Thursday Plantation - which is based in Australia, home to the Melaleuca plant from which tea tree oil is derived - has a collection of antifungal products, including a deodorizing, talc-free foot powder, as well as a spray. Powders are messy but necessary for serious offenses; the spray is a better alternative for less heinous stink, whether it's from shoes or feet. The products...
