Answer 1

try some yummy lotion (like bath and body works 'fresh vanilla') or maybe some talc powder...maybe you switched to a new pair of shoes or different kind of socks in the last couple weeks and that made the difference? good luck.:)

Answer 2

To prevent foot and shoe smell wash your feet two times a day and dry them. Make sure to wear socks or hose with shoes! Bare feet will always make tight fitting shoes stink.
To get rid of it once the shoes already smell try talc powder or any kind of foot odor powder in from your pharmacy store. Sprinkle it on your feet, inside socks and shoes.
If your shoes stink, don't mask the odor, you should hand wash them if it's allowed with your kind of shoe. Then leave them to dry outside in the sun or if there is no sun, then hang them above a funace vent to dry.

Answer 3

Are you wearing a new pair of shoes made out of a different type of leather? or socks that are different? If not, you may have a fungal infection on your feet- are they itchy? As soon as you can get an appointment see a doctor to check your feet out- in the meantime, wear only cotton socks- any synthetic or nylon will make your feet sweat and make them smell more, and put baking soda in your shoes.

Answer 4

You possible have fungus First toss your shoes if you can't wash them. Then before you buy new ones start soaking your feet in really warm water and 1 cup cheap vinegar after a month or so it should kill the fun gas smell This is even good for killing jungle rot on Vietnam vets.

Answer 5

Summer is over and I know it takes awhile to digest that! When you bathe, take extra care with your feet, which are NOW, covered in those socks! Right? Sweaty, stinky socks! Clean your feet everyday, and go barefoot, when you can, let them breathe,as you do! Boots, Socks, Stinking OLD shoes,are Nasty! Cheers! Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year, to you too! XO

Answer 6

rob an alcohol on it to dry, it stimulates stinks cus of the bacteria.
and try to buy socks that prevents smelly feet (anti-fungal , anti-bacterial).
On a daily basis, wash your feet with antibacterial soap and dry them thoroughly. Always wear a clean pair of absorbent socks, preferably cotton. Spray your feet with a natural antiperspirant and sprinkle foot powder, as directed, into your shoes.
Try not to wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. If you are a sneaker wearer, alternate between your sneakers to give them a chance to dry out. If at all possible, go barefoot or wear sandals as much as you can.

Answer 7

what has changed besides the smell...new shoes, new soap, new socks, anything new?
anything happen to the shoes...get wet and not dried enough, rubber shoes, cloth (or at least shoes that can breath)
feet sweat just like yiour palms do when you get nervous...but maybe you have a fungus in your shoes...try an antifungal spray into the shoes...and if you can, wash the shoes in the washing machine with a little bleach...
dry them completely and try it again...
good luck

Answer 8

put your shoes in a plastic bag and put them in the freezer for a day or so
Home remedy's
Brew two tea bags in one quart of warm water and soak your feet for ten Minutes. Do this every night until the problem is gone. Then you can soak them periodically. Tea is terrific at keeping your feet odor free and it also will keep your feet perspiration free because of its tannic acid.
or soak your feet in a pan with PineSol

Answer 9

Don't worry, you're not alone! Well, I can't think of anything other than washing your feet that would get rid of the smell.

Answer 10

Try soaking your feet in vinegar: You might have picked up Athlete's Foot. If you have, perhaps Gold Bond powder or something sprinkled in your shoes can help too.

Good luck!
