Dirty summer feet

9 replies

I love wearing sandals in the summer but cannot stand how dirty my feet are at the end of the day. I walk a lot , but not anywhere really "dirty" just pavements/town.

Is there some magic solution for this, apart from wearing boots or never leaving the house!

I think pavements are probably the filthiest place one could walk!

I have wet wiped my feet halfway through a day wearing sandals in town/tube. Privately, not on the northern line.

Just wash them when you get home! Nothing magical needed

I wash my feet in lovely cold water as soon as I get in. And occasionally when I get into work if my feet have got muddy on the way in.

I hate how grit can get into sandals. A platform can help prevent this. The other thing is suncream can attract dust. A dry oil is best for feet I find. But to be honest I end up in lace ups most of the time now because of suncream and dust issues.

I don’t wear sandals or flip flops for that reason,I can’t stand mucky feet.

Just shower when you get in or wash your feet at least.
I don’t wear sandals anyway and on the rare occasion I wear flip flops and get dirty feet I just wash when I get home, they can be clean in less than a minute!

i love flip flops but know what you mean
i do put flip flops in the washing machine weekly on a light wash which makes a differrence and i have 10 pairs😀

also ivve a very small washing up bowl just for my feet and will soak a couple of times a week especially as my heels really suffer so flexitol them a few times a week

wow that sounds like lots of hassle but it really is not😁

I live in sandals. I love washing my feet at the end of a hot day with a lovely scented scrub. Then rub in some luxurious lotion.

Regular sanding and footner-ing to fight back the hardened skin.

I wore flip flops on the weekend and the balls of my feet were black. I had to really scrub them.
