The feet and hands contain more sweat glands than any other part of the body (about 3,000 glands per square inch). Feet smell for two reasons: you wear shoes and your feet sweat. The interaction between your perspiration and the bacteria that thrive in your shoes and socks generates the odor. Any attempt to reduce foot odor has to address both your sweating and your footwear.

Foot Odor and Smelly Feet

Smelly feet can also be caused by an inherited condition called hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, which primarily affects males. Stress, some medications, fluid intake and hormonal changes also can increase the amount of perspiration your body produces.

We have very helpful products that can reduce or eliminate the embassrassment of foot odor. We suggest using a deoderant product that will reduce the secretion of sweat. Also, always washing your feet thoroughly. Changing your socks throughout the day, whenever they feel moist, will reduce the smell. Wearing quality shoes, made from leather or breathable material reduce the perspiration and cotton socks are best to absorb any sweat that does occur.
