Hi, I am a podiatrist (Dr. Of the feet) and lots of people have smelly feet, so it is nothing to be ashamed of. Here are some tips on stopping the odour.
1. Bath your feet in mouthwash. The mouthwash kills the bacteria which makes your feet smell. Put 5 cap full of mouthwash into a small tub, add some water, but not too much, and then bath them for 3-7minutes. Once finished bathing them, pat-dry with a towel and put on clean socks.
2. Buy grans remedy. This is the only foot deodorant that actually works, it costs around 10-20$ in your local chemist.
3. Bath them in cold tea.
Never put talcan powder in your shoes, it makes your feet dry and can make your feet smell worst if feet get really sweaty. Always clean your feet everyday, and towel pat-dry. And always wear put on a clean pair of socks everyday. And always air out your shoes and your feet, air will destroy the sweat and removes some bacteria.
Thanks,
Dr. C

Of course, wash your feet everyday and change your socks everyday..... Wear 100% cotton socks (they let your feet breathe better), wear canvas or leather shoes (leather with the small holes for ventilation), and when you are home, take off your socks and shoes and let your feet breathe. You might have a fungus problem and should try an athlete's foot treatment, along with gold bond medicated foot powder. Good luck!

the priority starts off with donning footwear without socks. The footwear could be discarded. Then get a clean pair and placed on peds with them (skinny nylon sock that covers a minimum volume of the foot and would not teach) i purchase my daughters peds at Nordstrom, yet they sell them different places. some are too super, and teach with ballet residences so attempt them on. that is amazingly disgusting to have stinky ft, I actual have experienced people who could scent up a room. If she has extremely sweaty ft she will use specific Dry antiperspirant on the backside of her ft at night to assist decrease it.

Wear leather shoes and 100% cotton socks, not nylon. Between the cotton and the leather it allows more air in.

wash with tea tree oil every night. wait at least one hour for feet to completely dry before putting on socks or shoes. and put baking soda in shoes b4 u wear them. and instead of lotion, use shae butter mixed withtea tree oil.

Change your shoes..I had the same problem, and it's because my shoes had no way of getting air in them..I bought some leather loafers that had no air holes at all.. Switched shoes, problem solved.
