Warm weather can give your feet a less than sweet smell. As a remedy, antibacterial properties of black tea can help.

Steep tea bags in boiling water for at least 15 minutes. Fill basin with cool water and stir in tea. Sock feet for 30 minutes. Repeat daily for 1 week.

True. My uncle tried this before and he claimed it worked. He always wears boots to work and sometimes when it snows his feet gets soaked. But he still has work to do so he can't just take a break and change socks and boots. So he goes home with stinking feet which causes my aunt grief. She talked to her doctor about this and he prescribed some food powder as well as the tea soak you mentioned. I think they did it three times a week for 6 months. Quite a long time but they both claim that the odor never returned. :) So it's all worth it.
