A member asked:
Im 26 and my feet have never had an odor...now they do! no matter what pair of tennis shoes i wear. what could be causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fungus or bacteria.: Foot odor is usually caused by a fungus or bacteria. Old shoes can harbor these organisms. There are several treatment options available depending on your exact cause. Controlling perspiration is very important to reducing odor. See a local podiatrist for an exam and treatment recommendations.
