3 "tricks" with shoes that can significantly reduce the smell of sweat in the feet

When taking off shoes after wearing them for a long time, many people encounter unpleasant smells.

Even when buying an expensive pair of leather shoes, the problem of unpleasant odor may not be solved. Therefore, it is worth recognizing the reasons and finding the best ways to eliminate them.

Why does an unpleasant smell appear?

In order to get rid of the consequences, first of all it is necessary to determine why the unpleasant aroma appears. There are several main reasons:

1. Poor hygiene. If you rarely change your socks and ignore elementary rules of hygiene, then a similar problem will begin to manifest itself even when wearing high-quality shoes.
2. Diseases You should not immediately think about the low quality of shoes or other reasons. Fungal diseases are often the cause of an unpleasant smell. Do not rule out problems with the vegetative system, since the work of the sweat glands is disturbed.
3. Poor quality shoes and socks. There are materials through which the foot does not breathe, due to which an unpleasant aroma is manifested due to increased humidity.
4. Age period. Often, an unpleasant aroma is manifested in teenagers due to a change in the work of the vegetative system. Therefore, teenagers should take care of their hygiene more carefully and use various means that prevent this problem from occurring.
5. Proper care. The smell will definitely appear if you refuse banal care.
