It's a crazy trick, and I found it online some time ago which really worked, which is to pee on your feet and just let it sit a little while before washing. It's really the simplest trick and it's even a long time solution. I used to have such bad stinky feet that even after scrubbing it twice with soap, people can still smell it.
Apparently, the bacteria which is generated in our pee counters the bacteria which live in our feet. So it only works with our own pee by the way. How convenient is that? There is absolutely no reason anyone shouldn't try it in the shower. For absolute effect, soak it, but I didn't. Just did it in the shower and 2 minutes later, washed it off.

Pennies. Me and a friend I went to high school with were having one of those dumb conversations that you have once you have a couple of beers under your belt about how pennies cost more than their value and he said just about the most interesting thing. Pennies are made of both copper and zinc (which are naturally antibiotic) and if you put them in your shoes between wearing them they will kill off stink producing bacteria. He majored in chemistry so I thought I'd at least give it a try. I only had about six pennies but I threw three in each of my work boots and wouldn't you know it, it worked.
