If cleaning and dusting foot powder doesn't show results, it's pitta dominant kaphaj vitiation giving foul smell. Pl continue cleaning as before except that try to wash feet with neem water at least twice and follow wash with kewra extract. Change socks every time you bring feet out. Oral medicines (palliative and kapha pitta naashak) are required orally for few weeks which will have control on smell and sweating of feet.
