Payless, macys, walmart etc sell these little socks that are cut in a way that they are not visible, they cover heel bottom of foot. and toes. Try those. I had the same problem and used to try putting sprays etc, in shoes and it made it worse. When i found those socks the problem stopped becasue my feet didnt sweat. Hope it helps

Here's what you do...go get some Odor Eaters inserts for your shoes, OR, sprinkle in just a little bit of baking soda. The baking soda won't stop you from sweating, but it will help absorb wetness and smells.
If you're having a sweating problem, then you need to apply antiperspirant to your feet after you shower. This really will help. Or you can find foot powders meant for this, but I found that regular antiperspirant (the kind I use under my arms) works really well.
Also, it would really help if you used those little socks. They help absorb sweat and keep your feet dryer, which means less smelly!
:) Good luck

Try the following:
1) before putting them on make sure your feet are absolutely dry - even between toes.
2) rub on foot powder
3) try sprayng foot spray on tissue and wiping the insides of the shoes.
4) dont store your shoes in the shoe cabinet immediately when you get home - let them air out.
5) try leaving you shoes in the sun once in a while to let them dry out.
6) when storing them in a shoe cabinet, try placing potpourri bags inside each shoe
7) Try spraying a little Lysol on the shoe, let it dry then place in the shoe cabinet or slip them on.
Good luck!

your foot will sweat as much, but the baking soda will absorb the odor and some of the moisture. also, there's an insert called "odor eaters" that you keep in your shoe. it might make them a bit tight, though.

They have special foot spray to prevent smell and sweat so I would recommend that. I use it for my heels just in case because if it's a hot day I don't want them to get hot and icky.

or
All-Day Foot Spray Sally Hansen (I use this one, it smells like Vanilla)!
