- I think I started the subject with a request for suggestions. I
- received several but have not tried them (thanks to a good ski
- season getting started.)
-
- Among the recommendations I recall:
- wear socks.
- wash in tomato juice
- wash in milk
- foot powder (tried with marginal success only)
- flaming burial at sea (too far from the ocean unfortunately.)
-
- I have very sweaty feet and don't wear socks and they are very old
- shoes so I may ultimately have to replace them. Whenweever we are
- in a store my girlfriend urges me to buy newe ones.
