Also, current GF has confirmed that my feet definitely do not smell.

My hot water isn’t working and I’ve washed my feet twice in the past three weeks (in my GF’s shower when staying at her place, just the trickle down method). My feet still don’t smell and I really am not kidding myself. I don’t sweat much in general, don’t get greasy hair, etc.

Washcloth and soap, one foot at a time. Bend each leg at the knee and wash away. I’m 69 and so far no physical limitations other than it makes my feet very slippery so I’m grateful for the rough shower stall surface.

I have a nubby scrubby foot cleaning mat on the floor of the shower. A squirt of body wash, do the twist a few times to clean the bottoms, use the clean soapy bottom one foot to clean the top of the other, switch and repeat.

Its also nice to have them to help avoid the dangerous slippery floors.
