Today, and pretty much every day, my co-worker takes off her shoes while working. The smell of her feet makes me dizzy. I don't know if she's oblivious to the fact that her feet stink, or she just doesn't care. It's affecting the quality of my work. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I spent most of the day with my stinkiest co-worker's soggy shoes level with my face. FML
Today, my new office mate offered to let me smell her deodorant. This was after clipping her nails, before pulling out her needle point project, and while complaining how overworked she is. FML
Today, like every day she works, my roommate once again put on a ton on perfume before work because she doesn't shower. She's gone, but this smell will be here for hours. FML
Today, after 7 hours on my feet at work, my boyfriend picked me up. Relieved, I took off my shoes. Suddenly, he looked up and sniffed, asking, "Is that your feet?" I'd forgotten to put on socks in my rush to work. He made me put my shoes back on and sit in the back, windows open. FML
Today, I was in class and I smelled what I thought was month-old trash coming from a student in front of me. I politely ignored the smell, only to realize a few hours later that the persistent smell wasn't coming from every student in my university, but was from my shoes. FML
Today, when my roommate asked me what was wrong, I told him that something I ate was making me feel sick. He works 10+ hours a day, and I didn't have the heart to tell him that the putrid smell of his feet was making me nauseous. FML
Today, while on lunch break, my fat, old co-worker walked into the break-room. I managed to block out his perverted heavy breathing, but had to leave when he began emitting a terrible odor that smelled like cheesy, sweaty molding feet. I barely held onto my lunch. FML
Today, I opened my front door to be greeted by what I can only describe as the stink of death. After moving furniture and lifting floorboards, frantically searching for whatever had died, I finally discovered the actual source of the stench - my girlfriend's feet. FML
Today, despite using deodorant religiously and showering twice a day, my roommate still smells so bad that every time she enters the room I become physically sick. FML
Today, I realized that my flatmate showers so little that the furniture she uses smells like BO. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Surreptitiously spray her feet with fragrant disinfectant every time you walk past her. Soon she'll be smelling like Spring Flowers and Ocean Spray, and people will be begging her to walk around barefoot.

You should talk to her about it.

I had a coworker like that once ... We put the febreeze stand-alone air fresheners in the floor by her desk all the time.

Kindly talk to her and ask if she'd please put on her shoes. If she refuses, explain your problem without making a scene out of it (which she might??) If she still doesn't come to her senses, talk with your boss about. It shouldn't be too much to ask to have people put on their shoes while they work if it affects the other people... I know it's not easy to do this, but hopefully you'll be successful.

Just ask her politely to stop taking off her shoes, and tell her how it is distracting. If that doesn't work, bring the situation up to your boss. Good luck OP!

Send her email be polite say you may not be aware but your feet stink and every one at work is talking about you and don't want to embarrass you by talking to you in person. Also tell her there products out there to help odor eaters, gold bond foot power, foot sprays also new shoes will help. Good luck no one what to smell some one else nasty feet smell.
