Regimen for Smelly Shoes

Smelly shoes are just the worst. It seems that your feet are producing a lot of sweat. You tried to solve the problem by cleaning and disinfecting your feet but the smell seems to linger still. Why is that?

Doctors said that do not blame your sweat glands. Closed shoes are to blame. They will make your sweat glands work even harder. Rather, just use open shoes. Somehow, in reality, foot sweat is actually odorless. However, when the perspiration combines with bacteria and decomposes – most of all in warm, humid, dim environment like your boots or closed shoes – foot fungus sprout and produce bad smells.

The best solution is to kill the germs and not your feet. To wipe out those germs, use disinfectants, like Lysol, to spray the inside of your shoes. Another way is to pour amount of rubbing alcohol on a tissue and leave overnight inside the shoes. Another ridiculous idea is to fill knee-high nylon stockings with cat waste or litter. Secure a knot on top and insert it in the shoes for a day. This should be your last resort.

As much as possible change shoes in different seasons. Winter shoes suffer a lot. Do not wear the same shoes every day. Let it dry first under the sun after a sweaty exercise or possible wash it right away. Airing out those shoes after gym workout and wear them again when you feel it is not wet anymore. If possible just wear an open sandal afterwards.
