Soak and wash your feet thoroughly every day. Then use a foot powder like Dr. Scholl. That will solve the problem. Good luck.

Answer 2

OK. So I too have this stinky feet issue. Well not exactly stinky but somewhat funky. Big funky. I do practice proper foot hygeine. Foot powder helps just a little. I tried some other stuff but they did not produce much of a relief. Then low and behold the idea of using this particular home item dawned on me. I prepared it in a way I think that it might work and it does. So now my smelly feet s has reduced drastically. I think the funk will go totally because I have just started using this home-made item. What is it? Bizzy or Cola Nut In my culture we use bizzy or cola nut is the right name. It is the same cola nut that they take whatever from it to make the soda “cocoa cola”. This nut in my culture is used to absorb toxins and poisons. If a person foot got punctured by a nail then bizzy was applied to pull out the poison. If a poisonous substance was ingested then the bizzy tea was administered to absorb to poison. Some people drink the bizzy tea maybe one or two times per week just to remove toxins from the body; which of course helps to cleanse our inside and boots the immune system. It helps me with bloating and flatuence and upset stomach. Now this tea is high in caffine so those who are intolerant to caffine should know their limits. To absorb toxins from food I drink this tea at night way in advance of bed time as it is stimulant from the caffine. I steep about a teaspoon to a hot cup of boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Longer if I wanted it to be stronger. NO INGESTION OF BIZZY OR COLA NUT IS REQUIRED FOR SMELLY FEET. Since this product absorb toxins internally and externally the thought came to me to use it on my smelly feet. The dried cola nut is hard so here is what I did. I grated the cola nut and then put it into a food processor to make it into a powder. Or those processors that can grind or powder things. If your processor is really powerful then you might not have to grate the nut first. The cola nut is tough so you don’t want to damage the blade of your grinder if it is not powerful. After I made the powder I put it into a container with a lit . When I am ready to use it I get a piece of cotton and applied the cola nut powder well to my feet. I powdered the top of my toes, between toes and under toes and foot bottom. I also made sure that I wear cotton socks. My feet did sweat but it was far less smelly on the first day. I am using it for a week now and I realize that my feet does not smelly anymore. My feet did not even sweat today. Another thing I do is to put my shoes out in the sun for a couple of hours when I am at home and that does help a great deal. I also pour just a litte of the bizzy or cola nut power in my shoes for extra protection. Where can you get cola nut. I am not too sure. You could probably try the health food store, a West Indian store or store that sells food that comes from South America. Now I am also going to experiment with charcoal. It cannot be made into a tea but otherwise it is used to absorb toxins like the cola nut. Charcoal is in supplement form. There is one negative side to the charcoal. It is black so it will cause me feet to look real messy. Cola nut power almost looks like a shade of face powder that women use. Well for those who know cola nut and can get it - give this advice a try and let the board knows if it worked for you

Answer 3

Your new shoes might not be very "breathable", especially if they are a manmade material. You should purchase "odor eaters" inserts that absorb sweat and odor, they can be cut to fit the inside of your shoes.
Be sure to wash your feet with soap and water, then sprinkle some Dr. Scholls powder or spray on them. It will be much better.
You can buy the above products at a walmart or at like a drugstore near the pharmacy and health product section

Answer 5

There are many different types of foot sprays/deodorants available at any drug store. They even sell them at the 99 cents only stores. I am not sure if you have one in your area.

Answer 6

Your feet may be sweating which can cause the odor. I think they sell some foot powder and somehow it makes your feet not sweat. I think.
