A FED-UP woman shared the inexpensive buy that eliminated her husband’s foot odor.
She stressed that while he suffered from the “world’s rankest feet,” the $10 purchase restored her peace of mind.
Redditor Sumacumlawdy shared the tip in a post.
To get rid of foot odor that builds up in shoes, she recommended purchasing filters over the long term to prevent smells in the home.
“You can buy small carbon filter bags that you put in your shoes overnight to rid them of the stank,” she said.
“My husband has the world’s rankest feet, like emptied a shoe store once.
“Nothing, not powdering his shoes, deodorant, washing, spraying, new shoes, medication, nothing ever helped.”
After a fresh set of inserts, she was relieved to report back on a money-saving solution that worked.
“I bought him a set of Moso Carbon and Bamboo inserts and new shoes, and his feet are odor-free,” she said.
“Completely. We eventually replaced the disposable filter bags in the diaper genie with one, kept one in the fridge, one in the car, and a gym bag.
“Truly wonderful for only ten bucks. And sustainable!”
She added that the perks of the Moso Carbon and Bamboo inserts were their longevity and impact on the environment.
“It lasts a very long time and is completely recyclable,” she said.
“We’ve been doing this for seven years, and you’d never know he once had weapons of mass destruction at the ends of his legs.”
Thousands of happy Amazon shoppers agreed that the filter bags were a game-changer.
“I would highly recommend these. I am a nurse and work 12-hour shifts, most on my feet,” wrote one.
“By the end of the day, my feet are sweaty and stinky. These things work like magic. Once I get home from work, I place them in my shoes, and by the time I get up the next morning, there is absolutely no odor.”
One shopper revealed that the filters worked, even for dogs.
“I bought these to put in my dog’s shoes. We live in Florida, and the pavement gets too hot to walk her without something to protect her paws,” they said.
“The shoes she was wearing smelled soooooo bad that I was washing them over and over and over. But nothing seemed to remove the smell.
“After I bought these and started putting them in her shoes after each walk, the bad smell has gotten less and less.
“I’ve been using them for a few weeks now, and the shoes still have some bad odor, but not nearly as bad as before.”
