i don't know how to avoid my feet from smells. now what i do is change my socks everytime i want to wears shoes. when i got home, i quickly run to my toilet and wash my smelly feet. i'm so tired of doing it. imagine when i go to my friends house, the smells will affect my relationship. is there any solutions?

You probably need to go talk to your doctor about the problem. However, there may be some underlieing causes. Plastic or uruthane shoes, the fake leather kinds trap in sweat, and can cause your feet tosweat even more, just making theproblem worse. Wearing nylon socks can again make the problem worse. The best thing to wear are either leather or canvas shoes with a good thick insole that can be washed and wear cotton socks which absorb the sweat . This should help . another thing you need to know isto never wear your shoes without socks on. If your shoes are not leather, throw them in the washing machine with your dark wash, and when they are dry, spray them with febreze or one of those foot sprays. And buy some good insoles that can be washed, like Dr. Scholl's odor eaters

i can understand what you are going through, the smell of stale feet isnt exactly the best of smells, but what i can suggest is to routinely wash your feet in salt water everytime you get back home, and also to enseure that all your footweat is properly sunned and dried to prevent any bacteria from grouwing from within the shoes

this is one big reason why i dont like to wear shoes. i wear sandals most of the times. when there's a need to be formal, i will put on open-toe heels for better ventilation.
