My husband has developed some stinky foot odor! No matter howmuch he washes them, they are still stinky. He says they aren't itchy or anything (like with athlete's foot). We threw out his old tennis shoes and the new ones are now stinky! What will combat this gross odor?

Wash feet thoroughly. Add baby powder every 2-3 days and shake in shoes. NEVER wear shoes barefoot. Always use clean socks every day. Shake a bit of baby powder in socks before putting them on. Keep feet dry (I even blow dry them after a shower/bath.) Don't walk around the house barefoot (spreads/picks up fungi.) Mop/vacuum floor frequently. Dry off feet IN shower/tub before stepping out. Keep shower/tub clean (disinfect.) Take a bath with a capful or two of bleach in the water (it's only chlorine -- like at the swimming pool.) Avoid cross contamination points (like at public swimming pool locker rooms, etc.) Use a dry deodorant spray on feet.

Without him know get the athleets foot powder and put it in his shoes every day there are so many different types of athleets fot out there and they don't all make your feet itch.
Another thing to do is have him soak his feet in 1/2 peroxide and 1/2 water for about 30 min a night. It really helps to cleans the pours and everything and has healing ailments.

Johnson's foot soap. The stuff is a powder you will mix with warm water. Let your feet soak for 20 minutes. You'll see how great this stuff is as soon as you use it the first time! Good luck!

'Odor Eaters" may help solve this problem. These are shoe shaped pads that slip into your shoe and help absorb odors. You can usually find them at pharmacy's and in the medicine Isle of stores like "K-Mart, Wal-Mart, or any grocery store". Also, there are many good foot powders that help as well...he may want to try a combination of both. Good luck with this!

You will need to get an anti fungal creme from the drug store. Apply this to his feet, including between the toes, for at least four or five days. Eventually this will permeate his socks and shoes as well and help eliminate the order. The lack of itching or burning does not mean that there is not fungus at work.

Throw out ALL his old shoes and socks. Buy some Tea Tree Oil or Tea Tree Oil Soap , soak his feet in a mixture of warm water and Tea Tree Oil twice a day. If this doesn't help, see a doctor, there could be something wrong.

If odor eaters don't work, I'm out of ideas. There may be nothing that can be done.Like body odor, it may be part of that person permanently.
