Hi Moms
My 8yr old daughter has the stinkiest feet EVER! I dont want to embaress he by speeking to the doctor about it in front of her. Any of you have children with stinky feet? Have any suggestions on a "cure"

Thank you everyone. as usual you have great ideas. I havent tryed the tea yet but im defiatly going to. For know I have gotten new sneakers and sock and wash her feet every night before bed.
Both of my kids have stinky feet. The solution that has worked for me is buying the Odor Eater Heavy Duty insoles and you cut them down to the size of the insole in your kids shoe. The charcoal activated insole rids the feet of stink. You will have to replace the insoles every few weeks, but it is worth it.
I was going to say the same thing Liz did before me about Dr. oz and tea bags. Also, don't buy her socks with polyester in them. Cotton socks are best. And when she's in the house have her take her shoes off so her feet breathe.
stinky feet may be caused by a buildup of dead skin cells and bacteria. I would scrub them every night in the bathtub with soap and warm water and a wash cloth. Also, soaking them in tea water can help too. I saw that on Oprah with dr. Oz. But I would start with scrubbing them every night and if they are extremely sweating during the day, I would consider antipersperant and switching shoes. She should not be wearing shoes without socks and if her shoes smell, I would get rid of them and get her two pairs that she can wear every other day. I would also, suggest making sure she doesn't wear dirty socks. Good luck. I had stinky feet at one time and all is took was one good scrub.
Foot powder works for my kids. We use the WalMart store brand.
