If I wear slip on shoes, when one falls off or a take them off, it smells so bad. Everyone smells it! Any home remedies that work?

First, buy a brand new pair of shoes and allow your other shoes to air out - maybe even put some baking soda in them to help absorb any odor. As for your feet, check between your toes for flaky or irritated skin - you may have some athlete's foot going on which often causes nasty foot odor. What you should do is thoroughly wash your feet and let them soak in a mineral bath (like bath salts) for several minutes. When you're done dry your feet and place cotton balls between your toes to get that area really dry. Try using some foot powder and wear shoes with socks for a couple of weeks and see if that helps with the odor. If you still have issues then you need to see the doctor for a better diagnosis.

Sprinkle your shoes with Odor Eaters before you wear them then use Gold Bond on your feet. Your feet sweat alot and that is what is causing the smell.

I had this happen, first off go to a store and buy this small little round ball like deodrizers specifically for shoes they should be next to the shoe cleaners and laces etc. wash the shoes and then stuff them with small rags to keep the shape then put this deodrizers in everytime you take them off and you should be good from then on

odoban. you can get a gallon of it at sam's for about $10 and it will last forever! you can put a dab in a tub of water and saok your feet. you can also use the squirt bottle to clean and sanitize your shoes. also, be sure you ventilate your feet from time to time thru out the day. feet need to breath, so to speak. when you are in shoes that are not well ventilated during the day, your feet will sweat, stink, etc. then complications such as fungus, warts, etc. start to occur.

Please don't laugh at this old Army remedy to smelly feet. Soldiers urinate in their boots and soak their socks in the urine. They then wear the socks and boots for awhile. Supposedly the smell disappears for a long time or even never comes back. the www.peoplespharmacy.com lists this remedy and others.

smelly feet comes primarily from your shoes where bacteria are breeding and millions a second.
remedy 1) soak your feet in hot saline + dettol water for 15
min and scrub for dead skin on your feet sole.
2) start using new shoes once you start step one.
this remedy worked for me 100%

I know someone who experienced the same problem before. What the person did is that he exposed his feet on the sunlight. And that solved the issue. Our feet just need to be ventilated well. Trust me!
Thank you for asking.

Try sprinkling a little bit of baking soda in your shoes. I did this with my son and it worked great.

don't wear a paticular shoe continuously for 2 days.
Or you can try washing your feet with hot salted water
