The fact is he needs to be told, and you would be doing him a favor. If he smells as badly as you say he does, he is offensive to other people. Say, "I don't want to hurt your feelings, but you have a very bad body odor and need to shower and use a good deodorant daily." At first he may balk, but leaving items around as "hints" is, in my judgment, the cruelest form of telling him. Be open and honest with him. He needs help. Don't abandon him now.

It's better to come from you then have him walking around stinking without knowing it.  It's possible he needs dental work done.  There are also stomach diseases that cause bad breath too.  It's time to have a sit down and just straight talk about it.  He might seem hurt but in the end he'll be grateful you told him.

Your feet may stink because you wet them and then put shoes on without wiping them off. or it maybe because you wear no socks or wear socks and your feet swet and as they keep sweting and you just keep putting the shoes on and swet again it stays in your shoes so that is how they begin smelling. So wash your shoes good every now and then.

Try sprinkling it well with baking soda, give it a few hours, or wait overnight, then vacume it out. \n     Putting a box of baking soda in your frig also keep odors out.

Try these breath-of-fresh-air remedies for the all-too-common problem of smelly feet.\n\nUsing a soak made from tea bags eliminates the odor from smelly feet, because the tannic acid in the tea literally tans the hide.  You take a couple of tea bags and boil them in a pint of water for 15 minutes. Then remove the tea bags and pour the pint of strong, hot tea into a basin or a large pot filled with two quarts of cool water. Soak for 30 minutes daily for a week or ten days and you'll have no smelly, sweaty feet.\n\nIf your feet are really smelly, examine the bottoms... If you have whitish soles with tiny pits, then you probably have a condition called pitted keratolysis. And since the organism that brings on this condition is the same species that causes acne, you can get relief by using an over-the-counter acne medication with 10 percent benzoyl peroxide, such as Oxy-10.\n\nYou can buy special foot deodorants, but here's a lower cost alternative: Use an underarm antiperspirant, which controls odor and wetness.  Use a roll-on that contains the active ingredient aluminum chloride hexahydrate at least twice daily.  Aerosols aren't as effective, since a lot of their oomph is lost in the air.\n\n\nHope this may help you...  Good luck!!

I found and copy/pasted some good stuff for you:\n\n- Practice good foot hygiene to keep bacteria levels at a minimum.\n\n- Bathe your feet daily in lukewarm water, using a mild soap. Dry thoroughly.\n\n- Change your socks and shoes at least once a day.\n\n- Dust your feet frequently with a nonmedicated baby powder or foot powder. Applying antibacterial ointment also may help.\n\n- Check for fungal infections between your toes and on the bottoms of your feet. If you spot redness or dry, patchy skin, get treatment right away.\n\n- Wear thick, soft socks to help draw moisture away from the feet. Cotton and other absorbent materials are best.\n\n- Avoid wearing nylon socks or plastic shoes. Instead, wear shoes made of leather, canvas, mesh or other materials that let your feet breathe.\n\n- Don't wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. If you frequently wear athletic shoes, alternate pairs so that the shoes can dry out. Give your shoes at least 24 hours to air out between wearings; if the odor doesn't go away, discard the shoes.\n\n- Always wear socks with closed shoes.\n\n(Those are all preventative measures.  If you still run into persistent problems, there are more aggressive treatments you can look into, like electrolysis.  For severe, persistent cases a nerve in the foot can even be cut.  For less severe cases, there are home remedies... like soaking your feet in strong, black tea for 30 minutes a day.)

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.

Sounds like he may have "trench foot" you only get that from never drying out your feet. Have him dry out his feet, change his socks daily, if he's in Iraq, send him tubes of Lotrimin AF. I had trench foot once and it really really sucks.

Sez who?  I always have to change diapers for my baby girl (and that includes the stinky ones :-) )\n\nI became a first time father less than a year ago.  One piece of good advise that a friend gave me was this:  As a father, no matter how many diapers you change, chances are, the baby's mother would have changed 10 times more diapers than you. So, stop complaining and do your little bit :-)\n\nCongratulations on your baby boy!

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!

Make sure you get the UNSCENTED ANTIPERSPIRANT (not just deodorant)STICK. Some are white but make sure is says goes on clear  OR DRIES CLEAR. Those perfumes they put in the scented kind like ocean or baby fresh etc. make odor worse. Try SURE, SECRET, ARIDXX, unscented antiperspirant stick. There is nothing wrong with you!!!!\n\nOh, use a good deodorant soap like dial, safeguard etc. Maybe this will help!!!

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.

Have him soak his feet in some warm soapy water.  Make sure to wash real good between the toes.  Do this every day, and ALWAYS wear clean socks.  Also, get some spray on desinex.  The heat he is feeling is the metobolic activity of bacteria feasting on dead skin cells on his feet.  Been down that road, it comes with having sweaty feet.  It might not hurt to wash feet in the middle of the day, and put on fresh socks.  Good luck.

Ok I could be wrong here but try some kitty litter in a paper bag and leave for a couple hours and see what happens. I know you can do this with paperback books to remove the musty odor from them.
