I had athletes foot and applied pine-sol directly on the affected areas of my feet and the infection would dry up and die within 3 days.
Lysol also helped on the odor problem in my shoes.

My Feet Like Reek Out The Class Room.
What Do i Do, I try Deodorant and Like Shower powder, But they Still Stink.
Please Help.

Hey folks,

unfortunately I’m an expert in the matter of foot and shoe care. I had so many problems on this topic. Foot smell, exessive foot sweat, even athlete’s foot. And I tried so many things… all the home remedies (vinegar, soda etc.) and purported miracle cures. It all costed me money, times and nerves. But finally I found a cure which really works after using it a few weeks: Insoles made from cedarwood (Manufacturer: Zederna.com). The wood absorbs any moisture. So foot smell has no more basis. These insoles are worth the money charged for.

do u put baking soda in the soles too?

My husband suffered with really bad foot odour for years and tried everything you can think of and more. The only thing that works is Borax powder. Sprinkle a little in every pair of shoes you have and before you put your shoes on every day dust your feet with the powder. It’s inexpensive and is amazing for getting rid of all types of odours. Try adding some powder when you wash your carpets to illiminate pet odour you’ll never look bck again.

Swicth shoes everyday spray alcohol inside footwear allow it to dry one or two days. Wear socks made of 70% cotton they absorb sweat and help keep your feet dry, change your socks two or three times a day. Clean and dry your feet when you change your socks. Wear sandals. Most antipespirants dont work on most people even prescrition types like drysol. A podiatrist can inject botox in to your feet that last about three months, most medical plans wont cover the cost ,and it’s expensive. This maybe a reason that some women love to have many shoes.

Peeing on your feet has been taught to soldiers for ever, it also kills athletes foot and many other fungi. it has nothing to do with ammonia, it’s a perfectly PH balanced mix of uric acid and urea…when doctors give you creams for a rash or something, check the ingredients you’ll see urea

i had the same problem before i threw away my old sneakers and brought new ones and i got many socks so when youre going somwhere and you hav pink socks on the next day put on blue socks dont keep wearing the same socks everyday it will get worse

There are person problems and there are shoe problems. We know bacteria causes the smell but in my experience it only happens with some pairs of shoes. When the bacteria mingles with the man-made materials in my running shoes, that’s when I have a problem.

Use kitchen anti-bacterial surface spray, remove inner soles, spray the whole shoe and the inner soles and let it dry over night.

My work boots stink so i use this, but my other shoes do never smell.

These really cool shoe trees will dry your shoes and make them smell good too. I use them and they are great. I think you can find them at stuffitts.com.

after freezing your shoes do you shake the baking soda out before you put them in a ventilated area or after?

I live in a warm humid climate and have very warm sweaty feet. Nothing worked for me at all - no sprays, powders, soaks, etc. I started putting plain Dr. Scholl’s insoles in my shoes (not even the odor-reducing kind, just plain white sponge-y insoles) and they seemed to absorb a lot of the heat and moisture. I have to switch them out every few weeks, but it is a lot cheaper than buying new shoes every few months!

Also, I am careful to let my shoes air out and dry completely before I wear them again - I never wear the same shoes 2 days in a row. That seems to help as well.

Well ummm……. How about you wash your feet dry them and spray your feet and shoes with lysol. Let them both air dry all odors will be terminated >,.,

FROM A CHIROPIST I USED TO KNOW. WASH FEET WITH SURGICAL SPIRIT MORNING AND EVENING FOR A WEEK OR LONGER IF SMELL PERSISTS. METHOD WORKS WELL….USED ON RESIDENTS IN LONG STAY WARD WITH PERMISSION

In response to the “grossed out” comment:

Peeing on your feet works to kill the bacteria. Sure you wash your feet afterward but the ammonia in the urine is what kills the bacteria and/or any fungus etc. My boyfriend does it and he has great feet so I know it works.

don’t wear barefeet in your runners it makes your shoes and your feet smelly

Urine is sterile. The reason it would be good for keeping odor out of shoes is because of its high ammonia content (also a cure for being stung by a jellyfish which is why they say to pee on the affected area immediately after being stung) which kills bacteria. instead of peeing on yourself though, which i wouldn’t imagine would be entirely enjoyable.. just buy some ammonia or ammonia based cleaner at the store.

I use my own hand sanitizer. Apply a few drops on my feet and use my own feet to rub the moisturizing alcohol all over. Slip on my socks and shoes. No smelly feet! Make sure you’ve WASHED your feet, as in like right after the shower. Don’t go applying it when your feet are all cheesed up. Sweet!?
