Only when I wear boots and heavy socks. Probably due to feet sweating.

Only when I do something physical that causes me to sweat, and only then if I keep my shoes/socks on for most of the day, which I usually don't

i think foot odor is caused by bacteria reacting to sweat. so i'd guess the difference between people with and without smelly feet is bacteria on the skin or in the body itself coming out through the sweat. i've never had stinky feet and i wouldn't be surprised if its because of my habit of taking garlic supplements.

couldn't hurt to try some odorless garlic gelcaps for a week or two and see if it goes away on its own that way. just make sure to get the right kind...as long as you get the odorless gelcaps you don't have to worry about replacing the foot smell with garlic smell

Athletes foot creme (spray just masks it, doesn't cure) + New shoes

No, although my Sebago's have acquired a rather musky scent.

its called

fresh fogger "the ultimate deodorizer"

There is a written explanation online about why foot odor happens, it has to do with bacteria, but it's their excrement that smells and the shoes never drying out is the cause of it happening in the first place, once the smell is there it's hard to get rid of wash your insoles and use vinegar in the wash, don't worry you won't walk around smelling like vinegar, the smell goes away once it's dry.

alternating shoes is what I've always been told to do. baby powder will just give the bacteria something else to munch on, lol. It doesn't soak up nearly enough moisture to make a difference for someone who is on their feet at work. athelete's foot cream only works if you actually have athelete's foot.

When I lived in AZ I did try the gold bond medicated powder, and its nice and tingly on the feet, dunno that it does more than that.
