use a product with tea tree oil(kills fungus and smells nice) in it, rub it on feet and thoroughly on toes/nails after showering. i like a product by 'hollywood beauty' sold as a skin and scalp treatment in the african american beauty section of the pharmacy. DO NOT use straight tea tree oil. it will burn your skin.

Try alum powder, put lotion on your feet(to keep the powder on your foot), then the powder, put socks on. Do this at night while you sleep, it just seems easier. This will sort of dry up your feet, so they don't sweat so much, your feet will not produce the odors that are so embarrasing and just plain stinky! Repeat for about a week and as needed. It works!

Use a few Lemon Tea bags, seep in almost boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Add tea to a small foot bath with some cool water to reach a good temp. Soak feet for 15 minutes and rinse. Tea Tree Oil can also help prevent foot smells. I use these as part of my boyfriends pedicures.

Stinky feet? Prepare a mixture of vinegar (NOT apple cider vinegar), and hot water, and soak feet for 5-10 minutes. Rinse; clean with soap to remove the vinegar smell.
The stink will be gone! Repeat each time you remove your sweaty shoes. Works everytime.

Dead skin is what holds bad foot odor. If you get rid of the dead skin you get rid of the odor. My husband had really bad foot odor and we tried EVERYTHING and the only thing that worked was washing his feet with antibacterial soap and using a pumice bar every night before bed.
