    Yes, indeed - eucalyptus samples set aside for Beats and LC.  First one I've tried is almond, it's lovely - just like marzipan.

      For all of you guys that enjoy/use Dr. Bronner's products there is a documentary "Dr. Bronner's Magic Soapbox".  Check it out, educate yourself.

            Something I also 'recommend': putting leather inlay soles in your shoes. All my sneakers have a leather insole. Much better for your feet. Keeps your shoes clean as well.

                You get a little less sock fuzz with leather insoles

                I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                      Nah leather works better to prevent odours. I never am bothered with smelly feet, even after 8-10 hours of running about the workplace during a hectic day, but the leather helps with that.

                      I don't even know what 'sock fuzz' is  :-\

                        I hate sock fuzz! I used to be a nutcase when I was in my sneaker obsession days and would clean my soles with a toothbrush after every wear as well as de-fuzzing the insides. I know, I am a creep.  ::) These days, I don't mind it at all but do pull it off if it gets noticeable…

                          It's the fuzzies you get inside of your shoes from rubbing against your socks and…ohnevermind...

                              For insoles, try these:
                              http://www.amazon.com/Pedag-187-Longitudinal-Metatarsal-Womens/dp/B001E5CLOS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=shoes&qid=1269900371&sr=8-1

                              Pedag Viva from Germany. Have never had better insoles and am thrilled they are available in the US. Price is totally justifiable. They are more sturdy than any other insoles I've had. The activated carbon works super well at keeping your feet fresh and the orthopedic shape works wonders to keep them from tiring out.

                                  They are your feet. If you treat them right you won't need any orthopedic gadgets if ever you live to be 80. The Pedag insoles also exist in a completely flat version for people who think they will lose some honor if they wear insoles with good arch support. 😉

                                    Oh - I treat my feet with the utmost respect…they get to walk and run a lot , take nice baths, swim in special lotion,

                                    But seriously - the only shoe I ever wear with extra insole is Red Wing...

                                      Of course, some shoes don't require it. For those that do require it these Pedag are darn good. Especially since they work against the smell, too, being in a grooming and hygiene discussion and all. 🙂
