You probably have some bacteria living under the dead skin layer. Soak your feet in an antiseptic about 3 times a week for about 2 minutes each time. I use a generic mint-flavored mouthwash when my feet smell. I know it sounds really wierd but it does start to work after about the 2nd soaking. You do need to continue with it though if you truly want to keep the smell away.

You probably have Athlete's foot, a type of fungus. Here's what you should do:
1. Go to the pharmacy and purchase some anti-fungal medication for athlete's foot.
2. Wash your feet gently, don't scrub. Use your favorite bath soap. Wash your feet 2 times a day if possible and make sure it's thoroughly dry. Especially between your toes.
3. Wear cotton socks and bring many pairs along with you. The moment it becomes damp, change them.
4. Wear well ventilated shoes if possible.
5. In your home, be bare foot if you can. You must be bare foot when you go to sleep, don't wear socks or shoes.

I believe you soak your feet in tea. Although I'm not quite sure how many tea bags you use. But a few months back on Oprah, Dr. Oz was on and there was a young woman who had the very same problem. Nothing she did could get rid of the odor. He showed how to do the tea thing and it really worked. She was surprised because she too had tried everything. You might be able to go on Oprah's website and find out exactly what you need to do. Good Luck

I think if you don't wear socks, you're shoes are going to smell. You should buy new shoes and wear socks all the time with them. Also, I know when I start to get athletic foot, it starts to smell. As soon as I'm able to get rid of it, it doesn't do it anymore.

sounds like you could have athletes foot. you should wear socks with your shoes to prevent moisture . when your feet are always damp you will be more likely to get this.try anantifungal foot spray or rub your feet with vicks vapor rub and put socks on at night when you sleep this will clear it up. don't stop treating too soon or it will come right back

Many have had the problem. I found that Desenex eliminated foot odor, cut down the problem of sweaty feet , reduced the problem of smelly socks and reduced complaints to zero.

Oprah had a show where a girl had the same problem. I don't know exactly what the doctor said to do, but it worked for the girl who had this problem. Look on Oprah.com and go under Dr.Oz, the regimen should be on the website.

A table spoon of high strength liquid chlorophyll every day will deodorise your body and foot odours before they come out of your pores.
