Toes: Why are you rubbing your finger between your toes? Try putting on a disposable glove and rub your fingers between your toes. If the glove smells like vinegar have a doctor examine your toes. If the glove doesn't smell, try again without the glove and see if your fingers still smell. If so please see your doctor about your toes. Please let me know what develops.

Oil and Not Vinegar.: When you sweat, it's composition can contain many different types of chemicals. Some of these chemicals include fats and proteins. There are bacteria that release a particular type of acid that help break down the proteins. When this acid is concentrated, as it is often times in the foot, is can smell like vinegar.
