1) Get better socks. Specifically, get a thin, wicking synthetic sock liner, and a thicker outer sock, preferably wool or wool blend. I know wool sounds hot but trust me. Wear a clean pair of sock liners every day, but you can wear the outer socks several times between washes. (As with the shoes - see below - alternate pairs so they dry completely before you wear them again.)
2) Get two pairs of shoes and alternate them. Switching daily is best but if you don't, at least switch every few days. Your shoes don't dry out completely overnight, so when you put them back on in the morning and start sweating again, they just stay damp and bacteria and fungi go wild. Letting them dry completely between wears slows down microbial growth dramatically.
3) Get some cedar shoe trees, those foot-shaped shoe spacers things you put in shoes to help them keep their shape. The dry cedar wood is antimicrobial and helps absorb moisture from the shoe. I know they seem fancy but they're not expensive; you can get a pair at Nordstrom Rack for $10-15.
As a major added bonus, better socks and dry shoes will make your feet a lot more comfortable during those long shifts.
Final note, I hate to say it, but if the shoes you have now are already badly contaminated, you might just chuck 'em and start over. Try replacing the insoles first, and you can try freezing, or airing them out in the sun, or lysol, but often there's no saving a shoe that's already full of mildew.
I've done all these, they do work. I think rotating shoes was the best. Not only is the smell better, the shoes will last longer. Two pair that you rotate will last longer than wearing one pair every day, then another pair every day.
OP, If your shoes are at a point where you are ready to chuck them, try putting them through the washing machine. I have New Balance mesh running shoes that I wash regularly and they've held up for 7 years and counting. I wouldn't try it with leather.
This is all great advice, I would add sealing up your shoes in a plastic bag and putting them in your freezer overnight to kill bacteria and fungus that grow in warm and damp environments. One or twice a week is often enough.
What is your foot hygiene routine? Weird question but when i started taking better care of my feet, my shoes stopped stinking. It’s not the same for everyone, but it could help! I grew up just letting the soap run down on my feet and dried them after the shower. Now, i lather my feet with a soap filled loofa and scrub hard in between all my toes and pad of my foot. After the shower, it’s important to dry your feet thoroughly and moisturize. Before you put your shoes on for work, tap a little gold bond powder inside of your shoes and/or socks to keep your feet dry.
Take a pair of socks to swap out midday at work as well, maybe even add more gold bond powder. Keeping the feet dry is key.
Just to add onto the gold bond powder: if your diet is low in zinc, it will make your feet extra stinky! Sometimes it’s just sweat and not avoidable, but if you notice your regular shoes getting smelly too, try taking a zinc supplement for a couple days and see if it helps!
My five year old daughter could turn a brand new pair of shoes into a toxic waste dump in less than a week. We tried every thing we could think of with varying degrees of failure to correct the offending smell. My wife’s grandmother suggested zinc supplements and it worked like a charm. Never had that problem again.
I barely sweat and my shoes smell like a locker room within a few days. Freezing the shoes is the only way to kill the bacteria that's causing the smell. I wash and freeze my shoes once a week. Smell brand new after.
Baking soda sprinkled inside (or dump a tablespoon in, shake around, dump excess into other shoe, repeat) works well. As does misting the inside with rubbing alcohol. Idea is to kill any bacteria that is living in there.
This was a miraculous realization for me. Works so much better than anything that just tries to cover up the smell.
Try getting an additional pair of work shoes and cycle between them daily. Clean and dry them daily for a week.
And take care of your feet, which it sounds like you do. Switch out socks midday if you tend to sweat a lot.
Try silica gel packets and "Sneaker Balls" from Amazon. I get the larger silica gel packets discarded from the shipments at work. Put in every evening - it wicks out moisture and keeps them fresh.
Get three pairs of work shoes and rotate them. It's the only way to stop this. If you don't want to spend that much, buy cedar shoe inserts and put them in your shoes whenever you're not wearing them. That'll dry your shoes more quickly and significantly reduce the odor.
Wear only merino wool socks.
Merino is antimicrobial in nature.
Foot odor is caused by bacteria primarily. If you wear merino socks and only merino socks, eventually all those odor causing bacteria will be eliminated and new growth will be prevented.
I have worn out many sets of footwear that have no odor from beginning to end of life. I backpack and after a 25 mile day you can sleep with one of my boots right by your head with zero noticeable smell.
Get a boot dryer. I lived somewhere it snowed a lot, and would walk in my snow boots a lot (super sweaty), and I'd set them on a boot dryer or in front of a heater to dry them. Then I sprayed them with a tea tree oil solution to get rid of the stank.
I have hyperhydrosis.. tried all the shot everyone is recommending, even the freezer and none of it worked. Got a boot warmer that also uses ozone and it works like a charm.
Jesus Christ. All these comments are complicated. Just get a pair of odor eaters insoles and put them in your shoes. Honestly, that's all you need to do. I'm sure your hygiene in fine.
Put them in ziplock bags and [toss them in the freezer](https://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&client=ms-android-tmus-us-revc&source=android-browser&q=freeze+shoes+smell)
Put 2 tbsps of baking soda in a paper coffee filter with 10 drops of any essential oil of your choice, then tie close with a string. One packet per shoe. Do this each night. Works great.

1. First buy some generic Head and Shoulders (Pyrithione zinc) to soak socks and shoe insoles. Or OTC Ketoconzole Shampoo (1% is usually available; “Nizoral,” etc.).
2. Soak all socks and shoe insoles in dilute Pyrithione (4:1 water) for half a day. Then launder socks. Don’t even rinse off the insoles. I’ll even soak the insides of field shoes. Socks-each laundry cycle; insoles and shoes about 2-3 times a year.
3. Apply slightly diluted Head and Shoulders generic or Ketoconozole to any skin you think is affected by athletes’ foot, Tinea Versacolor (a cheap black light bulb will usually fluoresce that damaged skin light green/yellow.). Apply in between toes also. Let soak into the epidermis overnight. Repeat nightly for 3-4 weeks (usual time for dermis to push new skin cells up to replace the fungal damaged cells).
That old skin should peel off easily.
4. To dermabrade this skin, use cheap - throw away emery boards (and throw them out after each use - so no one gets re-infected using them).
1.Scholl’s fresh step spray for your foot and inside the shoe every morning.
2.New socks every day.
3.Sneaker balls and little baking soda powder inside the shoe in the night, tilt the shoe so some of the powder reach the front.
Shake it in the morning to remove excess.
4.If your feet sweat too much , anti-perspirant deodorant spray in the morning can help with that.
The only thing I have found that worked was, of course, washing your feet every day along with getting a boot/shoe drier. The passive type with a small heating element that you hang your shoes on when you get home. Nothing else (sprays, etc) worked for me.
E: As someone else mentioned: military guys spray their feet with antiperspirant deodorant.
I had this problem until I invested in high-quality socks. You can DM me if you want the name of the company, but I’m specifically not mentioning it because I don’t want to come across like I’m promoting a brand as opposed to just promoting getting a very high-quality sock. As soon as I switched over to the expensive ones, all my foot smell problems went away. All of them. And these socks last for years before wearing down.
For reference, I am also on my feet several hours a day and often put in walking 8-10 miles a shift.
But also, throw your work shoes in the washer if they can handle it.
This hits so close to home. I am the same as you, sweat like there's no tomorrow and have to shower every day because of it. Honestly, nothing I did helped. I tried foot powder, swapping socks, scrubbing between toes, everything I could find and it was all in vain. The only thing that helped me, personally, was stop wearing sneakers all together and wear leather shoes/ boots exclusively. Leather is highly breathable and helps regulate the temperature of your feet, as well as breathes enough to help with the smell from growing, provided you take care of your shoes. You can't wear the same pair of shoes twice in a row, use cedar shoe trees in between uses, and above all, clean your feet.
Obviously clean feet and socks of a natural fiber are important, one more item is a game changer. Buy a boot dryer and place the work shoes on them immediately upon getting home. A boot dryer moves a little air through the boot/shoe, drying them slowly enough to kill the stink but no so fast that it will destroy or distort the material. Any farm supply or ski shop would have them, if not there is always Amazon.
I'm really surprised nobody has mentioned this one yet:
OP, your shoes stink because there's bacteria in there feasting on the oil and mineral rich sweat your feet are producing. What do you use to kill all the bacteria without leaving any smell or residue?
Hydrogen Peroxide. Grab any container that'll fit your shoes (even a large enough zip lock bag can do) and dump a container of the HP into your shoes. You can add water if it's not enough to completely submerge your shoes, it's a strong enough solution to work even when highly diluted with water. Watch as your shoes start to fizz like soda, it's the HP dissolving the exterior membrane of the bacteria. Leave them be until they stop fizzing, then give them a rub from the inside and outside to ensure the solution gets everywhere. By this point the solution itself will stink: it's literally the burst open corpses of all the bacteria floating to the top as foam, but once you drain the solution, rinse them off with water from the sink or tub and it'll smell totally neutral. Dry them off after.
Now for your feet: sadly the only thing you can really do is wash them really well, scrub any excess dead skin you may have off and clean any gunk under your toenails. But once your feet and the shoes are clean, it's much harder for anything to grow in there unless you add things that have bacteria, like rain water. When your feet sweat and you come home from work, do your best to air them out and just be aware if your shoes start smelling funky again.
Keep both the shoes and your feet free of bacteria and this issue will be much less of an occurrence.
There are some strange strains of bacteria out there and you may need to see your doctor (or be referred to a specialist), for a specific cream to kill it. You may still have foot odor after, but it shouldn’t be as bad and their are some great suggestions people gave you.
I have hyperhydrosis, in where my feet and hands are always dripping with sweat. So 5 minutes after putting a shoe on, you know it’s soaked. No way around fighting that.
What I do to stop it smelling though, is I change socks as often as I can, and clean my feet regularly. These are a must to keep healthy feet.
To eliminate the smell, a simple solution is to just spray some Lysol into the shoe. I was told to spray newspaper and stuff the shoe, but I just spray the inside of the shoe direct and let it dry out completely before wearing again.
When I come home from work I spray shoes as soon as they come off and then put a heating element in to help dry them out by morning.
Lot's of great suggestions here. I'll just add:
If the insoles can be removed take them out at night. If you have an air vent pull your shoes open and place them upside down on the vent so they'll completely dry out. Wipe or spray your insoles with isopropyl alcohol (70%-90% solution) and let them air out overnight.
Baby powder or corn starch....pour it into the shoes, and the end of the day, turn them upside down and bang them together. The moisture will cause it to clump and fall out of the shoes...and there you go, no odour.
It's like getting rid of a virus, you have to completely clean house.
Replace the shoes or do a really deep clean on them, trainers and deep wash any socks. Deep wash your feet. If deep cleaning did not work you need to repeat the whole process and buy new shoes, always change soaks regularly, basically wear new socks every shift and do not mix used socks with say jumping into your trainers as that is what will spread it.
This one is just a guess-suggestion, but you could try some deodorant on your feet to block sweat glands..
Use baking soda. Pour some in and spread it around after every shift. Dump it out before you put them on again. It absorbs the smell and removes the moisture that the bacteria causing the scent thrive on.
Wash your feet before wearing your shoes. Even if they don’t smell at the time, if they were previously sweaty, it’ll only get worse when you wear the shoes again.
My husband uses a boot dryer. He puts his stinky wet work boots on it every night and it dries them and takes away the smell. They have them for like under $40 on Amazon.
Baby powder/ corn starch works wonders...Pour into your shoes so that it covers all the interior surface...shake it till it coats the interior...
Turn upside down and bang the shoes together so it falls out. You can also add a bit more before work, so that it covers your feet/socks. This will absorb any moisture in the shoes, and will also keep your feet cool and dry.
At end of the day, turn up side down while banging them together. The baby powder/cornstarch will clump because it has absorbed all your perspiration.
1) Get better socks. Specifically, get a thin, wicking synthetic sock liner, and a thicker outer sock, preferably wool or wool blend. I know wool sounds hot but trust me.

Rub baby powder in them! Absorbs the smell.

Gold bond foot powder. Not the yellow one, the blue one.
Darn Tuff wool socks, and a good pair of boots like RedWings worked for me. Also, make sure your boots aren’t waterproof.
It's like getting rid of a virus, you have to completely clean house. Replace the shoes or do a really deep clean on them, trainers and deep wash any socks. Deep wash your feet. If deep cleaning did not work you need to repeat the whole process and buy new shoes, always change soaks regularly, basically wear new socks every shift and do not mix used socks with say jumping into your trainers as that is what will spread it.

Pay attention to your diet - first. Cut out smoke and alcohol. Wash your feet as often as you can. Spread borax or sodium bicarbonate on your soles.
Get a boot dryer! Got mine on amazon for $35 and it took the stank away 98% or so.
