How to stop stinky, sweaty feet this summer

Now that temperatures are creeping into the 80s and 90s, it's time to break out the summer footwear! Flip-flops, clogs, ballet flats -- you name it! If you can wear it without socks, it's fair game for the next three months.

While all these footwear options are great for convenience, they can make your feet sweat -- which means they'll stink.

You might have tried adding odor absorbers to your shoes, or using foot powder -- both of which can be effective. But, according to the Dr. Oz (that guy who's on Oprah all the time), the best cure for smelly feet is simply soaking them in a pot of brewed tea. (Yes, tea -- like Lipton's.) Do for 30 minutes a day, everyday for a week, and the tannic acid in the tea will reduce both sweating and smelling.

It seems a little strange, but it's better than making up an excuse every time someone asks: "What is that smell?"
