Answer 2

Answer 3

She needs odor eaters. Also, what does being obese have to do with having stinky feet? A lot of large people don't have stinky feet. Your feet can stink no matter what size you are. Where did you get that from? I swear some of the things you guys come up with..

Answer 4

Well thats pretty rude but funny at the same time. There is a thing you can buy, dunno where but its like a foot deoderant you put on your feet after a bath or something or into your shoe whichever, try looking for it at your local retail store.

there is so much here:http://www.myhomeremedies.com/topic.cgi?...

Try These Things First

Foot odor is usually caused by bacteria, and the only way to really get rid of it, is to get rid of the bacteria. An even better strategy is to prevent the bacteria from growing in the first place. Products like charcoal-impregnated insoles are not really that helpful, because they do not get rid of the source of the problem. Here are some things that will help:

Wash your feet thoroughly every day, with a good antibacterial soap. Scrub them hard with a wash cloth or body brush to remove all of the dead skin cells. Take extra care to scrub the area between your toes.

Dry your feet immediately after bathing, especially between your toes. Some people use a hair dryer to make sure their feet are completely dry.

Change your socks frequently, especially when you are exercising.

Whenever possible, do not wear the same shoes two days in a row. Try to let your shoes dry out 1 or 2 days between wearings. (it would be best to do this for skates too, but not many people can afford to buy 3 pairs of good skates!)

Sprinkle talcum powder or one of the commercial foot powders (which sometimes ARE talcum powder) into the toes of your socks to help keep your feet dry and discourage the growth of bacteria. Some people like to use baking soda, but others say it feels gritty against their skin.

If you believe your feet perspire excessively, you can rub an underarm antiperspirant into your feet to help them stay dry. If it contains Aluminum Chlorohydrate it will be even more effective, but wash it off right away if it starts to irritate your feet.

If none of these things work, you can try applying a 5% or 10% solution of Benzoyl Peroxide gel to your feet, to decrease bacteria growth.

More Ideas

Soak your feet every day, in a solution of black tea and cool water. Some people believe the tannin in the tea has a deodorizing effect, and they believe it makes the sweat glands shut down temporarily.

HOW TO DO IT: Brew 2 tea bags in 2 cups (1 pint) of boiling water for 15 minutes. Add the tea to 2 quarts of cool water, and soak your feet for 20 to 30 minutes. To convert these measurement units to metric units, see Converters for International Skaters.

Some people take zinc supplements to prevent foot odor, because they believe foot odor can be a sign of zinc deficiency. Get your doctor's opinion before you try this, and ask for a dosage recommendation, so you don't take a toxic amount.

Some people drink diluted liquid chlorophyll to prevent foot odor, because chlorophyll deodorizes other parts of the body, inside and out. Check with your doctor before trying this, because chlorophyll can have side effects.

Treatment for Severe Problems

If you have a very serious sweating problem (called hyperhydrosis) or a very serious foot odor problem (called bromohydrosis) your doctor may suggest that you try one of these treatments:

Aluminum Chloride with Ethyl Alcohol

This medication is more commonly known by the brand name Drysol®. It is very effective, but it can cause skin irritation. Most doctors will tell you to apply it at night and wash it off completely the following morning.

Prescription Antibiotics

If you have a very difficult foot odor problem, your doctor may want to prescribe an antibiotic like 2% Erythromycin or 1% Clindamycin, applied each morning and at at bedtime. These medications will be effective in killing most odor-causing bacteria. (IMPORTANT NOTE: Using antibiotics should be avoided whenever possible. Frequent use can make them ineffective, because the bacteria will develop a resistance to that particular antibiotic).

Gluataraldehyde

This is the main ingredient in many sun-free tanning products. It will stain your feet brown, but it can be effective in reducing excessive perspiration, when applied to the bottom of the feet in a 2% to 10% solution.

Acetic Acid Foot Baths

Acetic acid foot baths can be effective in drying up sweat glands, if treatments are given 3 times per day.

Electrode Therapy

This treatment is called iontophoresis. The feet are immersed in a pan of water and 15 or 20 mA of electric current is applied. Iontophoresis is not a cure for excessive sweating, but it usually provides temporary relief, if applied frequently. It works by "injecting" electronically charged ions into the skin, causing the sweat glands to shut down temporarily.

Botulism Injections

Injecting tiny amounts of botulism toxin into the sweat glands under the skin can sometimes dry up those glands for several months. Up to 20 injections may be needed, but the treatment will work for up to nine months. This treatment is similar to the botulism injections used by cosmetic surgeons to decrease the appearance of wrinkles on the skin.

Surgical Solutions

Surgery is the solution of last resort, but for a very small minority, it is the only

Answer 6

I have had the same problem and this actually works.  Get a spray bottle and mix 50/50 H20 and Rubbing Alcohol.  You can spray the inside of her shoes but you will need to do it a few times after each dry.  Also have her spray her feet everyday after she showers.  I tried it and it worked seriously.

Answer 7

1. Make sure she wearing socks if she has on shoes (meaning anything other than a sandal).

2. Get her some flats those are good for women who stand a lot and keeps their feet from getting all smelly and what not.

3. Make her wash her feet lol.

Answer 8

try this one it worked for my friend:

Ingredients

    * 2 tablespoons coarse ground sea salt

    * 1/4 cup baking soda

    * 3/4-1 cup white distilled vinegar

    * 3 quarts hot water

Directions



    

      Pour salt into a bucket large enough for both of your feet.

  

      Add just enough hot water to dissolve the salt.

  

      Add the baking soda to the bucket.

  

      Add a bit more of the water to help soda dissolve.

  

      Slowly add the vinegar. It will react with the soda so don't add too quickly.

  

      Add remaining hot water.

  

      

      Soak feet for 15-20 minutes.

      Use your favorite foot moisturizer and enjoy your clean smelling feet.

A knive is just good. Lool

Kidding. Here are some tips. Please choose best answer ;D

Our feet stink due to the attack of bacteria. These creatures feast on the dead cell and skin of our body and love to dwell in dark, damp and wet places. Thus, the more your feet perspire the more they become habitable for bacteria. These bacteria multiply in sweat. Their family grows and they produce waste in the form of organic acids. It is these organic acids which are behind the feet odor.

However, some people’s feet smell more than others. It is because their feet sweat more. Due to the excessive sweat a bacteria called Micrococcus sedentarius form in their feet. This bacteria produces volatile sulphur compounds along with organic acids. The sulphur compounds have a strong and awful smell and these are the reason behind those foul odor feet.

If you are also suffering from stinky feet problem, follow these tips. These will help you get rid of the bad odor of your feet and you’ll no more be embarrassed in front of anybody. Below is some of the home remedies for stinky feet:

Keep your feet clean. Bathe your feet everyday. You can even soak your feet in water. Do not forget to dry your feet properly after washing.

Wash your shoes and insoles. Some shoes and insoles are washable. So it’s better to use those things and wash them regularly. This way you can get rid of your smelly feet.

Avoid shoes made of plastic. Plastic shoes do not let the skin of your feet come in touch with the air. The feet cannot breath and they acquire a foul smell.

Try avoiding tight shoes. If your shoes are too tight the feet will sweat more.

Do not use the same shoes everyday. Wearing the same shoes everyday make them smelly. Wear shoes alternately.

Let your feet come in touch with air. The more your feet breathe the less will they smell. So be barefoot for a considerable time, especially at night.

Use disinfectant sprays on your feet. You can also wash your feet with anti-bacterial soap.

Use socks made of cotton. Some wools and special kind of knits made for athletes are also good. These kinds of socks absorb the sweat of your feet. Less sweating will ensure less smell.
