if you are a girl, avoid tights like the plauge

What kind of shoes do you wear? Leather shoes will not make your feet sweat as much as synthetic ones

As chazza has said, wearing leather shoes or boots does help. Also, if wearing trainers, always wear cotton sox.

Scuse the title, but this is very informative too:

Also, don't wear the same shoes day in day out. Give you shoes a day off to let them breathe as sometimes the sweat becomes engrained into the leather and then the shoes smell too.

keep with the odour eaters...however, beneath them, try dusting beneath the odour eater with a teaspoon of Bicarb of soda..it works quickly to absorb moisture and odours..

best of luck

Warpig is correct - wearing the same shoes day in & day out is very bad. You should have a choice of shoes -or trainers- so you can alternate them.

I girl I used to know who trained as a beauty therapist wiped feet every day with surgical spirit(think you buy in the chemist). I had a wee search on the net to see if I could find anymore info and someone does suggest you do this every day and stop if you get any irritation. I would have thought it could dry the skin a bit that maybe you could try doing it every 2nd day or something? She just put it on some cotton wool and rubbed over feet, concentrating on soles and between toes.
