soap and water will do the trick every time. Few people wash their feet very well. They can't reach them, don't bother, or give them such a cursory attempt in the shower or bath that skin cells accumulate and hence the odor. Navels are subject to the same problem.
