Sweaty feet can be caused by several things but your dark moist shoes provide a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and athletes foot.  Here are some precautions you can take to make your feet smell better.

• always dry your feet thoroughly
• change your socks and shoes daily
• always wear socks with closed shoes
• avoid wearing nylon socks or plastic shoes
• in extreme cases apply anitbacterial ointment daily
• bathe your feet in warm water and mild soap

The combination of sweat and heat inside the shoe makes for a perfect breeding ground for the bacteria and fungi that cause toenail fungus, athlete’s foot, and foul odor. And when foot conditions already exist, then shoes can also be a common source of post-treatment re-infection.
Therefore, to fully minimize the likelihood of new or re-infection, germs must be eradicated at the risk source!
