How to Stop Smelly Feet

              

Smelly feet aren’t much fun for anyone but there are some simple things you can do to make sure your feet stay fresh.

Medically known as bromidrosis, stinky feet can be a bit embarrassing and unpleasant for you and everyone around you. But there are simple things you can do to stop your feet from getting smelly in the first place, or to clear up the problem.

 

What can I do to prevent it?

Why do your feet smell?

Your feet smell for two reasons: you wear shoes and your feet sweat.

Every day your feet produce an eggcup’s worth of sweat, which is absorbed by your shoes. At the end of the day, you take your shoes off and store them in a dark cupboard, where bacteria and fungi break down that sweat. The next day you put your shoes back on, complete with all that decomposed sweat, so it’s no wonder your feet get a bit smelly.
