RE: Remedies For Stinky Feet
A couple of things you might try for stinky feet. This also works for body odor. Go to your health food store and buy liquid chlorophyll. It cost about $5.00 and last quite a while. Take a couple tablespoons about 1x a day, add it to just a little water to make it easier to drink. Or take it straight. This should help. You can try juicing 1 raw potato and drink all the juice once a day. This also helps with acne even bad cases. If you have a bad case of acne try drinking potato juice 2-3 times a day until it clears up. It usually takes 2-3 days.
At the slight break out juice again. The potato has to be raw. I have heard that teenagers have acne because of hormone changes in their bodies that causes an acid build up in their stomach. The potato neutralizes this acid. I am thinking this could be one of the reasons kids about 12 have stinky feet but I don't know. It does not cost a lot to find out. I hope this information helps a lot of you guys.
Also as some have suggested, change socks regularly and wear only white socks, leather shoes is a must. Other shoes causes your feet to sweat and smell. Leather is a big help. My husbands feet smell also. I put a spray nozzle on peroxide and have him spray his feet before he showers and let it stay on their for a few minutes before he turns on the shower. Then shower normally. But the liquid chlorophyll really works great as long as he takes it. It does not taste bad and it is good for you anyway. Have a blessed day! Sylvia

After your shower, rub a thin layer of Vicks VapoRub on the bottoms of your feet and between your toes. Wear white socks and you'll never have a problem again. This really works!

My husband doesn't think his feet stink, but let me tell you, they are horrific. I mean, I can smell them when I walk by him. The sour stinch makes me think he's dirty even after he's showered. Tell me, can I get stinky feet from him.
What can I do to kill the smell, that this in denial man, will let me do to him?

RE: Remedies For Stinky Feet
I tried soaking the feet in Lipton black tea at warm temperature that was comfortable and latter on used a cotton ball with Listerine and rubbed on my feet. The next day I noticed a big difference. It really helps! Please DO NOT TRY ANY DETERGENTS ON YOUR FEET. The idea of gel deodorants sounds acceptable. Do not put any detergents on your feet it is really toxic.
Research any natural alternative as well because natural stuff is as potent as any medicine and may have toxic effects at certain levels> take care of your health it is not worth to get sick putting toxins in your feet just because they are a little or a lot stinky. Tea works anyways. I am living proof! I went walking for several hours with my old shoes and it worked!

RE: Remedies For Stinky Feet
For me and probably for many of you the smell is from a bacteria. You can probably see little wells in your skin, which are being used for food by the critters. The following works for me. In England a few years back I found a cream that stopped the smell for a month. I couldn't find it in the USA but realized that the formula was very similar to gel-type underarm deodorants.
So now, when I have a problem I start the morning by rubbing in some of the gel on my feet before putting on my socks. Also if needed I will put a small amount of foot deodorant powder in my shoes that *does not* contain cornstarch or other things bacteria can eat. I can't believe that the deodorant is worse on my feet than under my arm in terms of chemical exposure. One caution, Boric acid works well in foot powders but it is poisonous, so don't use a lot. Read up on it.

RE: Remedies For Stinky Feet
Please people even NATURAL tea tree oil if you look at it in Wikipedia in certain doses can be fatal and toxic. Please inform yourself before putting anything in your feet natural or not natural. For example to soak your feet in Tea sporadically or maybe putting Listering that are things we consume I do not think could be of harm. But detergents are TOXIC they are absorbed.
Maybe you won't notice and years from now start presenting a level of toxicity diseases or carcinogenic effects "cancer" from putting your skin in contact with toxic agents. Please don't be ignorant and research anything skin absorbs and it goes to the blood stream in the same way as if you drink it or ingest the toxic. It is very alarming what I read here because some child might take the Lysol...bleach or other borax suggestion as a possibility without knowing these are detergents that may be extremely toxic an bad for you.

RE: Remedies For Stinky Feet
Any of the bleach or detergents that people suggest here should not be used because they can hurt your health. Bleach is not good for your system. Tea and tea tree oil and vinegar sound like a better solution. Never put in your skin anything Toxic in the same way as if you drank it. toxins can be absorbed through the skin and enter your system. Some people may write it as a joke and A kid with no knowledge in their ignorance and desperation can use it and harm themselves. BE RESPONSIBLE!

RE: Remedies For Stinky Feet
I have a good solution. First wash your feet in hot water with Soap and dry well. Then get very cheap vodka and put about half a gallon in a wash basin and wash each foot and submerge for at least 3-5 minutes. This will get rid of the odor for at least a week. The next part is to have at least 3 pairs of shoes and throw out any old socks. Never wear socks for more than one day. Do Not Ever put on socks again after you take them off. This will prevent athletes foot too. I carry an extra pair of socks when I head to my gf house just in case. I haven't had smelly feet in like two years. remember to use insoles with baking soda or carbon. and change these every month.

This is the magic bullet!....it's called Pedisolix. I got it while in Europe last year and now it's available online here in America. Use it once and leave on for 24 hours with the socks they provide and it kills odour for almost 3 MONTHS! It normalizes foot perspiration and kills the bacteria and makes feet soft and healthy....also really hels with foot fungus and toenail 'stuff'....i couldn't believe it but me and a few friends here have used it a few times and it's friggin' amazing! We found it helps to spray dissinfect your shoes so the smell doesn't temporarily transfer back to feet after the treatment.

BTW, forgot to add, other then tea, sometimes it is as easy as going to the washroom more regularly - anyone with bowel problems will have stinky feet. Again cause it is toxins in your system, try deodorant on the bottom of your feet after you shower, and remember to change the insoles regularly. Good luck!

Well, I rub my feet with tea tree oil every night. It kills toxins and bacteria, and it has a strong smell, but it fades overnight. It's a nice though. Just too strong for wearing during the day. For a quick easy application, I made a solution by mixing some with water and spraying my feet. Afterward, I put on loose socks and head to bed.

Soak those feet in room temperature iced tea! The tannic acid from the tea will kill the bacteria that is causing the 'stink.' Do this at least once a day for about a week, and then weekly. It works.

Guaranteed remedy. Use a handful of rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol on feet with every bath or shower. If feet sweat a lot wear two pair of absorbent socks for two weeks & change them every 4-6 hours. After a week or two of using alcohol daily u shouldn't have to change socks anymore. Your foot odor should be eliminated, but continue to using alcohol each day.

Wash the shoes, I use a generous amount of bleach with hot water on my husband and children's stinky sneakers and shoes. It cleans them up and disinfects them. Wear white cotton socks.Soak feet in a tea solution once a week. Spray Lysol Disinfectant inside shoes generously. Use a pumice stone to clean your feet. If all else fails, go see a podiatrist.

If you have a sudden onset of stinky feet check with your physician as it may be a medical problem. Bowel cleansing may also help. Your feet excrete toxins from the body. Remember when soaking your feet be careful in what you use as a soak because your body absorbs through the skin. You need to get rid of toxins not add more to your system.
To end the stink in your shoes, remove the foot bed and pour in about a 1/2 cup of baking soda. Shake the baking soda around in your shoes to coat even the top inside of the shoe and let sit over night. Pour it out the next day clapping your shoes to remove any excess and replace the old insole with new foot liners/insoles in your shoes.

Some feet odor is caused by the same bacteria that give you acne. Try over the counter 10% benzoyl peroxide.

Comet cleaner works wonderfully. Just sprinkle a little on the inside of your tub or shower and work it in with your feet (make sure to get it in between each toe and on top). The bleach kills the bacteria, and the talc soaks up foot moisture. I do this once a week; my feet are fresh and my tub is sparkling.

RE: Remedies For Stinky Feet
i had stinky feet---very bad, that my coworkers would put up air-fresher. Some of it was that they were being cruel on purpose and part of it was that I had stinky feet. I started doing colonics (colon hydrotherapy) and the odor has pretty much gone! I thought I was regular, but after the first session I had about 5 pounds of waste.I know it sounds gross, but I got on the scale and I lost about 5 pounds and my stomach stopped protruding. Subsequently, I had 4 more sessions and my foot odor is gone. From a scientific standpoint, all of the nerves end in the foot, so when you are not eliminating properly bacteria from the colon just get recirculated and end up causing bacteria to end in the feet. A few other things I have to do is scrub the dead skin off my feet with a pumice stone or something hard like that, but initially I went and got a professional pedicure because they can use a razor that doesn't hurt to get layers of dead skin off that's old and stinky. Next, I have to regularly clip my toenails, wash my feet with Dial or some antibacterial soap, dry well and put powder in my shoes. Also, I try not to where the same shoe everyday so they can air out. I know all of this sounds crazy, but it has worked for me and I did some research and apparently Elvis Presley had really horrible foot odor and remember he was impacted. when they did an autopsy on him there were massive amounts of waste. just my story. i hope this helps

RE: Remedies For Stinky Feet
The smell comes from bacteria that grow in shoes and on feet from the excessive moisture.
To help shoes last longer, and cut down on the odors in them (and thereby reduce the feet smell) - rotate shoes. Never wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. The shoes need to dry for 24 hours between wearings.
Discard any shoes that you cannot remove the odor from.
Wear cotton socks and leather shoes. These will help the feet to breath. Change socks daily.
Wash feet with a good mild soap each day. Dry feet thoroughly. Apply a good foot powder or spray. I use a peppermint foot spray every morning on my feet and a generic Dr sholls's type foot powder in my shoes.
Avoid wearing plastic shoes or nylon socks.
I haven't tried this one, but it looks like it might be a help. Soak feet in bath of 1 cup vinegar, 1 dash dish soap, lots of warm water for 10 mins. Pat dry. Refill tub or bowl with warm water and oatmeal, squeeze oats till water is milky...soak another 10 or so. Pat dry..fresh as a daisy! The person who recommended this says it lasts several days too!
These tips will not cure stinky feet, but may help with the problem.

RE: Remedies For Stinky Feet
My last girlfriend had feet so stinky that you could whistle at her trainers and they'd come running- without her in them! She'd warned me about her feet and she wasn't joking...
The stinky feet smell is normally bacteria feeding on dead skin and for want of a better word, farting the smell..
The cure is very simple. Go out and buy some new shoes/trainers. Wash feet in hot water - quite hot soapy water. Rinse well in hot water and make sure all the soap is off. Dry feet really well - with a hair drier if possible to make sure there isn't any moisture on them. Next, soak your feet in a solution of hot water and sodium hypochlorite." WHAT'S THAT???" - the stuff you soak baby bottles in! In the UK it's called "Milton sterisling solution". You need a few good glugs in the bowl of water. Say about 250ml. Soak your feet for about an hour in this solution so's your feet are prune looking. Remove feet but don't dry completely. Leave them so they are a little damp. Don't rinse. Put a pair of clean socks on and go to bed. When you wake up in the morning have your usual shower and put on clean socks and new shoes and go to work etc.
Get home at night and remove shoes. You won't smell anything but a warm shoe smell. Ask a friend neighbour etc to smell your feet. There won't be anything to smell! Works every time. About day two or three you will notice that you have very dry feet and they may crack ever so slightly. Just use a moisturiser. By day seven you'll have normal unsmelling feet. Even if you've sweated all day (which is quite natural 'cos your feet are supposed to sweat). They aren't supposed to stink.
What you've done is kill off the bug in your feet. You've got rid of any hiding places for the bug by washing in hot soapy water and rinsing off. The strerilising solution then kills it. The overnight ever so slightly damp socks treatment gives it chance to get into nook and cranny of your feet just in case you missed any bugs in the soak.
Your old shoes etc?... Put them back on for instant smelly feet. The bug's hiding in them waiting for you. Trainers can be washed in a hot machine wash - if you aren't overly concerned about them. BUT make sure they are dry totally before you put them back on your feet. Not surface dry but all the way through. If they aren't you'll be able to find out because bugs will have survived and when they go back on your feet you'll have to repeat the whole thing again. Shoes... best thing is put them somewhere warm and dry for about six months and forget about them. The bugs need moisture to live so six months should see them off. But I did have a pair of slippers that were nubuck or something that I could not sterlise no matter what I did. They are in the bin. Don't use household bleach as there's a type of 'detergent' in that and that will mega dry your feet out...not good

RE: Remedies For Stinky Feet
any powder with zinc oxide is the key to non-stinky feet. Gold Bond baby powder is great and I love the smell it doesn't smell like the typical foot powders. Johnson's medicated baby powder is also good. Either put it in your shoes or wipe it on your feet everyday when you were sandals. It has worked for my whole family and we had very smelly feet.

Have read that you can spray anti-perspirant on feet to prevent sweating & odor. Also not wearing the same pair of shoes two days in a row, shoes need more than 24 hrs. to fully "air out". Better for the feet AND the shoes!

Poly-based fibers don't allow your feet to "breathe", or absorb moisture, so your feet start to sweat and then stink because the sweat can't evaporate because it is trapped. Also, there are anti-perspirant lotions that you can rub on the bottoms of your feet which will cut down on perspiration and stinkiness.

sweat is alkali, so use a tablespoon of vinegar which in a footbath daily, also add vinagar when you launder your socks either in main wash or when rinsing. thus the acid in the vinager nuetralize the sweat.

Tea for Stinky Feet
Brew two tea bags in one quart of warm water and soak your feet for ten minutes. Do this every night until the problem is gone. Then you can soak them periodically. Tea is terrific at keeping your feet odor free and it also will keep your feet perspiration free because of its tannic acid.
