How to make my feet don't smell bad?

Perform tea soaks: Take a tin, bowl or something to soak your feet in, fill with warm water and tea bags. The tannic acid in the tea will help dry out the feet and eliminate the smell. You can then follow up with a foot spray sold in the local pharmacy. At the begining you may want to do the foot soaks daily and cut down to every other day then progress to once weekly.

See below: You have a condition called bromhydrosis. This could be caused by bacteria that may respond to antibiotics. If not infection try soaking in dilute tea (tanic acid). If no success, see a podiatrist.
