Why Do Feet Smell?✨✨
In the summer, when you come home and take off your shoes, you might notice an overwhelming odor emanating from them. The smell can be so strong that it’s hard to describe.😂😂
Why does this happen?🤔🤔
The main reason is that feet have many sweat glands and can produce as much sweat as a cup of water per day. Additionally, bacteria such as Micrococcus, Staphylococcus, and Corynebacterium break down the sweat and dead skin cells on the feet, leading to the unpleasant odor.
Moreover, when sweat is broken down, acidic substances like isovaleric acid (3-methylbutanoic acid) and acetic acid are produced, creating a strong smell inside the shoes.✨✨
Furthermore, 15-25% of people have some form of athlete’s foot, which can cause dead skin and toenail debris to accumulate in socks and shoes, promoting bacterial growth.
When feet smell, the inside of the shoes becomes acidic. Spraying a solution of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and water inside the shoes and letting it dry can help neutralize the odor.😂😂
Additionally, herbs like citronella oil, tea tree oil, peppermint, and eucalyptus oil have antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. Spraying these oils inside the shoes can also help reduce the odor.✨✨
Before wearing shoes, it is important to trim your nails and wash your feet thoroughly. This can help reduce the smell to some extent. The best solution is to spray the inside of the shoes after taking them off.✨✨
Moreover, changing socks frequently and using insoles in your shoes can also help combat foot odor.✨✨

As for me, I frequently change my socks and insoles. However, since I walk and exercise regularly, my feet still tend to smell a lot.😂😂
I encourage everyone to try various methods to deal with foot odor.✨✨
