sorbolene, wear socks to bed. Make sure you get a foot file, file away dead skin before you moisturise. Also, when you bathe, use a moisturising gel not a soap :)

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.

Try a lotion that's made specifically for cracked, dry feet. Look for an ingredient called "urea" (or "chemically synthesized urea"). That helps the skin keep moisture from escaping into the air, and it's been great on my elbows. Urea occurs naturally in our skin, but if we don't have enough, it may cause dry skin. Use it every day and within a week you'll be surprised at the difference. Urea is also used to treat eczema.

Baby powder works, I use it when I play Basket Ball to absorb the sweat.\n\nYou may want to use some medicated foot powder like Gold Bonds if you are really having an odor problem.

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.

I suggest you to have a relaxing Indian massage (that is called ayurvedic) and, after that, a massage on your feet. It is Chinese and it is called "reflexology".\nAfter that drink some green tea, listening to a very soft music.\nAnother thing that is great is to watch a very funny movie and laugh. Laughing is one of the best thing you can do to relax.\nGood massage!

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!
