stinky feet when wearing sandals?

I live in Florida and wear sandals all the time. I do not know how to put this delicately. It has gotten to the point where I cannot stand the way my own feel smell in sandals. I bathe every day, do not have fungus in my feet (I asked the doctor yesterday), and do not think I have particularly bad personal hygiene. But lately I am very conscientious of foot smell. Here are some steps I am taking. 1. I am making sure I am letting my ecco sandals dry out between wearings (they are the only kind I wear). 2. I using medicated powder on my feet after showers to see if this will help 3. I am even putting my sandals in the freezer in bags to see if that will make them fresher. Does anyone else have any ideas how to make your feet smell wonderful -- without wearing socks -- when living in a hot tropical climate such as Florida year round and only wearing sandals all the time?

    Throw your sandals away, they are penatrated with bugs and sweat.

    If you cannot hot wash them then bin them.

    I have the same problem when I wear my Teva Sandal sin the warm months after I have been wearing them for several hours during the day. As soon as I take them off they can smell bad. What I do is I never wear the same pair 2 days in a row. I will wear a different pair as the other pair I wore previously dry out.

    Are you feet clean and dry before putting sandals on? Foot powder spray might help..

    There's also talcum but residue might show up on them.
