Tea: Try soaking your feet in tea. Don't use the herbal types, the tea should be black pekoe tea. The tannins are drying and should help. Dr Scholls makes an OTC product called Odor Eliminator; a powder you can sprinkle into your shoes. Yes, there are other brands that also help. If all these don't help then get a prescription for a boro's solution and soak. Good luck.
