does he have over active sweat glands? it may not be noticable but his feet are sweating...go to a doc and ask for a special anti-persperant...you put it on the area, wrap it in plastic wrap and put on socks, it works wonders! i have a gland problem under my arms and i would do this once a week or every other week at night and i wouldnt sweat at all! give it a try, its not expensive and some drug stores (medicine shop) carry it with a rx!

Soak feet in Listerine(kills bacteria) once a day for 10 min. until the problem goes away. Sprinkle baking soda in the sandals daily. I would also use a mixture of half vinegar half water in a spray bottle and spay shoes daily (this will neutralize the oder).Just hold your nose till the problem is under control.

Clean the sandals often.They are absorbing the sweat and dirt and thus the stink. Clean the sandals either by washing machine or soak them in warm soapy water after you scrub them. Hitting them w/ fabrize between cleanings will also help.

Have him soak his feet in water with 2 Tablespoons of bleach..Then have him spray his feet with deodorant. Air and spray his sandals.. Foot odor is usually from bacteria. Kill the bacteria and odor goes away. Baking soda and charcoal are also good to put in shoes.

Add a few drops of vinegar to half a bucket of luke warm water and ask ur son to soak his feet in it for about 10 minutes.

I use this peppermint foot spray from the Body Shop. There are also deodorizing foot powders available, but the foot spray leaves less of a mess.

Sally's beauty supply has a product called "heel to toe" foot deodorizing spray and a foot deodorant stick. It really works good.

If you don't want to let him in, then don't!(joking)
My suggestion is: try not to wear socks when you are wearing sandals.

eh i suggest u bring him to the doctor and see what they say it could be a fungal infection? to be honest i cant see it being anything else. bacteria that lives on our feet does make it smell not matter how often we wash them
