there is bacteria living on the surface of your skin, when you sweat the bacteria feed of the sweat and emit a gas that is the smell, so no bacteria means no smell, keep your feet clean and wear clean socks put baking soda or something in your shoes and you should be ok, if its really bad talk to your doc or something maybe he can prescribe something for stinkafootus!?!?!

foot odor is caused by bacteria digesting sweat, there are two main ways to reduce the stink. You can:\n\n    * decrease the amount of bacteria on your feet\n    * decrease the amount of sweat that collects on your feet and in your shoes \n\nReducing the level of bacteria is really a matter of cleanliness. To control the bacteria population on you feet, you should:\n\n    * wash your feet with strong anti-bacterial soap\n    * wear clean socks\n    * don't wear the same shoes everyday - give a pair of shoes 24 hours or more to air out before wearing them again \n\nTo reduce the amount of sweat that collects in your shoes, you should:\n\n    * wear well-ventilated shoes instead of very constrictive shoes, such as boots\n    * always wear socks, preferably made of cotton or other absorbent materials that absorb a lot of the sweat so the bacteria can't feed on it\n    * change your socks a few times a day\n    * buy some absorbent Odor-Eater type shoe inserts\n    * apply an antiperspirant to your feet

Try soaking your foot in Epsom salts and warm water, making sure that you dry your foot completely.  Wearing sandals is helpful along with cotton socks, which you should change regularly.

Dunk your feet in a pail of the hottest water you can stand for at least 15 minutes.  Scratch and let out the eczema ooze in the water.  Pat dry afterwards.  This will rid you of secondary infections and at the same time let the toxins out of the soles of your feet.

They say that if you rub your feet with baking soda it helps. Also i am sure you can find all sorts of medicated powders in your local pharmacy. If it is a real problem talk to your doctor about it maybe he/she will have a medical solution to it:)

Everybody is familiar with this phenomenon. Most of us have a friend or relative who can clear out a room when they kick off their shoes. And even the sweetest smelling person can do a decent job stinking up a pair of shoes by running a few miles in them. So what's going on here? Why do your feet have a stronger odor than the rest of you does?\n\nThe main thing that feeds foot smell is sweat. With more than 250,000 sweat glands each, your feet are among the most perspiring parts of the body. In one day, each foot can produce more than a pint of sweat! Sweat is basically just salt and water, though, so it doesn't have a distinctive smell of its own. The smell is actually caused by bacteria on our skin that eats the sweat and excretes waste that has a strong odor. It's perfectly normal to have bacteria on your skin, and it doesn't ordinarily produce a noticeable smell, but sweat attracts bacteria and gives them a whole lot to feed on.\n\nOf course we sweat all over -- our hands have a comparable number of sweat glands, for example -- and most of the rest of our body doesn't particularly stink (the armpits being a notable exception. See How Sweat Works for details.) So what's different about our feet? The answer is our socks and shoes. The sweat our feet excrete can't easily escape into the air like the sweat our hands excretes -- it all collects on our skin and in our socks. The bacteria love this dark, damp feast and have a sort of feeding frenzy. When you take off your shoes, the smell that hits you is all the bacteria excretion that's collected on your feet and in your socks and shoes.\n\nThe main reason some people's feet (or more precisely, some people's socks and shoes) smell worse than other people's is that some people sweat more than other people. This is just one of the many variable physiological qualities of human beings. This is also why sometimes your feet smell much worse than at other times -- it all has to do with how much you sweat.\n\nSo, since foot odor is caused by bacteria digesting sweat, there are two main ways to reduce the stink. You can:\n\n    * decrease the amount of bacteria on your feet\n    * decrease the amount of sweat that collects on your feet and in your shoes \n\nReducing the level of bacteria is really a matter of cleanliness. To control the bacteria population on you feet, you should:\n\n    * wash your feet with strong anti-bacterial soap\n    * wear clean socks\n    * don't wear the same shoes everyday - give a pair of shoes 24 hours or more to air out before wearing them again \n\nTo reduce the amount of sweat that collects in your shoes, you should:\n\n    * wear well-ventilated shoes instead of very constrictive shoes, such as boots\n    * always wear socks, preferably made of cotton or other absorbent materials that absorb a lot of the sweat so the bacteria can't feed on it\n    * change your socks a few times a day\n    * buy some absorbent Odor-Eater type shoe inserts\n    * apply an antiperspirant to your feet \n\nIf your foot odor is really bad and these solutions don't help much, then you should see a doctor. There are a number of prescription drugs that can treat serious foot odor, some by killing bacteria and some by reducing foot sweat

You have to completely strip the polish, wash the outside of the boot with saddle soap with a soft bristle brush, Then you spray in inside of the boot with Lysol, Put in a Odor eater foot pad, Finally when you are NOT wearing them you put a cedar shoe tree. That will help with the odor, and absorb the moisture of wearing them.

An anifungal cream is good. Tinactin and Lamasil are the ones that I have use with the best results. Fungi usually come where there is too much moisture. Make sure that after you come out of the shower to dry your feet completely. And whenever possible air out your feet by removing your shoes.

check with a doctor first.  Then you could try panty liners.  They are very thin and comfortable, but you can change them throughout the day to rid yourself of the smell.
