My son is 6 years old. His feet smell like a dead thing!!! We have tried sandals, we've washed shoes, we've tried boots...they started growing a mold that made his brother very sick!!! I feel bad always telling him to go wash his feet, but this is bad. We have to replace his shoes/sandals every 6 - 12 weeks sometimes...there is no getting the stinky out! I am not interested in medicine except as a total last resort...so does anyone out there know of natural ways to treat this strange problem? He's the youngest of 4 boys and none of the others have odor issues at all out of the ordinary. THANKS for your help!!!

What can I do next?

I had a problem with my 10 yr old girl's feet. Try soaking them in a bucket of tea. Regular old tea. i filled a small bucket with warmer water and steeped 4-5 tea bags for a few minutes then soaked her feet, with the tea bags still in it, for about 30 minutes. I did this for 7 days. It did help a lot. It's been almost 6 months and we haven't had a problem.

I was recently reading in a nutrition magazine that to treat fungus use hydrogen peroxide and then coat with tea tree oil. I wonder if that might help with foot odor.

There is also a hunter's deodorant you might can use that eliminates body odor. I think you can get it at a hunting supply store or department.

Good luck!

I used to have this problem, too, and it's not very ladylike! My aunt who was selling herbs, vitamins, and natural supplements like that told me that I was deficient in ZINC. I figured it wouldn't hurt to take zinc, and believe it or not, it worked!! I just bought a cheap bottle of zinc at Wal-Mart. The smell went away, and I had to get rid of some of my shoes and buy some new ones! I still take zinc in addition to my multi-vitamin, and the smell has never returned!! Good luck!

Hi R.. My brother-in-law's feet used to smell so bad, that when he took off his shoes at end of day, the whole house would smell.This is no joke. He worked at a Naval base and that's where someone told him to wash his feet with Clorox.I know that sounds crazy, but I also had smelly feet and I tried it. It really works. I haven't had foot odor in years and neither has my brother-in-law. Rub your son's feet with a little clorox and water. Maybe do it once or twice a week. When you notice them smelling again, do it again. Eventually they won't smell any more. Hope this helps.

answers from Austin on

Stinky feet (and breath) have been linked to yeast issues. The problem is likely internal, not external. Usually this sort of thing becomes an issue when we're older.

Yeast issues come up when our good bacteria, an important part of our immune system, are compromised. Yeast occurs naturally in the body and our good bacteria keep it in check so it doesn't get out of hand. But there are many ways our good bacteria can be compromised. Pro-biotic and biotin therapy is an excellent way to tackle this and have no adverse side effects. Garden of Life has the best broad spectrum pro-biotic used by medical professionals that I know of. It's expensive and worth every cent and you can get it at most local vitamin stores. However, if you cannot get this, Flora-Balance has an excellent probiotic as well. Not broad spectrum, but they also have very high standards and effects. OutletNutrition.com has the best price on Flora-Balance I've seen in a while. There are currently no known contraindications for biotin therapy. Biotin is a bi-product of your good gut bacteria. It's essential for the metabolization of fatty acids and sugars, supports the immune system and acts as a fungal growth inhibitor. There are no known adverse effects of these therapies even if there are no fungal issues, as they will simply support the body in its natural state.

Also, oregano extract is one of nature's strongest antifungals. In a way it's a "miracle" herb because it has a variety of good things about it. It supports the respiratory system, boosts the immune system, is an anti-fungal, anti-viral and ant-bacterial without compromising your friendly bacteria. Basil is another strong anti-fungal with garlic less so. Eating it is fine, but for a real issue, you need to get something more intense. Go for the extract capsule over oil for comfort - which you can find at Vitamin Shoppe.

All this being said, note: I am not a doctor or a health professional. My opinions are based on my own experience, research and conversations with various health professionals. And I provide them as amateur opinions only. Your choices regarding yours and your family's health are your own and made at your own risk. I encourage you to research these things for yourself and talk to your health professionals about any questions or concerns you may have.

OK, this is going to sound weird, haven't tried it, have no idea if it works, but it is worth a try. I saw on Oprah's Dr. OZ special one time about a year ago that soaking your feet in tea is supposed to neutralize the smell...something about the tannins in tea.

Are his hands sweaty alot too? I have over-active sweat glands and I sweat in very strange ways.

I don't remember a time when my feet smelled fine after emoving my shoes and my socks were always soaked.

You might check his other sweating habits, if any have started yet. He could have over-active sweat glands. Supposedly there is a shot out there that is a one time thing into the main sweat gland that regulates it. It's been a while since i have seen anything about it, but you could always do some research!

Hi R.! :)

There's this natural "Deodarent rock/crystal" (made from minerals) they sell at health food stores. It works great for armpits AND feet. You just wet the rock and rub it on the freshly cleaned stinky area. Lasts for up to 2 days. Make sure to smell the rock regularly. Sometimes if there is stink still left on your armpits or feet when you use it---it will obsorb teh smell and pass it along the next time you use it. To prevent/stop it, just run the rock under water while rubbing it for a few seconds.

The tea soak that many are talking about makes sense! Those de-tox foot pads that you wear to bed at night have tea in them! I guess the tea draws toxins and junk that collects in the feet. I teach yoga and we do inversions (anything that puts your feet above your heart) and we do them because toxins in your body collect in the feet (they even form crystals) putting your feet above your heart allows some of the toxins to release into the blood stream so that your body can get rid of them through elimination. If his bowel movements aren't regular that could be another problem. I don't usually have foot odor, but once when I had a job where I was on my feet for several hours, I had this pair of cotton canvas tennis shoes, they were comfortable, so I wore them they had an open heel so i didn't wear socks and my feet got so stinky after a few wears! I couldn't get the smell out of my shoes and everytime I wore them my feet would stink. So I started spraying them and my feet with antifungal foot spray every time that I wore them and there was no odor on my feet or in my shoes! I used the avon foot spray since I am a rep, it was easy to get for me. try the tea, try the spray, best of luck with his feet

This is going to sound crazy, But it works. I have a 14 year old daughter that had the same trouble. Go to the grocery store and get large tea bags. YES, Large Tea bags. Get something he can soak his feet in. Make up a large amount of Tea in the bucket and have him soak his feet for about 10-15 minutes. You can also soak shoes, but the tea will stain just about everything except dark colors. Have him do this once or twice a week for a 6-8 weeks. We noticed improvement after about the 2nd or 3rd time. A nurse at our pediatricians office told us about it. The odor comes from a fungus that lives on the skin. The tanic acid in the tea kills the fungus.
Good luck,

Everyone has great suggestions! If those suggestions do not work you may want ask your pediatrician. A fungus or ahtletes foot could be causing the smell. If the fungus is treated, the smell will go away.

I know my sister had this problem with a pair of shoes she loved. I actually had to throw the shoes away and tell her to wash her feet. Luckily once the shoes were gone so was the problem.

It sounds like since the shoes are not the problem that it could be symptoms of a bigger issue. Try some gold bond power in the shoes too.

Good luck!

you might want to check the Oprah website for past episodes. I remember she had Dr.Oz on and he was covering different topics.

wow....you are having a time of it. I wonder if it's allergy-related. Have you taken him to see a podiatrist? Or a dermatologist? Or an endocrinologist?

He may have some type of fungus. You should have him checked out by his pediatrician to rule out any illness. Otherwise, charcoal is a natural odor absorber. If you place charcoal in his shoes when he takes them off, it will help the shoes last longer. Body powder with baking soda may help, too. Have him wash often, and apply powder. Also, what kind of socks does he wear? Synthetic fabrics don't breathe, and cause odor. Make sure his socks are 100% cotton. If he can wear cotton or leather shoes, that would help, too. Manmade materials don't breathe and cause excess sweating.

I just had to chlorox my six year-old's daughter's pair of keds...soaked them in the chlorox water overnight and sun dried them...so far so good. I had a fungus in my toenail that made my feet stink too once, I didn't even know I had it, I was misdiagnosed as having "eczema." Once I took the medicine for the fungus, my feet cleared up and the smell was gone. Also, the moisture in shoes breeds bacteria, make sure he has two pairs of shoes that he alternates so one can "dry" out. Maybe leave them in the sun during the day. Good luck.

I found some information on a few medical sites; hope it helps.
The number one cause of foot odor is sweat. All the sights I looked at say that the worst thing for foot odor is cotton socks. Your son should wear a medium-bulk acrylic sock and sprinkle Zeasorb - an over-the-counter drying powder - into his shoes daily.
My ex-brother-in-law has horribly smelly feet; they still stink after he showers sometimes. Once a week he puts in new odor eater insoles and daily he puts a Snuggle fabric softener sheet under the odor eater. It greatly reduces the smell and he can actually take his shoes off around people without clearing the room.
Also, if your son's feet are red or have cracked skin he should see a doctor because that is a sign of something more serious.
I hope some of this helps you...good luck

Once he takes his one pair of shoes off stuff them with wadded up newspaper.(the news paper will absorb the oder) white cotton socks are best to wear. and no leather shoes it seams to make it worse. (the smell). my middle daughter had smelly feet and this worked for us. i wish you luck.

Each 15 ml. bottle goes a long way. There are approximately 380 drops of oil in each bottle. It usually only take a couple of drops per application.

Peppermint and rosemary are natural deodorizers. The Body Shop at Home sells naturally-based foot products. The spray is what my family uses, and it works. (All of the products are 100% satisfaction guaranteed too.) You can find it at www.thebodyshopathome.com/web/amyn.

try getting a pear of shoes that allows lots air flow. no leather shoes what so ever!!! trust me on that one. Also try putting some baking soda in them at night to absorb the sweat. you can even spray his feet with anti-fungal spray at night to help. Even thou you have tried sandles thy dont allow half of the foot the air flow that is needed with stinky feet.

I use to have that same problem and still do sometimes. What finally saved me from the smell of my own feet was going to payless and getting those airwalks (I think thats the name of them) and I dont have to use any sprays to hide the smell anymore. if you need I can send you a picture of them. I have been wearing them for over a year and havent had one problem. They allow tons of air flow so it keeps my feet from sweating alot. Plus with those kind of shoes you dont have to wear socks!!!!
