My 2 year old son goes to daycare for about 8 hours and his shoes are on the entire time. When we get home and I take off his shoes, PEE-YEW! They are stinky!! Is this normal? I thought kids weren't supposed to smell like adults do?!
YES! My toddler room most all get stinky feet! ...and always have! Sometimes it's because of the cheap plastic shoes/sandals. some kids need to switch shoes every other day and let them breathe!
Well if he wears Crocs then yes.
Bug, that was Hilarious!!
My son had stinky feet from birth! lol. I kinda liked it, but it went away. :( No more stinky feet. Boo! Yeah, I think its normal.
scrub those little feet and switch his shoes so they have time to air out. They are perfect breeding grounds for bacteria.
Are you buying vinyl shoes? If so they do not breath this causes smelly feet as well as atheletes foot. Always buy leather or canvas shoes.
Yep! My mother told me mine even stunk as an infant! My two year old has very stinky little feet.
Shoes + sweat = smelly feet.
Shoes that breathe or sandals can help.
It gets worse when they are teens.
Its completely normal. My 3 1/2 yr olds feet smell horrible.
Two of my 4 kids have always had super stinky feet. I guess it runs on my husband's side of the family.
Hello, When one of my kids was little, she had the same problem. We had to make sure that she had socks which were 100% cotton. Also, I wash our tennis shoes in the washing machine and dry them outside in the sun. The cotton socks absorbed the sweat and helped with the odor.
Good luck with your precious little boy.

According to Dr. Oz (come on we all listen to him) the best thing to do is to soak feet (child or adult) in a tea solution...warm water and tea bags if you do it for a while they should never have stinky feet. But leather shoes so their feet can breathe. Also, I was told when my kids were little that a child needs 3 pairs of shoes as it takes 2 full days for shoes to completely dry out!
