Even though my son washes his feet, his foot odour just about brings the house down each day? Are there any REALLY effective solutions that are tried and true out there?
Thanks for any help

The traditional way of curing smelly feet is to dissolve a small packet(probably $1) of sulphur powder into a bucket of HOT(85 degrees n above) water. Have him soak his foot in the bucket of water until the water cools down to body temperature. The dissolved sulphur will follow the water in diffusion into the cornified layer(Dead skin) of his feet. That is the nursing ground for the fungus. Sulphur will stay in his dead skin in extremely trace amounts and as it is not exposed into the blood stream, it is absolutely safe. This phenomenon will greatly reduce smelly feet as the absorbed sulphur will kill the fungus that invades. My mum used to "boil" my feet like this in sulphur water... Thats why I am telling you now. Its proven.

Short of cutting his feet off.... first find out if he has some type of infection that is causing the odor. Otherwise, start investing in foot powders and/or sprays. Sometimes the material of a shoe can make foot odor worse - I've had that happen with some sandals. You could try having him soak his feet in some type of solution - anti-bacterial, epsom salts, or whatever.

No I have no cure but he must dry his feet very well
& go bare foot often
go to a chemist & try the things they suggest
change his shoes daily & wear a different pair as often as he can & air his shoes in the sun
it will be caused from his shoes i reckon because if he was bare foot always his feet would not smell

my brother had the same problem. His feet literally smelled like vomit or worse. He tried everything from Cotton sock to bleach water. The only thing that worked was alum. You can get it in the grocery store in the spice aisle. I know it works because he can now take his shoes off in my house without people gagging.
Also make sure he cuts and cleans his toenails that will also cause foot odor.

In addition to powder, try changing socks often. Allow the feet to "breathe" by wearing loose-fitting shoes. The problem is the trapped moisture. Moisture + warm temperatures + dark areas = prime area for fungus growth. This will lead to athletes' foot if untreated.

gold bond powder in his shoes, have more than one pair of shoes, dont ever wear the same ones two days in a row, you can spray them with febreeze , it helps, and see a doctor, there may be a medical reason.

in the adventure that they are inexpensive shoes that can make the scent. I were given my son one pair of commonly used shoes that were the walmart style sandles that were leather-depending and his feet stunk so undesirable I threw them out and were given him the nike pair and his feet didnt stink. Its particularly the non-call manufacturers.
