try spraying your feet with right guard, our whatever deodorant you currently use. the foot doctor gave me this advice many years ago. it seems to work well for me.

Hey,
If Excessive sweating is your problem you'll find here vert good tips: http://hyperhidrosis.toptips.org



About 2% to 3% of the general population experience excessive sweating a condition called hyperhidrosis which can occur with or without a trigger. The most common type is called primary (or focal) hyperhidrosis and it has no known cause, although it seems to run in families. You may have a different type of excessive sweating called secondary (or generalized) hyperhidrosis.
This means that your symptoms may be due to an underlying medical condition or disease (e.g., nerve damage or a hormone disorder), or due to a side effect of a medication you are taking. Talk to your doctor.
Regards

Answer 4

smells comes from bacteria. one of other bacteria environment is sweat. you can do two ways, first stop sweating and second kill those bacteria. to prevent much sweat you can to use natural fabric like cotton or silk. strongly suggest you NOT to wear any synthetic fabric. why ? because natural fabric help skin to "breathe" and better absorb liquid. to kill bacteria you can ask for doctor suggestion or simply wearing anti bacteria socks.
my favorite brand are MUNDO. I think it specially made for male. i prefer the kind that have finger like glove. so my finger feet not touching each other, its help to keep it cool and it reducing sweat also. i can wear it for 4 days non stop and still smells nothing.
tips: if it doesnt help you try to use dry stick deodorant.. it is for arm pits but I use it if I'm going for hiking or tracking.

Answer 5

try to wash your feet when you shower really well with antibacterial soap- the kind of soap you would wash your hands with.
it's more powerful than regular body wash and it obviously will kill the germs that mix with your sweat, causing the odor.
...good luck with that one!

oh yeah, and on your lunch break, why don't you take some time to wash your feet... like in the bathroom, if you can? ...problem solved! :)

also, i know what you mean when you wear stockings that your feet slip out.
have you have tried these heel grips?:
