Keep dry: Foot odor develops from bacteria and/or fungus on the skin that worsens with moisture and warmth. You might try changing socks frequently and using cotton socks to absorb and use a good absorbent powder such as zeosorb-af which also has an anti-fungal medication in it. If these do not work, then you should see a podiatrist or dermatologist who can offer other prescription items to help.
