Smelly Feet: What Causes It and How to Fix It

Smelly Feet: What Causes It and How to Fix It, updated 9/26/24, 3:58 AM

Do you have smelly feet that make you cringe? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Foot odor is more common than you think, and while it can be embarrassing, it's also fixable with the right care.

Why do feet smell?
Smelly feet happen when sweat gets trapped inside your shoes, creating the perfect environment for bacteria to grow. These bacteria break down the sweat, producing that distinct, unpleasant odor. Certain materials in shoes and socks can also make the problem worse by not allowing your feet to breathe.

How to eliminate foot odor
Start by washing your feet daily with antibacterial soap and drying them thoroughly. Change your socks often, especially if you sweat a lot. Using moisture-wicking socks made of materials like cotton or wool can make a huge difference. You can also try foot powders or antiperspirant sprays designed to keep your feet dry and odor-free.

Preventing future problems
Air out your shoes between wears and try not to wear the same pair two days in a row. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside your shoes to absorb moisture and reduce odor. If all else fails, a quick soak in vinegar or tea can help kill bacteria and freshen up your feet.
