solodorous

Some individuals produce a caustic, rank odor when their feet are encased in artificial materials such as polyester, acrylic, and other manufactured fabrics. The odor is generally contained by the artificial material but under specific conditions, such as exercise, heat in excess of 82 degrees Fahrenheit, removal of the shoe but not the sock, removal of the shoe when the sock is permeated with odor, etc., THEN the resulting smell can cause upper respiratory problems, inflamed nasal passages, inflamed lungs, a loss of the sense of taste, and in severe incidents loss of sight and sound.
