I think you also need to seriously go get a checkup. You should not be sweating that profusely, which has a lot to do with what you eat or take in. All this is coming out when you workout, which of course is good, but the amount is way too much. Try to eat a more fiber, green leaf type diet and see if that helps. Again, I would go and have a checkup and definitely mention you are sweating alot. I belt your shirt is socked too.
Well now, Dr., I'm so glad you joined the board. Now, can you do something about this pain in my Dexter?

When I was in college I had some over excessive sweat glands. My doctor gave me a special anti-perpirant to use. It was a high concentration of aluminum chloride only available by perscription. Check with your family doc or maybe even a dermitologist. It really did work - I think if you'd apply it to the bottom of your feet, it would stop your feet from sweating.

Sounds like you might have tolio. Could be worse, you could have kneasles. And then.......

The Scholl's powder works well, but you must use it for a period of time before you will notice any change. Eventually your shoes should smell fine, just give it some time. Also you could try some sort of antiperspirant on your feet, but I have no idea if that will work or not.

You need to watchout about how much you put inside the shoe - several pairs of socks along with insoles can take up the room you have in there and put undo pressure on your toes or toe nail areas and cuase other problems that will be far worse. Speaking from personal experience - durring a camp I used several pairs of socks and insoles over the three day period and damaged 4 toenails to the point that they had too come off - Go to a running store and get the shoes sized properly.
Also I carry two pair and extra socks if it is too wet I change them at the half or between games of a double header.

Take a pair of sandals or flip-flops with you to wear in the locker room and do not put your socks and shoes on until about five minutes before you are ready to take the floor. Immediately (or as soon as you can) after the game rinse off in a shower that is not steaming hot for about five minutes then sit and relax for about 10 minutes or so and then go back and take a long luke warm shower. Hot water will do nothing to lower your internal core temperature and it is not good for your skin. May speed up the cooling down process and help you stop sweating - also get water into your system.

That's ok, we have no idea either.

Fwiw, I agree with some of the suggestions. Don't overload your shoes, because that will cause more problems down the road. Give the powder time to work. Most odor problems are caused by bacteria forming when the sweat doesn't evaporate, so you should try to dry things off as soon as possible, or keep things from getting too wet in the first place. I also agree if it seems like you're always the "wettest" person in your crew, you might have a doctor check things out in case there is a more serious underlying problem.

On the other hand, I've had coaches ask me how come I'm not working as hard as my partner, who's standing across the floor dripping in sweat. Maybe looking like you're the hardest-working person on the crew isn't always so bad?

I wouldn't know much about during the game but maybe try putting the shoes and the insoles in front of a table top fan when you get home. That way at least they would be dry at the beginning of your games.

There are socks that keep your feet dry, I think the fabric name is Dryweave. There are deodorant absorbing inserts that can be purchased in a sporting goods store that also help relieve the odor between wearings. Other tips: change socks after every game, or even after every half, don't wear patent leather (a fancy name for plastic), keep a spare pair of deodorant insoles and change between games.

Also make sure you don't have a fungus infection.
