Keep Feet Dry: Perspiration is the underlying culprit. Techniques to keep feet dry would include: foot powder, absorbent socks (cotton/wool...Avoid synthetics like nylon, polyester). Changing socks and or shoes frequently helps. Aluminum chloride is a good topical aniperspirant found in underarm antiperspirant sprays. Some people will spray their feet before putting on socks. Prescription drysol can be used.

Also...: Along with dr. Mitsos' excellent recommendations there is a small population that develop a special type of bacterial infection called pitted keratolysis. If the above suggestions don't seem to help the problem, check in with a specialist to see if this could be the underlying issue or if you may require more directed medical treatment for hyperhidrosis (excess perspiration).

Foot odor: The answers already given are great . I would only add hygiene and antibacterial soap and shoe spray like clean sweep . It usually takes more than just one thing to get rid of foot odor - and you must continue these steps to keep it in check .
