    As others have said... New shoes. Just make sure you wash your feet before you wear them or you may transfer the bacteria the new shoes. Don't wear shoes around the house and in the warmer months wear sandals outside. You might use foot powder even though it's a little messy...get the stuff with corn starch, it seems to keep the moisture down the best.

          Pumice has the downside of being how the government gets into your head.

            I'll bet it isn't your feet but your shoes. Throw out the ones you have, buy new ones and switch around what you wear.

                Probably some bacteria has got in, ask a pharmacist what would help.

                    Strangely enough, I felt the same when I came home yesterday. I soaked my feet in a bucket of hot water for about half an hour, and not only did it get rid of the smell, it also freshened me up. I'm going to do this every few days now!

                    Cheers, Vıkram.

                        I think if it's a blow torch, the antibacterial aspect can be taken for granted.

                          Ah, but you see, an anti-bacterial blow torch is designed in such a way as to render it maximally effective against bacteria.

                            Geez, what the heck is it with you guys and your feet? I hardly even know what my feet look like let alone smell like... The way I figure it, if the only thing someone can say about me is that my feet stink, I must be doing things about right. And, as far as that goes, anyone who can make it past my breath isn't likely to be someone who is going to be concerned about my feet.

                            Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

                                Umm, my smelly feet make me uncomfortable. Somebody else has the same problem; so I'm offering advice. Surely you can't get all worked up about something as innocuous as this? :~ Or does it have something to do with Obama taking oath in a few days? ;P

                                      Many people have given many kinds of proof of god over the last several centuries, but till date as far as I know at least, not one of them used smelly feet as the ultimate proof of god.

                                        Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

                                          Actually, I was more offended by the response to my stinky feet post below. That was some top drawyer humor utterly wasted on bottom drawyer intellects... :rolleyes:
