Sweaty feet help?

Raymond Gray2 said:So, I’ve got this weird whitish stuff between my toes, and it feels like the skin there is getting super thin. I already hit up my dermatologist about it, but they couldn't find anything—even ran a fungus test and came up totally clean. My feet definitely sweat like crazy, though... could that be the culprit? Does sweat just eat away at your skin? If anyone else has dealt with something similar, please let me know! Any advice or tips on how to stop my feet from sweating so much would be amazing.

Try a foot soak with plenty of sea salt and maybe a little citric acid (like half a teaspoon) or even just some lemon juice (half a lemon).
Instead of using talcum powder, try baking soda—it helps cut down on the sweating.

Just wanted to bring up this old topic again... man, the smell coming off my feet is just brutal. I get home after work, having spent nine hours straight sitting in an office, and my feet smell like absolute death... of course, it only happens when I'm wearing sneakers... in dress shoes, everything is totally fine.

So, what's actually the better fix? Should I be dropping a fortune on high-end kicks like some Nike Airs, or is it more about those deodorizing sprays and liquids? Maybe it's the insoles? Or should I just stop wearing them all summer long?

I honestly had my own personal fashion catastrophe once when I decided to pair sneakers with sheer pantyhose. Yeah, yeah, I know—even someone losing their marbles wouldn't dream of doing that today, but back in the eighties, it wasn't such a bizarre move. These days, I just can't deal with nylon. Most of the time, I stick to thin cotton ankle socks. For me, it's mostly because my feet tend to sweat way too much in certain types of hosiery.

Hey everyone,..just like the title says.

Picked up some new sneakers a few days ago and they already smell like death..😠

Basically, my feet sweat like crazy, and when you mix that with low-cotton socks, the stench is unbearable...😲

Looking for your thoughts or any actual fixes for this. Thanks.

Hot water, some soap, cotton socks, and maybe some antiperspirant or foot powder... oh, and honestly? Probably some antifungal cream too just to be safe.

Personally, I swear by that Leader 1 cream—I just apply it once a week, but man, does it kill the odor. Guaranteed. You can usually just grab some at a local CVS or a grocery store...

You also have what people call "pedal" issues... I am certain he used those in the past, even though he didn't face any major complications at the time... however, he claims that using them actually interferes with the body's natural ability to sweat properly. 🤷

This issue becomes particularly aggressive during the transition from winter to spring. Lately, it’s been an absolute disaster. I’m stuck in shoes all day, and by the evening, my feet feel like they've been left on a hot skillet. I use TriDerm cream, which offers some relief overnight, but the cycle just repeats itself by the next morning.
Can anyone recommend an effective antiperspirant? I’ve tried Urotropin gel, but it was useless. Price isn't an issue; I just need something that actually works...
I have another family member dealing with this exact same thing.

Try soaking your feet in warm water infused with black tea—the Indian kind—for about 30 minutes. Do this for at least a week. That tea is packed with tannins, which actually help stop the sweating. After that, just stick to cotton socks, swap them out constantly, and for heaven's sake, don't wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row.

It totally works, I'm telling you!

That "blessed" Pedesal is impossible to find now—not in the US, Canada, or anywhere else. All this other junk like Scholl or Lush is useless. I've tried everything...
If anyone knows what happened to it, let me know.

Leader? Please. That stuff is total garbage...

So, I was checking things out at the CVS, and they actually have this liquid powder stuff containing urotropin... but apparently, you can't just go overboard with it. You aren't supposed to use it long-term. Like, maybe for a week max on legs that are super clean and wiped down properly... then you gotta stop applying it and just bring it back whenever you actually need it again.
