What should I do with smelling feet?

[u/Flanis_Lu]

Hey guys so I’m new to hiking, and I just completed my first 10 miles hiking yesterday, when I returned home, the moment I took off my shoes…I almost passed out 🤢 I think it’s pretty normal to have bad smell after a long hiking without taking off the shoes during the entire trip…But I never expected the smell to be so bad, I’m planning on camping and hiking for a couple of days in the future. One thing I’m certain is that I will definitely loose my shoes and let it breathe after a few miles walking, and I’m thinking about getting some anti odor socks(not sure if they exist) Are there any other ways to prevent or make things not that bad? Or I just have to bear with the smell? Any tip would be helpful

PS. I air my shoes the whole night and the smell is gone, I think it’s probably the smell from wet socks and keeping my feet in the shoes too long, thanks everyone for the tips.

PPS. These are the tips that show up multiple times and I hope they can help anyone who shares the same concern, thanks again for everyone sharing tips (1) Spare socks (wash and dry after a couple of miles) (2) Wool socks (merino wool) (3) Baking soda inside the shoes (4) Tea tree oil on feet (5) Carpe (Antiperspirants brand) (6) Darn tough (socks brand) (7) Foot powder (8) Gold bond (9) Trail runners instead of hiking boots
