I feel silly but my feet sweat in most of my shoes. I tried baby powder but it didn't work...?

I wear my shoes while at work and my feet sweat and stink i kick them off while working so it don%26#039;t get bad but i still get like mud almost in them! my feet are clean i clean those shoes daily after i wear them and before i put them on! still not working!


any idea%26#039;s

I feel silly but my feet sweat in most of my shoes. I tried baby powder but it didn%26#039;t work...?
I saw this on Oprah, tried it....it works well.





Dr. Oz said to take 12 teabags of iced tea. Boil water and let the teabags soak until you have a really strong tea. Allow it to cool to room temp.





Soak your feet in it every day for a week for 30 minutes. The tea will %26quot;tan%26quot; your feet, which will dry up the sweat glands. ( I did not notice a color change in my skin, so don%26#039;t worry about your feet becoming dark.)


Good luck!
Reply:You can try rubbing deodorant on the bottoms of your feet before putting on socks and shoes.





You can try corn starch in your shoes





You can also try a product I saw in Walgreens the other day. It is an aerosol type bottle, but you push it down into your shoe to make it spray and it is supposed to help smelly shoes.
Reply:change shoes several times a week if possible.





use a light coating of your regular deodorant on your soles. sprinkle baking soda in the shoes and let it sit over night. empty the shoe before you wear it.
Reply:I use an aersol deodorant, since it will spray a little more evenly than the solid type. Like others have suggested, a powder specially formulated for feet can also help. Cornstarch is another option. Also, Kiwi has a type of dress shoe insert that is lightly scented; they work in other types of shoes as well, but they%26#039;re marketed for dress shoes. I think they%26#039;re called Fesh%26#039;ns or something like that. They%26#039;re super thin and don%26#039;t slide around inside your shoes. Plus, they%26#039;re cheap. Also, when you wear a pair of shoes, let them air dry for at least one day, preferably two before wearing them again. If you can, alternate between 3 pair.
Reply:Get a jar of Boric Acid %26amp; apply a little to your feet each day before you put your shoes on. It soaks up the sweat %26amp; eliminates the odor. When wearing socks with shoes, do the same thing or sprinkle just a wee bit in each sock. It helps to wear only cotton white socks, also.
Reply:Two things you can try - first is a %26#039;natural%26#039; antipersperant, it%26#039;s solid, almost like a big rock of salt, it%26#039;s called a %26#039;crystal%26#039;. You wet it and rub it on the place on your body that you want to inhibit sweating.





Second is an antipersperant/deodorant that contains %26#039;enzymes%26#039;. Enzymes are live cultures that actually eat bio-matter.





Remember, it%26#039;s not your sweat that%26#039;s causing the bad smell, it%26#039;s the bacteria that are present that are causing the bad smell.





I%26#039;d recommend a deodorant with enzymes in it to do the trick.





I know it works, my pets have an additive called %26#039;slurp and fresh%26#039; that I add to their water bowl to make their mouths smell fresh, it contains ENZYMES.





When my dog was a puppy and had accidents in the house I bought a cleaning product at Petsmart called Petzyme, it contains ENZYMES.





Enzymes eat all that biological stuff that causes the smell.





Best place to get the enzyme deodorant is your local healthfood store.
Reply:Well - Here are a few things that you can do to help your sweating foot problem - They make alot of foot deodorizers that you can buy at your local supermarket or drugstore..I think Tenactin makes one and I know Dr. Shoal%26#039;s definitely makes a few products for your problem - They make everything from sprays to foot baths to powders - and these products are specifically designed to help your specific problem - They are inexpensive and work very well - I have personally tried them..especially in the summer time - You have to be careful also in regards to to much sweat on your feet..You can develop Athlete%26#039;s Foot - Especially be careful b/c you are wearing a friends shoes..Hope this helps.
Reply:Get some foot powder, it will work better than baby powder...:)
Reply:Try foot powder not baby powder. also white light socks help. If all else fails can you wear sandles?
Reply:You could try wearing cotton soak´s also you can change the inner sole´s. Pop into your local chemist they will suggest which is best for your feet, They are always very helpful. It could also be the kind of shoes you wear. Ask them for advise
Reply:Try buying some Lavlin food deodorant. You can get it at health food stores or on the internet. It is awesome and I think it helps sweating as well.
Reply:Try using antiperspirant that you would use under your arms. That way it will help keep them dry.
Reply:I saw on oprah one time that if you soak your feet in tea, it can be cold or room temp or what ever. That the natural enzimes in the tea will releive the feet smell . It might stain your feet but not to bad.
Reply:Is it because they%26#039;re cheap shoes?


No offense but smelly feet are usually the result of bad shoes


Try changing your shoes for a different type



Adidas
