Tired of Smelly Feet? Here’s How to Stop It from Happening

Tired of Smelly Feet? Here’s How to Stop It from Happening

Summary: Are you tired of worrying if other people can smell your feet, too? Here’s a quick and effective way to reduce foot odor.

Does the phrase, “trick or treat, smell my feet” have a whole different meaning when you say it? Are you tired of changing your socks multiple times a day? Do you hide dryer sheets in your shoes to cover up the smell of foot odor so the people around you won’t notice? You aren’t alone. Statistics show that close to 16 percent of Americans suffer from foot odor, otherwise known as bromodosis. In fact, it’s a common enough problem that, for a lot of people, it wouldn’t even register as a medical concern. However, for some people, the struggle is a bit more real than it is for others. Let’s take a look at why that is and what you can do to prevent the smell of your feet from disrupting your life.

Sweaty Feet

What Causes Smelly Feet?

Foot odor is caused by a combination of factors: namely sweat and bacteria. Your feet actually have more sweat glands than any other part of your body, and that fun fact is why you hear about smelly feet way more than you hear about sweaty calves. Of course, foot odor isn’t caused by sweat alone. The sweat is just a contributing factor. When your feet sweat, and when your shoes and socks prevent that sweat from evaporating and cause your feet to remain damp, bacteria and fungi become attracted to your feet, and that is what actually causes the smell. That bacteria and fungi can also lead to other problems, like athlete’s foot. However, since sweat is a leading factor in the cause of smelly feet, foot odor can be a particular problem for people who have medical conditions that cause them to sweat a lot, like hyperhidrosis and diabetes.

Love to shop for these products. I have used these shields for at least forty years. thank you for staying in business. It is amazing how many people do not know about these products to save their clothes.

How Can You Prevent Foot Odor From Happening?

There are a few things that can help you keep your feet odor-free:

  1. Wear shoes and socks that properly moisture-wick and ventilate your feet. Allowing your feet to breathe will allow the sweat to evaporate, making your feet and the inside of your shoes a much less inhabitable place for bacteria and fungi to grow.
  2. Step up your hygiene routine. Change your socks more often, wash and dry your feet (especially between your toes), and clean the insides of your shoes. Use an antifungal soap, and make sure you keep your toenails short and the dead skin filed off your feet so the bacteria can’t grow there.
  3. Buy the right products for your feet. There are a lot of different products out there that can help make your feet less hospitable for the bacteria that cause foot odors. Medicated foot powders and antifungal sprays are one option. Another is to purchase products that can keep your feet from sweating so much, like foot deodorant and Dry Feet Clinical Antiperspirant Wipes.

Invest in a few accessories for your shoes. Don’t just focus all the attention on your feet. Preventing perspiration can help, but it will also help if your shoes are equipped to handle the sweat when it happens. Medicated insoles will prevent bacteria growth inside your shoes, and Dry Soles Shoe Inserts will keep any moisture away from your feet so they stay dry and odor-free all day long.
