Hyperhydrosis: Sounds like you have hyperhydrosis or bromohydrosis where the feet smell due to increased bacterial growth due to the sweating. Ask your podiatrist for formation this is a rub on topical which will stop the hyperhydrosis and hence the bromohydrosis.

Work at it...: First off, make sure your feet stay dry and clean. Wash between the toes each day and wear fresh socks. •acrylic cushion sock fabric maintains resiliency and provides a more natural yielding, forgiving, dynamic environment for the foot (like walking barefoot in grass or sand). •result: more protection, more comfort. Secondly, use drying agents directly on the foot, like certain-dry or drysol.
