 why not suggest you have a shower together when he gets too your house, this way it gets rid of the smelly feet without him knowing about it and also it is a great way for you too bond.

 Do you agree that he has a problem, even if it doesn't bother you? In other words, does your mother have a point? If so, then your choice seems to be bringing up the issue with him or not having him in your house. It's a difficult issue to raise, no doubt about it, but if it really is bad you're doing him a favour. There are lots of products on the market -- inserts for shoes and boots that absorb odours, for example. Give him some.
