A stripper sells her smelly used heels online to random men - and makes double what she paid for them.<br /><br />Leah Beth, 25, works as an exotic dancer in a strip club in Magaluf, Mallorca, Spain - and gets through a lot of heels doing it.<br /><br />She used to bin her shoes when they got worn and smelly - until she realised that could become a side hustle for her.<br /><br />For the past year, Leah has been putting her smelly second-hand heels on Vinted.<br /><br />She says men rush to purchase them and even say "the smellier the better" - and some even make bizarre requests such as sticking gum and cigarette butts to the bottom.<br /><br />At €80 to buy new, having to replace her worn shoes every three months was a big expense, but when she now sells them on Leah makes that back instantly - and more.<br /><br />Her last pair sold for €170 and she has vowed to never throw away an old pair again.<br /><br />Leah, originally from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, said: "Working as a stripper, I wear them for hours and hours and eventually they stink.<br /><br />"It's such an ongoing expense - continuously buying these shoes.<br /><br />"When I realised there were people out there actually looking for dirty smelly shoes, I started putting them up for sale.<br /><br />"I don't make thousands from it but why spend money on new shoes when you can get them for free, with a bit extra too?<br /><br />"It never occurred to me before but now I'm thinking, I've been dancing for seven years - all those shoes I've thrown away over the years that I could have sold."<br /><br />Leah first noticed there might be a market for smelly old shoes after uploading some normal clothes to Vinted a year ago.<br /><br />She started getting messages asking if she had any shoes to sell - and it became clear there was a demand.<br /><br />Having sold just a handful of pairs so far, in each case it only took a matter of hours for interest to flood in.<br /><br />She says people ask her how many times they've been worn - because for them, the smellier the shoes, the more appealing they are.<br /><br />One man inquiring about a pair recently on sale asked if she would stick a piece of chewing gum and a cigarette butt to the bottom of them.<br /><br />She said: "He said he wanted to chew the gum.<br /><br />"I said he'd have to pay an extra €50 for it and left a note when I sold the shoes saying 'eat your dinner'."<br /><br />While she sells her old club heels on an as-and-when basis, she has an arrangement in place with one man who likes second-hand trainers.<br /><br />Whenever Leah needs a new pair, he'll pay for them for her - if she sends him her old sweaty ones in return.<br /><br />She said: "I just have to promise I don't wash them.<br /><br />"He's so chuffed with that arrangement too - he believes he has the better end of the deal.<br /><br />"I'm financially comfortable but you can never have too much money."<br /><br />Sometimes she gets timewasters who pretend to be interested, just to speak to her.<br /><br />To combat this she speaks bluntly to ensure the conversation won't stray beyond the business transaction - and has no problem ghosting people.<br /><br />While she has no intention of making it into a full-time business, she encourages other women to hunt in their wardrobes.<br /><br />She said: "There are people who might want to put more time and energy into it.<br /><br />"There's room to go into selling things like gym trainers, socks, pantyhose.<br /><br />"Or I do also get a lot of requests for pictures and videos of my feet, walking around, getting them dirty - even stepping in cake.<br /><br />"Once you get past the fact it's kink and fetish content, it's just like walking along the beach barefoot."
