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.

Sometimes that just happens.  If it is a lot of sweating that can not be controled by just store bought deotarent, try Maximum.  Google it.  It helps.

I have used the product for over a decade, and have had no unhealthy skin responses from using it.

Odor's caused by moisture and bacteria in various places on the body (i.e. under the arms, between the toes etc) where there are sweat glands and lack of air flow.\n\nIt can be caused by the foods you eat, what you wear and the deoderant you use (or don't use).\n\nOdor is sometimes hard to control but never unavoidable, just try to be a bit understanding. If you need to get rid of an odor someone left behind (this used to happen to me at work all the time) then try this spray called "Approach" (www.approachit.net) it's good stuff, lasts a long time and you just spray till the odor's gone. Works like a charm. :)\n\nJust try not to sound so racially motivated with a question like that.

I think you have what I have.  It's called hyperhidrosis, it's a dominant genetic trait that's caused by an overactive nerve that controls the sweat glands.  Do your feet sweat pretty badly too?\nThere are a few medical options, including surgery (but from this thing on hyperhidrosis on 20/20 about 10 years ago, the side effects of the operation weren't good-- the people starting sweating profusely from the face and groin instead!).  Go to the dermatologist and talk about options if it's really bothering you.  I tried a few topical things, but it felt really uncomfortable for me, as if my hands were trying to sweat but couldn't (which is probably what it was doing-- I'm pretty in tune with my body though).\n\nI've held hands with my exes, and they were nice enough to look past it (although I wouldn't if I were them!!!).\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperhidrosis\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007259.htm\nhttp://www.curesweatypalms.com/Hyperhidrosis.shtml\nhttp://www.hyperhidrosis-usa.com/hyperhidrosis.html\n\nGood luck!  I hate this condition too, but it's better than some other genetic conditions!

Remedy for foot odor.\n\nTo eliminate foot odor, soak your feet several times a week in one-third cup of natural apple cider vinegar added to a small pan of warm water.\n\nOr, use tea. The tannic acid found in tea can help eliminate foot odor. Make a pot of tea, without adding sugar or lemon, and pour it into a dishpan. Wait until the tea is no longer too hot, then soak your feet in it for ten minutes. Soap and water should remove any stain the tea leaves on your feet.\n\nSprinkle baking soda inside your shoes to absorb moisture and odor.\n\nGet 15 to 30 milligrams of Zinc per day either alone or in your Multi-vitamin. This should reduce or eliminate the odor within a week or two. The zinc may make the skin more resistant to the bacteria causing the odor. Don't take more than 30 mg. of zinc without medical supervision since high levels of zinc can interfere with the absorption of copper and can damage the immune system.\n\nShoes made with natural materials like leather breathe better than man-made materials like plastic, allowing heat to escape.

Try cocoa butter. Or what you can do is buy Bag Balm. A pic is in my sources but before you go to sleep, put it on your feet, put a plastic bag over your feet and then put on some socks. Make sure you take off the bags before you walk and wash your feet because it's like vaseline. It comes off very hard.

1. Get and exfoliating foot soap (or even some plain sugar works) and scrub your feet until the dead skin peels off.\n2. Rub a good, thick lotion with natural oils (like sweet almond, olive oil, tea tree oil) in until it is all absorbed. \n3. Apply a second layer and put on socks. Do this every time you put on your socks and shoes, and before you go to bed.\n4. Unless you have a serious skin condition, your feet should immediately feel more moisturized.

Several things:\n\n1. Make sure you're using the right deoderant. I've been through three brands (I won't say who) because the first two didn't react well with my body chemistry and left me worse off than going without. Try different brands and see if one is better than the other. Also try spray vs stick vs roll on etc.\n\n2. Check your diet. Garlic and onions seep through the skin adding to door, as do several other vegetables that can cause gas and bodily odors. Don't have to cut them out entirely, but you might want to moderate your intake.\n\n3. Check your clothes. If you're sweating into your sleeves, your body chemistry may not react will with the fabric you're wearing. I had a shirt that, for reasons unknown, stunk like hell when I started to sweat. Finally figured it out and threw the shirt out. Haven't had a problem since.\n\n4. Make sure your body stays cooled inside and out. Heavy material in your clothes, too many layers, bad ventilation etc can all cause you to perspire more. Also keep hydrated. You may pee a bit more often but your body's own cooling system will be better fueled. (Incidentally, using the bathroom more often also helps your body cool off). \n\n5. Consider body sprays. Not something that will mask the odor, but something that will eliminate it. I'd suggest this stuff called Approach. I use it and it works great. www.approachit.net It's natural and safe, and it eliminates odor.\n\nGood Luck!

1) Clean feet thoroughly. Bacteria stinks.\n2) Check for fungus. \n3) Use pleasant-smelling foot spray.\n4) Air out shoes in the sun and let baking soda sit in them for a while. If that doesn't help them, get new shoes.

Sounds like you need to moisterize your hands better. What I reccomend is getting some intense therapy lotion. And pair of gloves. After you take a bath/shower put the lotion on and then the pair of gloves. Wear overnight. My boyfriend has the same problem with his feet. This truely helps. And if it dosen't, call some nail salons to see what they reccomend. They usually have alot of experience with it comes to manacures and problems. All else fails go to a doctor.

Ok, I know this sounds silly, but it works....just apply some underarm deodorant to the bottom of your feet.  If they get really sweaty....use a deodorant with anitperspirant.

if your feet stink(sos to be so blunt) then you may well have athletes foot. go to your g.p. and ask for some canestan foot powder, it works really good. you need to give it a week or so and then you will start to see results, you also need to change your shoes reguarly(dont wear the same ones day in and out) and get as much fresh air to your toes as possible, if your not to comfortable in going to your doctors then you can buy this powder over the counter at your local chemist.

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.
