I have noticed some people seem to have more of a problem than others. Why?

Some people's feet sweat more than others, either because their feet just put out more sweat in general, or because the type of shoe they are wearing doesn't allow their feet to "breathe" as well as another shoe might.
There are many things you can do to treat smelly feet. Buying shoes that breathe better is one. You can also use foot powders, which help absorb the sweat, or even regular underarm deoderant/anti-perspirant. You can buy inserts for your shoes that absorb the sweat and odors ("Odor Eaters" is one well-known brand). And I've also read that soaking your feet in warm tea also helps them sweat less (the tannins in the tea have some sort of effect on the sweat glands).
Everybody's feet stink sometimes, though, so I don't really think it's much of a big deal!

Everyone sweats and has some sort of odour. Foot odour can be the worst. I find that sprinkling bi-carb soda on feet and a little in your shoes helps and also using a peppermint based foot gel works to eliminate odour as well. I used to have really bad foot odour when I was a teenager, but now, I have none at all.
Hope this helps and have a great day/night!

Every living human body is as unique as fingerprints---each with varying degrees of health; some are, others inch closer to death.
Same with foot odor: there are a number of fungal disease infections that can cause foot odor--some can be spread quite easily. That ought to bring comfort to those with a foot fetish, now wouldn't it????
These foot conditions can be treated with help from a trained PODIATRIST, best recommended by one's doctor.

boil four regular tea bags and let cool.then soak your feet in the tea , the acid in the tea kills grems and odors. This old remedy worked for my husband whose shoes had to stay outside.good luck.
