I just bought these new shoes, and my feet just stink! They are open toe sandals, so they are getting plenty of air. I don't have a foot fungus, and I take a shower every day, and wash my feet about twice a day. Any reason why they might stink?
I Have A Foot Oder That Will Not Go Away. I've Used Various Medications, But Nothing Helps, Any Suggestions?
One cause of foot odour is a bacterial infection, for which you would need antibiotic prescribed by a doctor. Other cause is fungal infection, for which you can get over the counter creams and sprays. If you have sweaty feet, change socks every day, wear only cotton in summer and wool or cotton in winter. Try to not wear the same shoes every day. Wipe sweaty feet with alcohol wipes, or use surgical spirit. You can use antiperspirant deodorant on your feet if you are sure the above suggestions re infection do not apply to you.
My brother had that problem. He soaked his feet in clorox. You might try baking soda in your shoes also. Vinegar seems to be a nature cure-all also. Make sure you change your socks regularly too.
