I found that scrubbing my feet with a stiff brush and soap, changing socks after any exercise and not wearing shoes in the house got rid of all foot odour problems.
A quick rub with some shower gel wasn't enough. Sprays, talcs and the rest just mask the symptom rather than going after the problem

Originally posted by hyperD View PostYes, there is something odd about the interaction between feet, socks, sweat and shoes. I had a pair of trainers that evolved into the same offensive genus of creature that you have just described. Spraying deodorant and talc into them seemed to accelerate the mutation further until I was forced to exorcise them. In a bin. Far, far away.

Trouble is, they’re perfect training shoes for me and I can’t find the same type in the shops any more. They also ensure that I'm left in peace when I use the rowing machine or the weights at the local gym.
I’ve resorted to washing them outdoors in a bucket of water with bathroom cleaner and hanging them outside to dry.
I think it's something to do with the body releasing ketones while training combined with stepping in dogtulip on the rugby pitch.

Chemistry's brilliant!
Note the imaginative names for smelly compounds;
"Who-Me?"
Five ingredients are used to make this sulfur-based chemical, which smells of rotting carcasses. "Who-Me?" was developed during World War II so that French resistance fighters could humiliate German soldiers by making them stink.
Inhalation can cause nausea, headaches, lack of coordination, as well as kidney and liver damage.

Don't worry about my carbon emissions. It's the hydrogen sulfide that'll get you.

I sort of wonder how a manufacturer firmly cabled up to the National Grid is going to reduce his Carbon Emissions by "becoming more efficient". So are they saying they didn't care about the electricity bills? Probably cheaper to pay the fine than employ an army of energy saving experts to fill out the forms. Just basically an increase in business tax, a sort of insdiscriminate tax really that will just hit manufacturers hard instead of banks, insurance companies and hairdressers. Well Napolen did say we were a nation of shopkeepers.
