Clean your feet : I would clean your feet and only wear cotton socks for less moisture to build up also there are foot powders at the pharmacy that help prevent foot odor.

Change shoes: Foot odor is caused by the breakdown of fats and proteins in your sweat by bacteria in moist areas. Unfortunately, once your shoes have become contaminated they will begin to smell every time that they get moist. Get new well aerated shoes, wear absorbent natural fiber socks, change your socks frequently, use a hand sanitizer and spray antiperspirant to cut down on the moisture.
