there is an old saying, "zinc for stink" you just described my dads feet. he started taking zinc supplements and the stink went away. of course we threw away all his socks and bought him new ones, lol.

Work boots are horrible for the feet, because they are stiff leather and steel toe and do not breath. If your boyfriend can switch to a light industrial runner with steel toe, then he should. Otherwise, he should buy good insoles and change his socks often(even bring a new pair to work at change it halfway through his shift). He should then buy some "lamical" cream and put it on his feet. If his feet are really bad and he has fungus on his toenails, he should take lamical pills. But I would try soaking his feet in epson salt first and get rid of all the dead skin before taking pills.

many toxins are released through the feet, and the feet and hands can often be "a barometer" for the condition of the whole body. Pehaps he should consider an herbal toxin flush, which is available from herbal and health food stores. this could have to do with the types of food he ingests, also. talk to an herbologist.

depending on his line of work he needs to keep his feet dry and use bacteria spray in his shoes or get new shoes then keep his feet dry
