I'm considering buying T for Toes with my next Lush order. I wear a lot of shoes without socks, especially as summer grows nearer. I don't hear too much about T for Toes, so I'm wondering if it's an effective product. I've only occasionally used any sort of power before.
Has anyone tried it? Would you recommend it?

It's not a very sexy product, but it is a useful one.
I recommend applying it with a powder brush. In my experience, if I shake too much directly on my feet, my feet sweat even more and turn it into a gross, pasty mess. A light dusting is all you need for maximum effectiveness.

Ew! Thanks for the tip. I think I'm going to order it. I just wear a lot of heels to work w/o hosiery and it's not the most comfortable thing.
Do you mean powder brush, like a cosmetic face powder brush?

Yeah, a big powder brush would work well, it's a lot easier than trying to sprinkle it out of the container evenly...

I originally got a sample of T for Toes for hubby, and now we both like it. I find it's great for keeping my feet fresh and dry when I wear sandals barefoot, or heels without nylons, and for keeping his work shoes from stinking. I hate wearing nylons, so T for Toes is a must for special occasions when I want to wear a skirt and heels, it keeps my feet from getting sticky or sweaty :P

Does it work if you sprinkle it in your shoes, to keep your shoes from smelling gross? I have this thing where my feet smell fine, but my shoes get nasty. It's sad. Would it work for that?

This is the product that got my husband hooked on Lush. He shakes a little bit in his shoes and it helps him a lot - given he works in kitchens which are by necessity hot and sweaty places, it's been a godsend - not just for his feet, but for my sense of smell ;)
I agree with an earlier poster - the point isn't to cake it on, the point is to get a light dusting (not just to avoid ickiness with clumpy powder, but also because if you're wearing sandals it's obvious if you put too much on!) - but when you do just have the light.
I like the light lime scent, and actually in the really really hottest days in summer, before they came out with all these new 'deoderant' powders ... a little of it in the more hot spots of my body elsewise (ie. underarms, cleavage) was quite helpful.

I just bought T for Toes and the verdict is still out. I had bought another etailers (La Diva Bella) foot powder but I think corn starch or something in it has made my favorite sketchers smell like doritos. So I'm hoping T for Toes works better.

Mmm, Doritos.
My husband also used to be a chef and when it'd get hot in the kitchens- which it always does- the chefs would take boxes of corn starch and put it in the freezer to cool off. Then they would shake the starch all over- under their shirts, in their pants, in their shoes. I guess it worked pretty well other than the fact that you're coated in corn starch I suppose.

I'm thinking about buying this, as I get pongy shoes in the summer. At the moment I am using powdry, as I didn't find it a very effective deodorant and it does the job beautifully! I've also, in the past, sprinkled crumbled crystal deodorant in my shoes and it soaks all the pong right up :)
