Foot odor: When he comes home have him soak his feet in a basin of luke warm water with 1-2 tablespoons of bleach added to the water to eliminate odor.

Feet: Boys get sweaty (so do girls)! When they are in their teens, the sweat produces more odor. The best things to do are 1) encourage good hygiene (daily bath or shower), 2) change socks regularly, 3) use powder in the shoes or an odor-absorbing insert, and 4)have him remove his shoes and wash his feet as soon as he gets home.
