well she can't wear sandals all the time and she buys good socks. I guess she can try the powders she just wanted something that she could do with out spending too much money.

Odor Eater's always works for my tennis shoes (or boyfriend's tennis shoes). You can put that in your shoes and it also prevents bacteria from forming, which helps prevent odor. Also, if she puts a bit of powder on her feet before putting her socks on, it will cut down on her feet sweating. Maybe she could also get some thinner socks to help her feet breathe better. HOpe that helps!

i agree that a good soak twice a week would really help in disinfecting the odor causing bacteria in your friend's feet. Applying some heavy duty anti perspirant such as Driclor can also be a very good solution since the odor stems from sweat trapped in..

well, tell your friend to soak her feet into a warm water with salt in it for 30 minutes. this will prevent the sweaty feet that can cause smelly feet.

she could try a baby powder that should help keep her feet dry .
They make lotions and powders for feet the sweat and also avon sells many products.
You can even find things at a dollar store .
Peppermint lotion is one of the best for smell so any scented with that will do.

Easy n home made remedy wud b, if she is at home, and came bk, whenever she is relaxing, like watching tv or so, she cud just get a bowl of water, with a pinch of salt and small lemon juice squeezed, and she cud rest her feet in it for 10-15 minutes, it removes dirt as well as smell, if she does that regularly, i guess her probs wud b sloved.

I know how you feel but there are a few things that one can do to help keep their feet clean and hygienic. Well one is to give your feet a kind of bath soak. You will need to put some salt like half a cup in there and the water needs to be warm. For an invigorating smell you could also add a few drops of essential oil, at your preference of course. The salt will help kill of some of the bacteria on there causing some of the smell. Also one could put their shoes in the sun to help dry and air them from moisture, that should help with continued wear. Also if the shoe is really smell maybe hose it down with some baby powder to help absorb extra moisture inside the shoe. I hope some of these help.
