I worked in the oil field for years and the oil sealed my boots and my feet got pretty bad,and a friend told me to try foot powder with a lot of zinc oxide will kill all the fungus that is enhancing the problem. Some of the fungus ointments work some. the Zinc oxide is what it takes.

Not Deodorite but i bough something called Deocrystal. Just looked at the chemistry of it and it is Alunite.
I uses it occasionally for under arm perspiration. It does seem to work and does the same job and as well as an aluminium -free perspirant.
Another big cause of foot odour is trainers. They are a crime to feet really. Pure sweat boxes. Try not to wear them more than a few days a week, it should make a difference. Leather shoes are best if you have to have enclosed footwear.
Something i was tried when was in my teens was to regularly wash my feet under a cold tap. That helped too.

I ordered this last week for excessive underarm perspiration that has been a problem for 3 years. After the first day of taking deodorite, my problem was gone. I am continuing to take it(on day 3 now) and I haven't even had to use deodorant. Amazing product!!!!!!

replace shoe insoles with a washable floor vinyl,take them out daily and wash them,as well as feet at least twice a day.
try some oils like tea tree oil,peppermint oil,etc,from your health store.also tea tree talc. there are small metal disc inserts for shoes that are said to remove odour,see below for supplier.change socks twice daily .

I have heard bicarbonate of soda is very good at absorbing odours, it's natural, cheap & it works..
I think you would have to sprinkle some on your shoes or your feet for alittle while..

Apparently if you wipe them over with surgical spirit after washing them, that will stop them smelling - worth a try anyway!
Good luck
