Try soaking: Your foot in tea. Tannic acid in tea is a good astringent/drying agent. Foot sprays do work if you use the right ones. The issue may be you decontaminate your feet when putting them back into a contaminated shoe. Consider, spraying the shoes as well.

Stinky feet: Feet usually develop an odor either due to poor hygiene or an overgrowth of brevibacterium . For that , antibacterial soaps are handy . For stinky shoes - which can be caused by fungus and bacteria - we use something in the office called CleanSweep . An odd name , but see your podiatrist for assistance with this problem and perhaps he/she will have this or another product that will help .
