Does anyone have a problem with sweaty smelly feet? What do you do about it?

Answer 1

Most guys and a few grrls get this prob when they reach their teens. Has to do with hormonal changes and is normal.

First, go barefoot as much as possible or wear flip-flops.
Put shoes outside in the sun. It'll kill bacteria that cause smells. When wearing shoes put a dusting of baking powder in them beforehand. Change socks regularly, sometimes 2ce daily. Add bleach to white laundry and ammonia to colored and hang outdoors, not the dryer.
Soak feet in warm water with epsom salt and baking soda, scrub between toes and dry thoroughly. Don't reuse towels.
The trick is to keep feet dry. It's not really healthy to use chemicals like foot spray. Try a mix of cornstarch and baking soda instead if feet sweat a lot.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I have read where baking soda is good for this. I use it for several other smell areas haha, i use it a underarm deodorant and carpet deodoriser and in general it just absorbs smells really well while also neutralising bacteria and creating an environment on the skin that is hard for the bacteria to flourish. Suggest she lightly powder her feet with it after showering and sprinkle some in her shoes (and then lightly brush it out). You could be onto something there thinking that the lotion is making them stinkier, makes sense as the lotion would just make her sweat more and there could be products in there that really help the bacteria thrive. I think you should suggest she try look at the cause for her dry skin rather than trying to treat it at a symptom level, it could be her choice in footwear etc. It was abit cheeky of her to borrow your brand new shoes knowing she has a stinki foot problem.

Answer 3

Wear leather shoes, the leather allows the feet to breath.

Plastic keeps the heat in and causes sweating, also shoes that has that foam stuff built into the sides. Before putting on socks or shoes, rub your feet with baby powder or a foot powder of your choice. Baking soda is good too. Remember too, allow your feet to breath by either changing into sandles or go bare foot when you can.

Answer 4

wear better quality white socks. white socks do not have dye which is one of the main causes of smelly feet. also do not wear the same shoe every-single day allow the shoes to dry out for at least one day. if u do all this your feet well stop smelling so much. if this does not work get a foot powder.

Answer 5

You can use an anti-perspirent stick on the bottom of your foot. Use a gentle one so you don't irritate your feet. There is surgery that can help, but surgery on the feet is complicated and takes a long time to heal so I would not go that route.

Answer 6

Put your sneakers in zip lock bags and freeze them it will kill the bacteria.
Try to get different kind of shoes
Nike tennis shoes are the worst for this problem
Adidas are pretty good
And buy two pairs and rotate them so they have time to dry out.
Your shoes will last longer too
