5 Ways to Get Rid of Stinky Feet
"Fun fact, your feet have more sweat glands in them than anywhere else on your body," Taylor Wiegele, the co-founder of the odor-absorbing shoe insert brand Zorpads, says. According to Wiegele, "the sweat doesn’t actually smell like anything."
Foot odor and infections happen when the bacteria that live on your skin and in your shoes eat your sweat. (Ew!) This produces an acid byproduct that smells unpleasant, says podiatrist Joy Rowland, DPM.
“Bacteria and fungi and all those lovely little bugs love heat, moisture and darkness — and the inside of your shoe is the best place for that to happen,” she explains. So we have after extensive reading developed 5 clear cut ways to get Rid of Smelly or Stinky Feet.
If you have stinky feet, you should wash your feet every day. You can wash them as you shower, or you can scrub them in a tub with warm water. Dry your feet thoroughly, including between the toes.
You should avoid wearing the same shoes two days in a row to let them air out. In addition, you can wash the insoles of your shoes to help them smell better.
Another way to help reduce stinky feet is by using a disinfectant spray on your shoes and letting them air dry. This will kill off any bacteria living in your shoes.
3. Use Powder on your Shoes & Feet
Yes thats right we need to kill those dreaded bacteria and bugs, and this is another way that helps a lot. We recommend Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Foot Powder . This contains 100% pure Australian Tea Tree Oil, and is known to control foot odour from sweaty feet.
