Now I am using a Dr. Scholl's® Odor Destroyers All Purpose Insoles. Now how often should I replace them in my shoes. Once a week, twice a month? It doesn't say that on the wrapping. MY FEET NEED ASSISTANCE!!

You could try putting baby powder on your feet after you shower, and in your shoes. It will help stop the sweat and the odor. You could also use baking soda. Try it! Good LUCK!

Wow, I see all kinds of crazy suggestions for this. First of all, naturally, is good cleanliness, shower and make sure feet are very dry before putting sox on. Second, the shoes should not be old funky ones because they harbor bacteria, if you have say a favorite tennis shoe put sox filled with kitty litter in them over night, dries them out. Next, make sure the shoes breathe, either leather ones or if you have tennies make sure they have some ventilation in them. As for curing fungus on toes or any other area if your feet, buy an inexpensive bottle of hydrogen peroxide, it will have the proper dosage for soaking your feet on the bottle. It is also good for a lot of other things like whitening your teeth, no kidding, if that doesn't work you need to see a podiatrist but I think this will do the trick, don't stop using medicated powder and replace the insoles once a month.

once a week soak your feet in a mixture of water and bleach! ( I did this when I had a similar problem! Wear a different pair of shoes every day! (I own 6 pair) wear cotton socks and swab your feet with alcohol after you shower! you can also use gold bond powder! Also wear only leather shoes so your feet can breath man made materials will make your feet sweat!

baking soda is good for foot odor, also you need to soak your feet in apple cider vinegar at least 2 times a week. It will help ward off the odor and any fungus if any. One more thing buy the gold bond foot powder and put the baking soda or fabric softner in your shoes.

My dad had the same problem and he used to soak his feet in tea bags every night and that cured his funk. My martial arts instructor told me he soaks his feet in bleach and that cures his funk. See if that works.

Had the same problem, my Dr. recommended I use anti-perspirant/deodorant and it works.
