Washing Feet in the Shower (1 Viewer)

The best way to wash your feet in the shower is stoned. 

it feels sooooooooooo good to scrub them you don't want to stop

The only time i take of my socks is when I shower. And I have a beautiful right foot. 

The left one has an awful black/yellow potato chip big toenail.  Any suggestions how to clear that up? More washing?

Just pee on them real hard to knock the dirt loose. Like a power washer from Home Depot.

No lie, had a podiatrist tell me I should start peeing in the shower recently. 

 
I get my wife to do it.  Because I am kind of like a t-rex short arms and all.  You know that's why they were always so mad short arms they couldn't scratch an itch or wash their feet.

Foot fungus.

I had to google it, but I was pretty sure I remembered this being debunked. The component of urine that does kill athlete's foot fungus is urea, but it's not a high enough concentration to actually have much effect. Plus, you'd have to stand in a puddle of undiluted pee for a while, even if the concentration were high enough.

i do always drink lots of beer at the jersey shore, though, just in case anyone gets stung by a jellyfish. I think that actually works.

Then my podiatrist is an idiot.  Thank you.  

Edit: he was saying it would prevent it in the future - perhaps that requires less concentration?

yes, but I don't have a chair in my shower, nor do I want one.

I'm a healthy 6'1" 195 lb guy, I couldn't even touch my toes in high school...part of it is my body type...long torso below average arm length.  :shrug:

This is the same excuse you use for not picking up a tab.  We're getting sick of it.

Do you guys really wash your feet? I just let the soapy runoff do its job. My feet never stink and I don’t have any dirt under my toe nails or anything. Unless you’re working landscape with flip flops on, I don’t see the need in washing my feet.

I bet your feet stink.

No need for a chair -- if you can sit like that, you should be able to raise your right foot in front of your left knee while standing up (basically do the same "figure 4" sitting posture, only while standing). Then you can just reach down and scrub as needed. If necessary, you could brace yourself by leaning against one wall of the shower.

sure, I can always squat to wash them, but I'm lazy and thought there was a better option...also, my lower back acts up once in a while.

This has been weighing heavily on my mind. 

Here's how I do it. While standing in the shower, lift your foot on to your knee like you're crossing your legs but you're still standing. I'm almost positive you're allowed to lean against the shower wall if this is too tricky balancewise. Then bend down a little bit at the waist and wash your foot.

I can diagram this if needed.

This is how I currently do it, it's just not ideal...I don't like leaning against the shower wall...it's kind of cold.  :shrug:

Chairs can come in handy in the shower if you know what I mean.  Blue or orange dots I forget which one is which.

I am 6'1" and longwaisted ... I do it exactly how shuke and El Floppo described.

I can agree that washing my feet in the shower can be a little bit of a PITA. But when I feel the need to do it, I just do it. Yeah, it's not as easy as it would've been 20 years ago when I was more supple.

Serious suggestion: you could wash your feet outside of the shower if it's just a "keep 'em clean" thing. For removing dirt or sand ... yeah, a shower or a running bath faucet is best. But just for general maintenance, you could just wet a washcloth or paper towel with some witch hazel (or heck, even rubbing alcohol) and give then a wipedown while seated comfortably on the edge of your bed. The "watery" liquid facial astringents that a lot of women use (Sea Breeze, Noxzema, and a billion others) would do the trick, too, but are more expensive.

 
Thought about this thread while in the shower this morning.   :excited:

I am quite possibly the world's most inflexible human and had absolutely no issues doing a "figure-4" (resting foot on opposite knee, bending over slightly) and washed my feet. 

So yeah... I don't get it.   :shrug:

I did the same.  I saw it as a "Lord of the Dance" move where my outside ankle rests above the opposite knee-cap (there's obviously a lot of toe-tapping that takes place first).  I hardly needed to bend.
