How do I get rid of smelly feet?

Question

Already tried baby powder.

Answer 1

I read in a magazine that you could use underarm deodorant, so I purchased the type I regularly use to try it... and it works. The type I use is a roll on type, and it is baby powder scent also. To make sure you don't mix them up, you can label them. One for feet, and the other for your underarms! Don't laugh, this really works!

Answer 2

Buy anti-fungal powder and foot spray. Wear only new or bleached white socks. Odor-eater socks work good also.

Be sure to wash your feet at least twice daily.

You may need new shoes, Try the anti-fungal powder first, in your shoes.

Answer 3

It is easy and I have had great results with these steps.

Wash your feet with an anti bacteria deodorant soap when you normally bath.  I have used "Safeguard" brand of bar soap to bath with for over 30 years and it does neutralize foot order among others.  Athletic shoes or any foot wear using synthetic and natural rubber (latex) make my feet stink.  My feet just do not breath well with these types of shoes.  When I need to wear tennis shoes I try to buy ones made with as much leather material as possible.  Wear socks especially with athletic shoes.  My feet sweat more when I do not wear socks as it traps air and moisture inside the shoes.  Some types of water proof leather used in making shoes and boots also make my feet sweat more.  I try to buy socks made with "Coolmax" or made from materials that act like Coolmax.  Wickers is another brand of moisture wicking underwear and socks that work well and also prevent body bacteria from growing.  Rotate the foot wear that you wear each day.  Do not wear the same shoes two days in a row and use cedar shoe and boot trees even in tennis shoes.  If your foot wear gets wet do not force dry them. Let them dry at room temperature.  Take out any removable innersoles and dry seperatly. Replace any removable innersoles every six months or sooner. If you have really sweaty feet spary an underarm deorderant-antipresprent on your feet before you put your socks on. Then use foot powder inside your footwear.  These solutions really work.

Answer 6

Hi, my ex-husband had the most smelly feet.  We found that a product called Boracic Acid (think I spelt it correctly) was an absolute god send.  All you had to do was put about a teaspoon of the powder in each shoe and the smell just disappeared, even in really old and very smelly sneakers.  Only thing is that it was not readily available, we only found it in chemists (and I'm talking about 7 years ago).  If you can find it give it a go

Answer 7

get some canesteen (anti fungal) and rub it in every morning for a few days, wear the shoes you usually do, at night make sure the shoes dry out, sprinkle a bit of bicarbonate of soda into them..   it worked for me

Answer 8

Answer 10

I saw this on Oprah - It's  Dr. Oz's recommendation, and those who've tried it say it really works:    Soak your feet in lukewarm, strong brewed tea!   Soak for about 20 minutes then rinse everyday for a week.    I think it's the tannic acid that does the trick.   And afterall, if Dr. Oz recommends it, it must be good :)Good luck.

Answer 11

The odor from feet is typically caused by lingering bacteria inside shoes.  To ward off this offensive and somewhat embarrassing help issue, try wearing 100% cotton socks which will help absorb the odor drawing it away from the foot.  Next, do not wear the same paris of shoes 2 days in a row.  This will allow any bacteria-laden moisture that is in the shoe to completely dry out.  Sprinkling medicated powder on your feet will also help.  It goes without saying that your feet should be washed and completely dried daily.  Good luck with this very common issue.
