At-Home Cures For Foot Odor ... Luckily, there are several things you can do in the comfort of your own home to help reduce foot odor.  Tea, for example, is often very successful when it comes to eliminating foot odor.  Black tea contains tannic acid, which exhibits anti-bacterial properties.  Boil a large pot of tea and then pour it into a foot-sized tub.  Let it cool before you stick your feet in.   Soak your feet for 10 to 30 minutes.  Be warned!  You may need to scrub your feet with soap and water afterwards if the tea stains your skin.  Some people recommend chamomile tea (the sweet smell of the chamomile flower is an added bonus), while others suggest soaking the feet for up to an hour in cider vinegar and warm water.  Obviously no one has an hour to soak his or her feet everyday.  But if you notice the stench is becoming particularly offensive, soak your feet every day for a week until you get the odor under control again...

Both foot and hand go cold;
But belly, God send thee good ale enough;
Whether it be new or old!
