I hate having stinky feet, and I also hate having dry feet, but when I try to get rid of the smell by washing them a few times they just get really dry and usually still stink. :( Does anyone know of a good soap that will get rid of odor and not leave my feet so dry?

I use some amazing LUSH products to keep my feet smelling scrumptious. Pied de Pepper foot lotion, Running to the Embassy body butter, Stepping Stone foot scrub, T for Toes dusting powder (I sprinkle this in my shoes)... lots of delightful things to try!

Is it your feed that are stinky or your footwear? I find that most people with stinky feet end up just having stinky footwear that's stinking up their feets.

The crystal deoderant I use you can put on your feet.


For dry feet, slather on lotion and then throw on a pair of cotton socks. That always makes my feet extra soft.

Soak your feet in lukewarm water with tea bags in it for 30 minutes a day. Something about the tannen in tea is supposed to do something for your stink.

Both. I usually wear one pair of running shoes until they wear out, so after a while they start stinking, which make my feet stink every time I wear them. They're still wearable so I don't want to throw them away yet.

TOE SOCKS!!! If you can get over the feeling of your tootsies individually wrapped, toe socks really cut down on the stinky feet smell. My boyfriend had HORRID food odor for a long time. I bought him a dozen pairs of toe socks, and whenever he wears them I don't smell his normal foot stink.

haha, I hate toe socks. I hate most socks actually, I can't stand the feeling of my dry, cracked feet touching things. But I do always wear socks with shoes (thick, athletic socks). I learned that stinky lesson long ago.

You need to put some bicarb of soda into the feet of old tights and tie them up. Then place them in your shoes every night (keep away from dogs), change the bicarb every so often, essential oils mixed into the bicarb would help too. Do it with new shoes to hold off on the stink building up. Wash your feets at least once a day and moisture wicking socks for sports.

This is brilliant.

Also I wash my shoes. Full on washing machine/dry (if I can) or I at least pull out the insoles and wash them and spray the shoes inside and out with tea tree oil cleaning solution. My students are obsessed with clean shoes and suggested this is why my feet stink. Now my feet never smell. I just toss my shoes in with my laundry.

i would suggest sprinkling baking soda in your shoes, because like fezza said, it's usually shoes that cause your feet to smell. well, first you should wash your shoes, throw 'em in the washer. then maybe put baking soda in each night if your feet still stink.

try wearing socks to bed to prevent your feet from drying out too much.
