Abnormal feet odor is caused by many things, here are just a few.  An inherited trait, not changing socks daily, sweat, not taking a bath regularly.  Medicated Columbia Powder can be purchased OTC at any drug store.  He can put it on his feet, put on dry socks and try it for a month to see if it works for him.

Take him to some other people that stink and make sure he knows what he smells like.  Then tell him that he can prevent himself from smelling so bad by using deodorant and such.  Also, let him pick it out from the store.

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!?!?!

When I was fitted for new walking/running shoes and had blisters the shoe guy told me I was wearing my socks too thick and didn't have the correct support.  He told me to put desitin cream or any baby rash cream on the blisters to keep the moisture away. \n It worked ASAP!

Sounds like Athlete's Foot for sure.  There are so many creams out there for it.  Go to the medicine isle for an anti-fungal cream for Athlete's Foot. Lamisil is a good one.  Athlete's Foot can be picked up so easily from sharing showers and floors with another person who has it.  Always avoid going barefoot in public places like a locker room, gym or dressing room.

http://www.cdh.org/HealthInformation.aspx?pageid=P00260\n\n\nThis site may help but if it is infected usually there is an odor and sometimes yellow to greenish pus. This is not what you are going to be told by the doctor but I used something called bag balm. Its an antiseptic that is used on cow utters but is now sold at any pharmacy. My mother in law has a bad one on her foot and the duo derm which is what is usually perscribed wasn't helping and a visiting nurse suggested it. I cleaned the area with peroxide and then I applied a generous amount of bag balm and then wrapped it in gauze and taped it. I left it on until it looked as if it need to be changed. When they are changed too often they reopen and take longer to heal. I swear by this remedy. It worked several times when nothing else did.  Good luck to ya

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:)

Ugh. Sweaty armpit. When you walk by a person, you can't smell their nasty feet with shoes on.  But when you walk by someone with B.O., you can't help but notice it! Especially when you're in an inclosed room! OMG! x0P

The 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.

Gold Bond Medicated Foot Powder.  If they are athletic shoes machine wash, and air dry them.  Add a 2 cap fulls of Chlorox Bleach to the water.  If they are leather take a moist towel, with water and diluted bleach, and wipe the inner soles and insides with the moistened towel.  Let air dry.  Bleach will get rid of any odor!  Bleach kills germs, bacteria, and viruses!  In your shoes lurks bacteria that is causing the odor.  Just day to day sweating in a shoe can cause this.  Make sure you are changing your socks daily!  Also if you are experiencing an itch you may have athletes foot, which is a fungus that can be treated with over the counter meds at your local pharmacists!  Hope this works for you!

If it's a heel problem (on foot) then try some Bio-Oil and Flexitol heel balm. Also worth going for a pedicure to start things off. Good Luck

tell her to spray the inside of the shoes with anti odor spray then air dry it...tell her not to use the shoes everyday...let it dry for at least 24 hrs before using it again...if all else fails, buy new shoes...before putting on socks, make sure the feet are really dry, especially in between the toes(you can dry them with a hair dryer)...bacteria loves moisture, its what they eat...what smells are their feces.

I was in the Army for 9 years, so i've got some pretty good tips on keeping your footwear from stinkin'. What I did with my boots (as you can do with regular shoes), is ALWAYS buy insoles to keep inside the shoes. These will consistently trap any sweat, odor, bacteria. Also, before you put your socks on (always wear socks with shoes), spray your feet with regular underarm antiperspirant (don't worry about wasting your money on regular foot sprays). This really works- I did this on a daily basis. Also, before putting your shoes on, sprinkle a little baby powder (scented or unscented) inside your shoes. Not too much, just enough to 'season' the insoles. Hope this helps!

I tell you to get Certain Dri. You will never sweat from your feet. Eliminates all odor. Has no smell. Has no residue so it does not stain your shoes or carpet at all. It is a roll on you can get at any drug store in the anti-perspirant section. You put it on at night. Go to sleep. Wake up and take a shower. The residue of the anti-perspirant is gone, but you don't sweat or smell at all for a couple of days. And when I say you don't sweat or smell I mean it. I do not have any foot odor.\n\nI would also recommend taking wet wipes and wiping off your feet whenever you take off your shoes.  These do a real good job of cleaning your feet and removing the odor.
