Smelly feet, known as bromodosis, is a common problem that is embarrassing for you and those around you. Foot odor is mainly caused by sweat and shoes. The feet and hands have more sweat glands than most other regions of the body, so controlling foot sweat can be a daunting task. But by focusing on your feet and your shoes, you can obtain odor-free feet.
1. Bathe your feet daily. To keep your feet from smelling, practice good foot hygiene. Wash your feet every day with warm water and soap. This removes dirt, sweat, and odor causing bacteria. Make sure to take special care to wash your feet when taking a bath or ******. Many times people forget to wash their feet, or do it quickly. Your feet need as much, if not more, attention as the rest of your body.
2. Exfoliate your feet. Getting rid of the dead skin can help reduce the smell. Scrub your feet at home with an exfoliating scrub or a pumice stone, or treat yourself to a pedicure.

- Wash between your toes and around the nail beds. These are places where bacteria can grow.
- If your feet smell, try washing your feet multiple times a day. Once in the morning, once at night, and once after you work out or get extra sweaty.

- Also keep your toenails clean and trimmed to reduce bacteria.
- Moisturize your feet with lotion to keep them soft and healthy. Try lotions with fragrances like lavender or peppermint to help combat odors.
- Dry your feet off really well after you ******. Make sure to get all of your feet, including the area between the toes.
- Wipe between your toes with rubbing ******* after drying them. The rubbing ******* helps dry out the skin between the toes
- Socks don't work well with pumps or ballet flats. Buy the small no-show socks designed to be hidden when worn with dress shoes. These socks can be purchased at major retailers.5.
- Be wary of cotton socks. They absorb moisture, which could make your feet soggy, and therefore, smelly.
- Try moisture-wick socks that pull moisture away from the skin, or feet-fresh athletic socks that contain ventilation. You can also purchase antibacterial socks that have ingredients that help prevent bacteria from growing.
- No matter if you wear synthetic or cotton socks, make sure they are breathable fabric.
- Turn your socks inside out when you wash them to clean the dead skin and moisture from the inside.
- You can also place antiperspirant on your feet before putting on your shoes the next morning. Just make sure not to only put it on in the morning, because if your feet start to sweat right away, it could remove the antiperspirant.
