Drill holes in your shoes. They wont look as formal, but they will breathe.

How is this food related? Sounds like you need foot powder or talcum powder for the sweat. My husband has the same problem and uses baby powder and odre eaters insoles.

obviously your shoes have no ventilation holes in them. Short of buying new shoes, try wearing black cotton sport socks instead of nylon dress socks & buy some odor eater insoles that are made to absorb perspiration.

You are not doing anything wrong, you just are a victim of very sweaty feet. Wash your feet well with a anti-bacterial soap, dry well and if you want, rub anti-perspirent on the soles of your feet and then powder them well. Your socks may also be contributing to your foot sweat. You need to find some socks that are made out of Cool-Max material. They wick sweat away from your skin and out into the air, helping with excessive wetness. Are your shoes all leather inside and out? If not, they may also be contributing to your wet feet. Rockport makes an awesome dress shoe, all leather and extremely lightweight. They are not cheap, but they may help.

I found this on a web site about sweaty/smelly feet, maybe will help:

Shower regularly with anti-bacterial soap.
Use foot powders and sprays specifically designed to keep feet dry.
One foot odor remedy is to change your shoes and socks often.
Rotate your shoes (especially athletic shoes).
Use insoles that can be changed frequently to prevent the odor from staying in your shoe.
Another foot odor remedy is to wear sandals during warm weather.
Launder, disinfect or discard foul smelling shoes.

If foot odor persists and a foot odor remedy does not work, and if excessive sweating becomes a problem in other areas of your body, please consult a physician.

well sometimes people just have sweaty feet.
try wearing a thinner sock.

i hope this helps! :]

Wear some white socks. The black ones make my feet sweat too. If you need to wear a dark color for your suit they make a special white sock with a black top.
