    Really BAD foot ordor

    Any one else suffer from bad foot odor after a long workout? My gym shoes smell horrible after a couple hours, and leaving them in the car is deadly.
    My dogs won't even touch them and they are notorious for chewing on shoes.

    Just looking for advice or help to bring the stench down to a legal level...

    Edit:
    Title should read 'odor'
    I'm a genius.
    If you can bench more than you can squat, you're doing it wrong!

    Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) works for majority of people- sprinkle it before wearing shoes.

    if the bicarbonate doesnt work, try putting selenium sulfide shampoo on the feet daily, then spray feet with diluted peppermint oil (or use gold bond medicated powder)

    buy new shoes and socks as well to prevent transfer of the offending bacteria or fungi.

    Baking soda seems like a good idea, never heard of the shampoo idea, may have to try that out.

    The peppermint or some essential oil extract will help a ton as well. Selenium sulfide is really good at killing fungus and bacteria and the sulfur is good for the skin.

    I actually recommend doing the baking soda and selenium sulfide and the essential oil, for 2 weeks then just drop back to essential oils and baking soda. And that's when you get new shoes and socks. That way everything will be dead before you get new footwear.
