Today, when my roommate asked me what was wrong, I told him that something I ate was making me feel sick. He works 10+ hours a day, and I didn't have the heart to tell him that the putrid smell of his feet was making me nauseous. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had a terrible stomach ache and had some pretty bad gas at work. I tried to head down to the basement for a while to allow my coworkers to continue in peace. About an hour after I came back up, my boss called pest control due to the horrible smell that "must be dead rats". FML
Today, while on lunch break, my fat, old co-worker walked into the break-room. I managed to block out his perverted heavy breathing, but had to leave when he began emitting a terrible odor that smelled like cheesy, sweaty molding feet. I barely held onto my lunch. FML
Today, my roommate stunk up the entire floor again with his rancid bathroom trips from spicy foods so much that I ended up wearing a t-shirt over my nose just to play video games in my own room. He gets offended when I tell him to open the bathroom window to vent it out. If only I owned my own home… FML
Today, I woke up feeling extremely nauseous. When I started to feel better, I felt like I needed to spit. I went into the bathroom and opened the toilet to see someone had taken a giant crap the night before and forgotten to flush. The smell made me vomit all over my feet. FML
Today, I threw up while on a road trip. My boyfriend asked what made me sick, but I didn't want to tell him that his belching the entire time smelled so goddamn bad it made me physically sick. FML
Today, at the coffee shop where I work, my supervisor smelled "something weird, like sulfur." I spent the next ten minutes pretending to look for the source of the smell with her, rather than admit that it had come from me. FML
Today, I got a new roommate in the dorms. When I got back to my room, I could smell her feet before I even opened my door. FML
Today, I’m stuck in a small office with a colleague with one of the worst cases of BO I’ve ever come across. He has already been spoken to about it, and I’m developing a nauseous headache from the stench. FML
Today, I spent most of the day with my stinkiest co-worker's soggy shoes level with my face. FML
Today, I had to train a new guy whose body odor was killing me. After he'd left, I had to run two industry size fans to blow the stench out of my office. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think he would prefer you tell him than let him walk around smelling that badly. He could get fired if it's as bad as you say and customers smell it. Just be polite about it and he'll likely just say thanks and go have a shower.

OP depending on if his feet smell with shoes or not, you may want to tell him because he could get fired from his job. If you do choose to tell him make sure you do it as nice as possible.

If it's that horrendous you think he would be able to smell them too...

If he's working ten hours a day I doubt he's doing retail

Some people can't help their foot odor. I think you should tell him but also get him some talc based foot powder. It helped me, maybe it'll help you too.

I've had to go days without cleaning my feet (weeks if you don't count baby wipes) and my feet didn't have an exaggerated stench to them throughout that time, also that was in combat boots. As long as the guy changes his socks daily, he shouldn't have a ridiculous foot odor. If he has athletes foot, that's a different story in which case he should get that fixed

Some people just have very bad smelling feet. I do from genetics, all of my dads family have smelly feet sadly and sometimes you have to do a little extra to help it. I found that the foot sprays and powders really do work and scrubbing my feet in the shower.
