I’m in desperate need to find a remedy or product for foot and shoe odor. I wash my feet daily and shoes weekly but my feet sweat alot and just smell so bad. (Think mens work boots smells 
) I can literally smell my feet/shoes while o have my shoes on and I’m embarrassed knowing others probably can also. Please help.

I use Gold Bond instead of odor eaters powder in shoes. I find it helps the smell much better.
Put baking soda in your shoes or talk to your doctor. They can prescribe you something for it

Gold bond the blue kind
Wear white socks only, buy a new pair of shoes when u get new socks.
My boys have stinky feet too. I spray alcohol in their shoes. The smell comes from bacteria. Sometimes it was so bad I had to pour alcohol in them and let it soak. The alcohol evaporates and will dry on its own.

Buy cheap listerine style mouthwash wash feet twice a day with soap n water. Then wipe them down with mouthwash…try removing or reducing sugar in your diet
Try spray deodorant, like Armand hammer
Put baking soda in a coffee filter and tie it up with a bread tie. Leave it in your shoes every night. This works for my sons stinky shoes.
I doke mine in baking soda vinegar and wRm water
Spray the inside of your shoes with water protector this will help from them absorbing the sweat.

Make sure your socks are cotton and not that stretchy polyester crap. Just that does wonders for my boys.

Soak your feet nightly in hot black tea. Works like a charm. I
Soak feet in apple cider vingar or peroxide at least 10min. Longer if you can. For maybe a week. For your shoes wrap in garbage bag and stick in freezer overnight or longer. Kills the bacteria and wear cotton socks. I like to use Deodorant on my feet too
I just got paid $6600 working off my laptop this month. And if you think that’s cool, my divorced friend has twin toddlers and made over $ 14200 her first month. It feels so good making so much money when other people have to work for so much less.
This is what I do… https://IncomeSource505.pages.dev
Sprinkle baby powder or whatever powder you like in your shoes. Or you can put tea bags in your shoes. I prefer the powder method though.
Lume deodorant!!! It says you can use it on your feet. I know it works well for underarms.
Put baking soda in you shoes, cover the insoles well, and put them in the freezer overnight and dump out the baking soda in the morning. (It kills the bacteria.) If you can pull up the insoles and get the baking soda above and below the insole too, that is even better. Do this at least once per week for a few weeks until the smell in your shoes is gone and as needed after. And a good antifungal powder applied on your feet, antifungal powder spray between your in toes, and a little extra powder put down into the toe of the sock. Clean cotton socks daily, change once or twice daily if they get sweaty while you are wearing shoes. And when you don’t have to wear shoes, wash your feet thoroughly and dry between the toes before walking around in the house. Either sick and let them air out or if you can’t sit, then wash feet and put on clean cotton socks again only when they are thoroughly dry.
soak your feet in mouthwash and water. spray fungus sppray inyour boots , only wear white socks . use bleach to wash with the socks.

Be sure to be using high-grade cotton socks, either WHITE or unbleached (if you can find that). Helped my Hubbs out a bunch💕

If you can take the sole out take a ankle sock and turn it to where the bottom is covering the top of the sole you can take that off and clean every day. I sprinkle foot powder in mine and then put sole in ankle sock helps alot
Go see your doctor. There are treatments to lessen perspiration. It probably won’t be covered by insurance but it will be worth it. I had laser treatment on my underarms. Under stress, think arguing a motion in court where losing means a 10 or 11 yo kid gets kicked out of school and separated from the friends they’ve grown up with, I would sweat through layers of clothes before treatment. After treatment, it is so much better.

I know this sounds odd. But check your ph levels. Or use a ph balanced wash. I’ve had deodorant completely work against me.
You have to use 100% cotton socks, Lysol spray your shoes (you have to actually kill the fungus so washing them won’t technically do that) use peroxide on your nails, in between your toes etc. take your shoes off as soon as you can to prevent sweating. I don’t have this problem but my son did and the smell went away almost instantly and it’s been years since 
Soak your feet in freshly made strong black tea for about an hour three times a week.
Tea bags in the shoes overnight. New socks and treat the feet with anti fungal

Detox foot soak.
Detox your system and pull the impurities from your system out of your feet.
Lume is supposed to be great for this! You can buy the soap and deodorant in a lotion form! It stops bacteria stopping the smells! I hope this information helps!
Put the shoes in bags and freeze to kill off the living bacteria. Do this at least once a week to keep at bay. Daily use odor x in your shoes… it helps with the sweat and odor.
Cotton socks and baking soda or gold bond powder
Sounds odd but check your PH levels. Deodorant and body washes used to work against me. Try PH balanced products.
Also when not wearing those shoes…place out in the sun. That helps.
Hormones out of wack?
But I’ve heard Lume works very well at containing odor.
Baking soda. Also you may need the boot spray that kills mrsa and bacteria. Sweat makes bacteria grow, causes infections, and produces odors
We have a few people in our home that have the same problem. I’ve attached a photo of 2 products that we use in our home.
I hope it helps. Good luck.
Try kareasol food cream Walmart
I’d stay away from fragrances. Stink Free by 2 Toms is good. I think that’s the name. It’s odor free and pulls odors out of shoes. Take the inserts out at night and spray the shoes and insoles and dry overnight.
Lume works for me but if the odor is in the shoe you still have to pit a powder of get that smell out first
Coconut oil. Use white cotton socks only, rotate shoes so they have the opportunity to dry fully, put gold bond powder in shoes.
We use this for the shoes themselves which helps a lot.
Make sure you are NOT wearing polyester socks.

Do the shoes dry properly? Mildew smell can be “activated” by getting wet again (through your sweaty feet.) Tinactin spray and odour eaters powder or spray both work well. Switch your socks too. All cotton if possible.

Don’t put lotion between ur toes. Like ever.
Drink chlorophyll. I drink a cup of water with 15 drops a day. I swear you don’t even need to use deodorant if you drink it religiously.
As someone said above. Change your diet. Drink more water. You could try bentonite clay on them to help. It draws out bacteria that causes smells. You just mix it with water (you can add Apple cider vinegar to it) let it dry, then wash it off. Covering it up it with sprays and powders won’t get rid of it. But flush your system with water…
Lume deodorant for all your smelly parts

Do you wear sock? Wearing socks helps control the smell in shoes. They make socks for almost any shoe now that can’t be seen. Put the foot powder in the shoes also. It helps absorb sweat and smells.
Always wear 100% cotton socks.
You can put any of your shoes that stink in a zip lock bag and put them in the freezer, say for a week at least, the freezing temps kill the bacteria that causes the odor. Then take from the freezer, let them warm up and sniff them again to see if they still stink, if so, put them back in the freezer.
All great advice you can also put dry herbal teabags in your shoes/boots overnight camomile or lemon
Shetiga Northcutt is correct. With my son, we also used Gold Bond every single day. I washed his shoes weekly, in a pillow case for protection.
Also, see a Dr. They can get to the cause & help that way.

Put panty liners in your shoes to absorb sweat & combat odor.
You can get Botox injections in your feet or take pills for hyperhidrosis if it’s that serious too.
Put deodorant on your feet if that helps. For a natural solution I like the crystal “rock” deodorant if you don’t want the regular stuff; Mitchum makes heavy duty deodorants too.
Wear thick, moisture-wicking socks to help when you can. Surprisingly wool socks do a good job.
Also check your diet. You can take chlorophyll to neutralize odor too.
Not sure if they help, but there are large teabag-like pads you put on the bottom of your feet at night that supposedly draw out toxins. I’ve seen them in a bunch of catalogs so shouldn’t be hard to find.
My sister soaks her feet in white vinegar and water, to keep the odor away. About two teaspoons of vinegar to a gallon of water nightly
Change your socks multiple times a day. I had this same problem and I would literally change socks three times four times a day. Wore open toed shoes as often as I could and little by little the smell started fading, my feet still sweat a lot but nothing like they used to, I still change my socks two times a day but it’s worth it to not have that smell. It does take a bit of time and work to get it under control.
Spray Lysol in them not alot just a flash
Tea tree oil. Rub it on your feet and sleep with socks on. Works overnight. It stinks but works. Make sure you clean your shoes before using after treating yourself. Vinegar is a good odor neutralizer for cleaning your shoes. Hope this helps
Soak your feet in the original Listerine (the amber colored stuff) for about 30 minutes
