Oh, foot doctor?!
 
I start sweating from the second I lace up to about two hours after the game. It doesn't matter if it is a junior high cracker box gym or a college size floor, it is just my nature. Just like that other stuff, sweat runs down hill and pools in my shoes. Consequently, although my shoes are only a month old, they already smell like a teenage boy's closet. I remove the insoles and have tried Scholl's Foot powder and spray anti-fungals but the best I can say is they only dent the odor issue. Any smelly brethren with an answer out there?:eek:

Sweat valves
 
Have you tried drilling some holes in the soles for drainage?;)

Perhaps some type of shoe with a more breathable material?

Not much else you can do about the cause of this problem, which is inherited, other than surgery. Anti-fungals won't help with the odor, which is caused by bacteria. Keep the shoes as dry as possible, and you might try Lysol. :confused:

in between games, try putting some newspapers in there. it will help dry them up faster, perhaps taking care of some of the odor... don't know if it will work, but it is worth a try.

use talc powder -- great for absorbtion of dampness.

I haven't even tied one on yet, and I already feel queasy.

Someone needs to give you the boot.

Wear multiple pair of socks too.

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.

He said the odor is unpleasant, why make the shoes breathable, too?

Let's see. We got the belt, shirt and socks all in one sentence. All in a thread about "shoes". Missed the pants somehow though.

Maybe in the next post.
