whats the best thing to get rid of smelly feet?


Question:
my fiance always moans about my smelly feet but personally i dont notice them what can i do to make them better

Answers:
first make sure that you wash them regularly and that you don't have a fungal infection like athlete's foots (the skin between your toes will be all peeley and soft)
smells linger in shoes so if you can, wash then (trainers can go into the washing machine. If you have a particularly stinky pair, throw then out, bacteria is breading in them :(
use only cotton socks or at least 90% cotton. synthetic materials make your feet sweat more and don't let it evaporate. Biodegrading sweat causes BO.
also try getting shoes made of breathable material, like swede, leather or natural fabric.
keep your toenails short as dirt and dead skin can get trapped underneath and contribute to the smell.
Finally add a sprinkle of bicarbonate of soda (found it the baking section of supermarkets) to your shoes and feet in the morning. Its as fine as talcum powder and is a natural deodorant and will neutralise smells on contact. It will also help to keep your feet dry and your shoes fresh and is totally harmless.
You can also buy specialist foot sprays and powders but in my experience bicarbonate of soda is cheaper and works just as well if not better
Scholl spray is really good.
