Men and women of the OT, I’m looking for a advice. I work a job that requires me to dress up all the time and wear dress socks and shoes. Those polyester and nylon dress socks make my feet sweat a lot. Even if I just wear them for a couple of hours, my feet sweat. By the end of the day, it’s pretty bad and it’s embarrassing.

Over time, my nice shoes end up being pretty smelly, and that’s embarrassing too.

Is there anything that can be done to stop feet from sweating, or do you just have to try to deal with it after the fact with foot powder, letting your shoes breathe, etc.? Are there any secrets that I just never learned about?

Any advice is appreciated.

How about try washing those nasty feet regularly.

Rotate shoes so you give each of them at least a day to dry.

And this may seem odd, most who complain of foot odor don't wash their feet properly.

Sprinkle gold bond on feet before putting on socks.

Are you a door to door vacuum cleaner salesman? Why are your feet sweating so much?

The smell is from bacteria on th skin, not the actual sweat.

Do more than just letting the shower water hitting them.

gold bond foot powder. Cotton socks in lieu of wool, synthetics.

Place a squirrel in your shoe, then put the shoe on. Squirrels eliminate foot odor.

Rotating shows and a boot dryer will help the shoes, but wash your damn feet. Like, fill a tub with water and a cup of bleach and wash them. You have foot fungus baw.

I think it’s just the sock material that makes my feet perspire. I can’t wear regular Hames cotton socks. They supposed to look dressy.

Find wool dress socks. It will pull the moisture away from your feet.

gold bond is one hell of a product

i know they have stuff for feet smell, but even the normal gold bond stuff would work.
